A distinguished astronomer ana meteorologist declares that the world two hundred years hence will be caught fast in the frozen ©rip of another ice age, due to ethe earth hot producing enough carbonic acid gas. Giant glaciers will form at the poles and spread towards the equator and in their inevitable progression will twist the earth into an ice-capped waste. , The profeseoir believes that' there have already been two glacial periods between which was a period with a temperature such as is now enjoyed.—Aus.-N.Z.
