THEIR CHALLENGE TO SCIENCE.
They Say Humanity Is Living in a
Hollow Sphere, and They Say It
Boldly.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
New Brighton, Nov, 23.—The "Sym
mes's hole" theory, considerably varied
to suit modern notions, has been revived
by a society whose members live in this
town, Beaver Falls, and many other
I tarts of the Beaver Valley. John Cleves
Symmes, of Kentucky, in 181 H promul
gated his famous theory that the earth
is a hollow sphere, habitable within, ojion
at the poles for the admission of light,
and containing within it six or seven con
centric hollow spheres, also open at the
jtoles. The local scientists not only claim
that the earth is habitable within, hut
that we, the people of to-day. arc actually
dwelling in the earth's interior.
Fearing ridicule, the members of this
society, have been very slow to express to
outsiders their actual belief. But of late
those who have become converted to the
theory are becoming more bold in their
utterances, and some weeks ago. it is
said, they sent A. L. McDonald, one of
their members, on a tour of investigation
to the mountain regions of the far west,
and also to California to visit the great
Lick Observatory, to gather material to
bolster up their jieculiur ideas.
The society is no t composed of long
haired cranks or visionaries. It is made
up of level-headed business men and |iro
fessional men. including some of the bet
ter educated mechanics. McDonald, who
is now at Kan Jose. Cal., is a well-known
citizen of Beaver Falls, engaged in the

coal business, and has never been accused
ot crankism. Asa result of his investiga
tions. he is now in possession of facts, as
he believes, that will startle the world
when he makes them public. This after
noon one of the leading members of the
organization, a prominent merchant doing
business on Broadway, in this town, said
in an interview :
•Yes, wo fully believe that the theories
advanced by astronomers and'scientists,
that the inhabitants of the earth are liv
ing on the outside of it are ali wrong. We
believe that the earth is hollow, and that
we live on the inside of it. We base our
belief principally on Scripture, yet we
have abundant evidence otherwise to
prove that we are correct. The idea is
not anew one: it had been held by many
prominent men for ages past, but for fear
of ridicule they have kept quiet. There
are a number of branches of this society
all over the United States, and next
spring it is proposed to hold a convention
in Beaver rails, and boldly proclaim the
belief."
The following letter is from McDonald:
San Jose, Cal.. Nov. 15, 1K98.—"1 will
call on all of you. who do your own think
ing, to read carefully the following arti
cle on astronomy: Following imme
diately after my trip to the world-re
nowned Lick Observatory, and a candid
look through the, largest telescope on
earth, on Mount Hamilton. Cal., 1 will
begin my making the assertion that to
tn.y mind the whole Copern lean system of
astronomy is a fake, pure and simple, or
almost entirely so. I will call on the
truth (the work of God) to prove my as
sertion. which will vindicate tne almost
fo an indisputable certainty The earth
is a hollow, concave shell, and the sun
is up in the center, divided one-half light
and one-half dark. Around and next to
the sun is an atmosphere call Aberon.
Next comes an atmosphere called (pure)
hydrogen. Next is our atmosphere. Next
is the concave surface, or circumference
of our earth in which all live.

turns once every day and rotates to and
fro once every year, making night and

ory of a ship's topmast, first appearing
when approaching and last appearing
when disappearing, is very easily ex
ploded. A large body of water always
appears to rise in front and above you and
on every side, which is a positive truth.
Such is the case. And that large tracts
of prairie land always seem to rlie at a
distance all around you is positively ti tle,
