RECURRENCE. OF THE DELUGE
. . . . .
-Lieutenant Julien,"e scientific:officer of the
French'N'avy, hus - Written a Work justptiblisb
ed, entitled srCurantes de l'Atmosphete et de
la titer;" in which he puts forward 'a new • the
.oty on. the inevitable periodical: return of a.
cataclysm similarto that knoWn Under 'the
name of the..lfniversal Deluge. The author
starts with one.: fact,.viz: 'that the' :arithertnal
linee of the highest ter , Perature are ,unequaly
distributed betwen northern andibuthern
'spheres, the . space they occupy' in the former
being about the doubts of-.that which they oe
citpy.south of the equator, so that the southern
hemisPhere is.Censiderable eolder,esperially to-.
ward the pole, than the northern one. VViienthe
whole,surface of earth was,.covered with
water; (says hietitenant Julien;) its Centre of
gravity coincided with its geometrical can tre.
From that momentr i s revolution . around'the.
tun ' commenced, 'and ' those cat's 8 which
have led to the inequality, of' temperature:
tweeemthe two liernispberei heron to operate.
In the .course of a few cemurics the: ice
at the . south pole beeame in chrisquence
heavier than that accumulated at the north
pole, and the centre of gravity was . .dierilaced
southwards; emthematicians,;.in fact, state
ghat the'difrerence between the latter and the
geometrical centre to be about 1..70 . 0 metres,
Under these circumstances ' yvhat could the li
quid' surface of the .globe do- but flew. .south- -
.ward, leaving all the continent We are familiar
with to be uncovered ! Here. Julien ob
eerves.that all the regicirmot- !Ile southern hem.'
isphere bear.unmistakeable . meirks ;of submer
sion:- that America,. Africa, and. India end in
points, all 'humid toward the south pole; -that the .
lslittiasef the southern. regions have the. op
pearance, of the:summits Of • .moitntain.rangea,
and that Lieutenant - iktitiry's Soun'dinge 'show'
that the co its on that: side, descend'abrubt

• thatin going from the:north.to the South 'pole;
