SNUFFING OUT THE
WORLD’S LIFE
(By Wickes Wamboldt)
Did you ever wake up in the nigh
experiencing a strange sensation—
that period of the night sometime b>
tween one oclock and four oclock
when sick people die?
Were you ever in a position a
this time to observe the actions oi
the domestic animals? The dog
prowls suspiciously around the placn
the horse whinnies uneasily; the com
is restless and lows complainingly
the ducks quack in whispers; th.
chickens talk and fuss amongst
themselves.
And you—you don’t feel righ
yourself. If you have a sheet ovoi
you, you are too warm. If you tak;
it off, you are too cold. Your win
dows are open and it is not a hot
night, and yet you cannot breathe
You are nervous and apprehensive.
You feel- the existence is precarious
and could be easily stopped in a
minute if things took a wrong turn
The feeling passes off as morning
advances.
You have undoubtedly had that
experience. I have many times. At
first I thought the trouble was in
myself—too much mince pie, lobster
salad, or Welsh rarebit before going
to bed. But I took occasion from
time to time to check up with my
aCquaintances, and found that they
frequently had the same sensations
at the same time.
Furthermore I found this phenom
enon was not confined to any partic
ular locality. I have observed it ir.
California and in Massachusetts, in
the state of Washington and in Flor
ida; so I came to the conclusion that
the cause was outside of ourselves
Perhaps it was atmospheric. Per
haps we were whirling through
some stratum of malignant gas that
had drifted onto us out of space.
Pedhaps it was the sinister action
of some other planet. At any rate
some influence often makes us feel
nervous and uncanny vyithout any ap
parent reason, in the small hours of
the night. •
Many weird and appalling things
have happened to this earth. What
happened to the various ancient civ
ilizations whose relics we dig up ev
ery now and then? What obliterated
them and buried them? What broke
the continuity between them and us?
Our own continent, the western hem
isphere, bears mute and positive tes
timony to great cataclyms.
What set the Pacific ocean on fire
at some remote period? That whole
section was ablaae once. Mountains
•tend there today burnt to a crumble
and'the basis of the land Is ashes of
rocks. In the central west is an oceah
bed where sharks’ teeth are found.
What removed the ocean?
There was at one time, according
to geological indications, a colossal
natural bridge extending over the
Colupibiaj/iver where it bored thru
the Cascade Range on its way to the
sea. Indian legends refer to this span
as the bridge of the gods, which at
some time was shattered by some ter
rifie S
What iduced Stone Mountain—
that huge, marvelous bubble qf gran
ite, seven hundred feet high, cover
ing an area of two square miles—
that rises with startling vividness in
an open plain near Atlanta, Georgia.

animals bigger tjhan aVephftmts—in
habitants of the Temperate Zone,
