An Aspiring Glacialist

Abstract

GEOLOGISTS and physicists have been at their VJ wits end to discover the cause of the Glacial period. They may now cease from cudgelling their brains-Dr. True, of McConnelsville, O., has finally solved the mystery. The explanation is so simple that all who have meddled with the question must be chagrined to think that a solution so obvious should have escaped them. The author tells us that when he “first began to read on this subject, he had a preconceived opinion of the cause, which to him seemed so reasonable that he wondered why others had not come to the same conclusion.”

The Cause of the Glacial Period.

By H. L. True Pp. 162. (Cincinnati: Robert Clarke Company, 1902.)
