GREAT CONTINENT
GEOLOGICAL THEORY
(Received November 17, 11.50 a.m.) WASHINGTON, November 16.
The annual report of the Smithsonian Institution contains the findings of W. W. Watts, a British geologist, which lend credence to the theory that South Africa, South America, and Australia were once parts of a great continent near the Pole. There are cited as chief evidence scratches caused by glacial drift' over rocks and glacial deposits of gravel. It is stated that fragments of the supposed continent can be fitted together fairly well, considering the dates of severance.
