A WONDERFUL
DISCOVERY
Phenomena Unearthed Is Miracle to
Baffled Scientists
EARTHLY ELEMENTS CONQUERED
Original Research Work by Penn
State Men Attracts Universal At
tention. New Discovery Will Un_
doubtedly Revolutionize all Sci
entific Theory.
Are you a believer ? What was
impossible yesterday is the common
practice of today. Truly this is
the age of marvelous progress and
inexhaustible achievments. The
recent discoveries of the Penn State
men who have been consistently
working on 'the practically unknown
subjects of "Climatic Disturbances
and Their Causes and Eifeets" have
contributed to science actual facts
which undoubtedly will replace all of
the former theories which have
,seemingly appeared to have been
well-founded. The terrible erup-
tions of Vesuvius, Mt. Pelee and
many others famous volcanoes
have been beyond mortal control,
mainly through the lack of
science to provide feasible schemes
to combat the combustible
elements , reposing in their' cra
ters, but now, there can no long
er be any fear' for a repetition of
these unwelcome shocks.
Dr. Knowlittle„ who has had
charge of 'the students that are work
ing up the data on the subject
claims that the climatic reversals
and eccentricities are the sources
underlying . these shocks in the
earth's formation, and he further
states that with proper application
of certain heretofore unknown ele
ments in the climate, results may
be accomplished that will keep the
volcanic Ciaters permanently at
rest.
Unquestionably, the State -Col
lege public will have ample oppor
tunity to verify the validity of the
new scientific discoveries, as phy
sicists have predicted the eruption
of Bald Top on the evening of April
7, Should this ancient old moun
tain burst forth, . its fury would be
evidently little less than totally de
structive, and the situation therefore
is such that the eruption must be
quelled.
Everything depends on Dr. Know
little and his ' "Climatologers".
What his methods are,no one knows,
but he states positively that he will,
gucCessfully ward off the catastrophe
and give the secret of the science to
the, world.. The w,hole action of
his experiment will take place in
the Auditorium at 8 o'clock on Fri
day night, Api il 7.
European scientists and physicists
have cabled ahead for room to wit
ness this remarkable performance
and the seats in the massive Audi
torium are fast being engaged.
Have you got yours ? Get it now !
Notice.
