RETURN OF ICE AGE
POSTPONEMENT PREDICTED METEOROLOGIST'S OPINION LONDON, Oct. 20 Sir Goorgo Simpson, who was a member of Scott's Antarctic expedition and is a world-famed meteorologist, believes that tho return of tho ice age will bo postponed. Sir Goorge'B last act before retiring from the post of director of tho London Meteorological Office was to announce that his estimate of tho return of tho ice ago was too small by 1000 years. Ho says that the decrease in the sun's heat causes the probable date to bccomo more remoto. "That sounds paradoxical," ho adds, "but increased heat causes more wind, moro clouds and moro snow."
