Clark of Kansjs City gave a lecture on astronomy ft the Methodist church Tuesday ewping under the auspices of the public schools. There was a fair attendant ie > the audience being composed mostly of pupils of the schools. The lectui ® r advanced a few good ideas, apparent y, but most of hie theories were of a eei national character and based largely upon assumption rather than upon proven facte. It will be some time before he will be able to convince a thinking w orld, in the face of established scientific tacts, that there is no land higher than et !a level, or that the spring floods in the rivers are caused by tides from the oceai l flowing through subterranean rivers instead of by the melting snows in tl >e mountains and other causes. If the lecturer’s theories are correct why is it ' hat we don t have these floods more at o .her seasons of the year, when the oceat 1 has its tides as well as in the spring c f the year. 'A on der if these ocean tide 9 are the cans ■ of Pine Creek overflowin 5 * n the spring of the year? If there is no land above sea level, according to R( v Clark e theory , how can he explain the fact of the isl mde rising in the sea, sou letimes hundreds of feet above the watei, level?
