SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE
FINDINGS OF BRITISH GEOLOGIST [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph— Copy right 1 (Received 17lh November, 9.50 a.m.) WASHINGTON, 16th November. The annual report of the Smithsonian Institution contains the findings of W. W. Watts, a British geologist, lending credence to the theory that South Africa, South America, and Australia were once parts of a great continent near the Pole. The report cited that the chief evidence was the scratching's of glacial drifts over rocks, glacial deposits, and gravel and states that the fragments of the supposed continent can be fitted together fairly well considering the date of severance.
