The old Norseman also maintained that from the farthest points of land on the islands of Spitzbergen and Franz Josef Land, flocks of geese may be seen annually flying still farther northward, just as the sailors and explorers record in their log books. THE OLD NORSEMEN ALSO MAINTAINED THAT FROM THE FARTHEST POINTS OF LAND ON THE ISLANDS OF SPITZBERGEN AND FRANZ JOSEPH LAND FLOCKS OF GEESE MAY BE SEEN ANNUALLY FLYING STILL FARTHER NORTHWARD JUST AS THE SAILORS AND EXPLORERS RECORD IN THEIR LOG BOOKS
portation are as far in advance of ours as we with our boasted achievements are in advance of the inhabitants of "darkest Africa." The distance directly across the space from inner surface to inner surface is about six hundred miles less than the recognized diameter of the earth. In the identical center of this vast vacuum is the seat of electricity--a mammoth ball of dull red fire--not startlingly brilliant, but surrounded by a white, mild, luminous cloud, giving out uniform warmth, and held in its place in the center of this internal space by the immutable law of gravitation. This electrical cloud is known to the people "within" as the abode of "The Smoky God." They believe it to be the throne of "The Most High." Olaf Jansen reminded me of how, in the old college days, we were all familiar with the laboratory demonstrations of centrifugal motion, which clearly proved that, if the earth were a solid, the rapidity of its revolution upon its axis would tear it into a thousand fragments.
