BANG GOES ANOTHER BELIEF.
Earth Not Round Lik: an Orange,
put—Well, Read for Yourself,
When we were children we were
told that the earth was round like
an orange, and we were foolish
enough to belleve it. Moreover, we
have been passing this intelligence
along to the present generation in
the smug confidence that we were do
ing the right thing.
But now comes Prof. E. H. Lowe
of the Royal Soclety and makes us
ashamed of ourselves, says Lippin
cott's Magazine. He says that ou
planet is mot round like an orange
or like a ball or anything else as
homely as that.
On the eontrary, he declares what
in fact everybody ought to have
known long ago, that “the litho.
gphere is an ellipsoid with three un.
equal axes, having its surface de
rope.”
