The Son of the Theorist Detoul- His Father's Hobby. . . A. venerable-looking old gentleman, with fast whitening full beard, thick gray hair, eyes shrouded by specta cles, and the respectable dress of a well-to-do farmer, lectured at Lied " 'erkranz hall last evening. TLo old gentleman was the exponent or the most visionary of theories in regard to the Arctic "regions. He was Mr. Americas Symmes, son of John Cleve Symmes, who in 1S24, published a little book promulgating a theory. The multitude know it only in con nection with ''Symmes' Hole," the grotesqueness of that idea fastening it firmly upon the popular mind. Twenty-three people, including three reporters, were present to hear the lecture. Mr. Symmes had an nounced that it was to be upon the Qreely explorations as bearing out his father's theory. He was evident ly disappointed at the smallness of the audience, and several times feel ingly referred to the fact that he was unable to make the world ac quainted with his peculiar views. He spoke as follews: "I come before you in obedienoe to my father's dying request that I would keep an eye on Arctio explora tions and see how they would bear out his theory. I have done so. I have watched the explorations of Lieut. Greely, and they certainly bear out what the world of scientists has long called a visionary idea. They fought that theory, as exempli fied in this little book. It was pub lished by my father in 1824, and was then gladly sold at SI a volume. Now it can be got nowhere for less than $12, if, indeed, a copy is any where for sale. I know of but one man in this city with one, and he would not take $50 for it "According to my father's theory the earth is hollow, globular and open at the poles. The shell of the earthis about 1,000 miles thiok,and the distance from verge to verge of the shell at the openings is about 1,500 miles. The edge of the verge is about 70s north latitude, and it is the coldest place on earth. When you advance over that you can see very clearly, and the temperature be comes much warmer. At about 80 ' north latitude is the true magnetic pole, and when you get at 82J the pole is -behind you. You are then go ing south, and will see large flocks of wild birds, and great numbers of wild animals. This is very different from the Newtonian theory, which J)laces the magnetic pole at 90 north atitude, which is now supposed to be surrounded by eternal ice and is the -coldest spot on the globe. "Now, for the proofs. Greely in his explorations found the weather to be growing warmer as he went fur ther north. People will believe Gree ly, but not Nordenakjoln, Tuttle, Sar ben and "Wiggins. They went very far north, and found a land on which grew big trees, where there was warm 'water and large rivers. Nordenska jold thought it was Siberia. "Wig gins found the same country inhab ited by a strange people?. How could he have found these people if he had sot been going south and if it had not been in the hollow of the earth. "Where could they have come out if they had continued to go if not at the south pole? Capt. "Wiggins, Tuttle and Sarben all saw these people, and they 'asked them how they came there. It was a wonderful country, with multitudes of game, elephants, mas todons, gold "mines, men seven and eight feet high and women nearly as large. They asked him how he came there and were very f riendly. sGreely mode several excursions. The further north he went the milder became the climate, and once he saw aTalley sixty miles wide and full of game. Don't that compare with Symmes' theory? The next trip he took he found the further he went the milder becane the weather. He waded brooks and swam rivers. How does that compare with Newton, who says this is a place of great cold? And yet people don't believe in Symmes. They won't come and let me convince them. I stand solitary and alone, the only believer. i"Newton says thepole is surround ed by the ice; Symmes by an open sea Explorers didn't know what to do when they found the magnetic pole. On Capt Parry's third voyage he took reindeer, and thought to gain the north pole over the ico or pfirish. He found the weather grow ing warmer, the ice thinner and streams of water abundant. At 80 he found the water flowing with a stiff current How could that be if it'didn't go in at one pole and out at the other? Look at the fish always going south and never returning. At 82 40 min. Capt Parry couldn't find a cake of ice strong enough to bear him'up, and the sun was so hot it melted the pttch in his boats. "When he got past 80 the compass flickered and pointed behind him. He was passing the magnetic pole. And so it was with Capt Boss, Dr. Kane, Capt Hull and others. They all found an open sea. "Capt Symmes, then a resident of Newport, petitioned Congress to send binrout on an expedition, but was ig ndred. Had he gone he would have found the open sea and that country where Oreely says he spent two such pleasant years. He said it was the paradise of the North, Capt Symmes said that the magnetic pole was at 89 the land which he called Symmes zonia." The lecturer went on to describe what a pleasant land this Symmes aoiiia must be with its elephantft, mastodons and eight feet man and woman. He asked the boys it they would like to take double-barreled guns and dogs and bag a few ele phants and mastodons in one after noon. That is the greatest place for game in the world, and it must be the mosfhealthy place. He was of the opinion that it was from here the 3hinese 'got their ivory and other means for her supporting her 400,000, OWxif population. "What am Io do?" Mr. Symmes concluded. "How am I. to let the wJnwwhat-myfather'beliered? I Lave asked the people to come to hear me, but they will not I am not to blame for holding up this old Ken tucky philosopher, and I will do all that I can. though his theory beggar ed him, all his family and myself. I believe in it, and it will yet be proved true. Next spring Greely will go back, and either by him or some one else, Symmeszonia will be discovered. - Louisville Courier JonrnaJ- Kncouraiw; Dairymen.- Association. If Oregon's governor and other public men would take the iuterest in the dairy industry of this section that is indicated by the following extract from a epcech recently delivered be fore the Dairymen's Association of Wisconsin by Governor Rusk of that state, new general fcterest would be awaKenoa, ana mis now comparative ly dormant resource of the great northwest would soon assume pro portions scarcely second to any other now in progress of development, it is a noteworthy fact that but few of the public men of the Pacific coast ;take any interest in the agricultural development of the country, uov. Rusk's enthusiasm is worthy of emu lation. He said: "Now, friends, I have wandered; I wanted to say that I am here to-day to meet and encourage you in this great business of our state. It is a great business it must take the front of others that are passing away. The wheat growing belt has passed beyond us west and north, and we must turn our attention to other products. I say I am here to-day to encourage you in that enterprise, for I think it is the foremost in our state, and this society has done wonders in developing it. I am not a scientific butter maker or cheese manufacturer, I know nothing about it only what I have learned from your reports. All I know I have learned from the reports sent out by this association. I say that you ought to make your reports in teresting to every farmer in the state, and they should be circulated broadcast and in that the state ought to assist you. Not only your selves, but the entire state is interested in this matter, and instead of appropriating for your benefit S500 to aid you in printing ana circu lating your reports, you should come up and ask for $5,000, or any sum j that you need and can expend in this way profltably. It is to the advan tage of all the people of the state to have all these experiments tried test ed and done at the expense of the state. The financial condition of the state is good, and now I will state, all j'ou have to do is to ask your mem- j uera ux, uiu leyi&iuiuiu aj iippiupiiiiie it. I will approve the measure, if I am there, andTvill send you the mon ey. If you will ask me to recommend $5,000 1 will do it. I am not sure! but whatl will do it whether you ask it or not. 1 want to see you prosper, until you can beat Canada, and boat all the world. The Significance of Rins. It is understood tbat a gentleman who desires to marry wears a plain or chased gold ring upon the first fin ger of the left or heart hand. "When he becomes engaged the ring passes to tbe second finger. After marriage it passes to the third finger. If, how ever, the gentleman desires his lady friends to clearly -understand that he is not "in the market" and does not wish to marry at all, ho wears the signet upon his little finger. This will inform all ladies that he is be yond reach. "With the ladies a plain or chased gold ring on the little fin ger of the left hand indicates "not engaged" or ready for an offer. "When engaged the ring passes to the third finger of the right hand. "When married the third finger on the left hand receives the ring. "When a young lady desires todefy all suitors she places rings one" on the first and one on the fourth finger. A writer on the subject of rings says : "Though the ring of gold has long been looked upon as a necessity in the marriage coremony, it is by no means indispensible, and civil mar riages may be contracted without it The Puritans abolished the ring, or rather, tried to do so; they looked upon its use as superstitious and of heathen origin. Quakers generally object to the ring on account of its heathen origin, but the ladies of that persuasion have shown a decided preference for its continuance on ac count of the invidious position in which a married lady might be placed for the waut of it "Wedding rings are placed on the left hand to typify obedience. The converse is probably the reason why the engagement band is plaoed on the third right-hand finger of ajiancee, who still possesses a large amount of freedom, and fre quently exercises her power in anJ aroitrary manner- THE BLAIE HAT. "Yon ask rue the reason I wear a white hat, 'Tis for lightness I wear it, what think you of that? So light is its weight that no headache I rue, So light its expense that it wears mo out two; So light is its color that it never looks dusty. So light though I treat it, it never rides rusty; So light as its fashion, its phapa and its air; So light in its turning, its twisting and twining, So light to a figure, so light to a letter, And if light my excuse you may light on a better."
