The ice rises steadily from the edge to the center. At that center it cannot be less than 12 miles in thickness—twice as thick as Mount Everest is high. Suppose it splits. Imagine the’ gigantic mass of water and ice that will come sweeping up north over'the oceans and continents of the earth! Where, then, will the. last: man breathe his final gasp? High up in the snows of some great range he will perish miserwhose tossing waters will lie the whole of the races of the world. Or last, and perhaps dreariest fate of all, the human race may outlive other mammals and last until the sun, us some day it must, grows dull and cold and vegetation dies from the chilled earth. The miserable remnant of earth’s people must then slowly die out after ages of an existence to which that of the Eskimo of today is a paradige.
