EASTER ISLAND THEORY. (Sun Special.) LONDON, May 24. Professor McMillan Brown, Chancellor of the University of New Zealand, discussing in the “Manchester Guardian’’ his theory that Easter Island was once surrounded by archipelagoes, which sank between 1686 and 1722, said that Captain Ault, of the Carnegie, found scores of submarine island? round Easter Island.
