EARTH'S 8,800-YEAR MUTATION CHANGES CUMATE AND POSITION OF POLES A despatch from Glasgow says: â€" Old Mother Earth has a permanent wave. She has had it all along, but it was noticed only recently by a mere mortal, Ludovic MacLellan Mann. Mr. Mann, who is a member of the Royal Anthropological Institute, the Pre-historic Society of East Anglia. i^id other scientific societies, told about his discovery in an address made on Thursday night before the members of learned societies in Glas- gow. There is a large wave, in slow mo- tion, within the body of the earth, said Mr. Mann. It moves around the planet once every 8,800 years, causing a slight motion in the position of tho axis and the poles and giving rise to changes in clintale. The discovery was made by him in comparing many ancient with modern astronomical ob- servations. The wave causes the terrestrial crust to pulsate, which accounts for raised and sunken land surfaces. The velocity, direction and ainpliludo of the wave bus been ascertained. Thus the ages in years of all ancient land surfaces ilnd of prehistoric periods can be determined. Knowledge of the S.SOO-year nuita- tioji. Mr. Maim said, had cnaWfd him to read astronomicai registers found in most parts of Europe and America, sculptored on rock surfaces. The same key had been successfully ap- plied to solve the mysteries of the Stonehenge, the celebrated pre- historic monument in Salisbury Plain, England, which is shown to be a cal- endric monument which registered astronomical events occurring in a period of twelve saros. which is the cycle of time in which the sun and moon nodes recur in the same relative positions.
