Flammarion Discusses a Discovery by the Scott Expedition. Paris.—Camille Plammarioii. (he cel ebrated astronomer, discussing I he statement that the" Sifytt expedition found evidence that the south pole had twice been a temperate zone, said: "The evidence evidently relates to tiie discovery of fossils of fauna and flora such as have already been found in the* arctic regions. These are taken by one school of theorists as proving that the poles oiiee occupied the posi tion of the equator and enjoyed a warm climate, while tiie two opposite points, now on tiie* equator, wore frozeii poles. "The theory is that the obliquity of the earth, which, us every one knows, travels around the sun at aii angle of 23 degrees, is liable to great variation. Thus from time to time during (lie millions of years tiie earth lias existed tlm poles have changed from place to place on the earth’s surface. "But tliis is only a theory and one which the exact science of astronomy does not so far support.” GOATS TO CHEAPEN LIVING. Cattlemen Declare Meat |3 as Good as Beef and Less Costly. El Paso,.
