-A little more than half a century
$£°> John Clever Syrnm.es, thpn a cap
Éain* m the regular arihy of the United
States, with headquarters at St. Lou
is, became impressed with the idea
that the earth was hollow, and habit
able within as well as without. He
devoted all his spare moments to the
study of philosophy, and in 1819, while
stationed at St. Louis, made known his
theory of the earth by means of circu
lars first, and then through the press
of that city.
The theory was then talked about
considerably. Capt. Symines concluded
to devote the remainder of iiis life to
the realization of his theory, and for
this purpose resigned his position in
the army. His next step was to make
known his theory to the world. This
he strove to do by lecturing through
the country, principally, however, in
the middle and eastern states. €apt.
Symmes was of the ^pinion that Con
gress might perhaps make an appro
priation necessary . fiir flttipg out an
expedition to the north, were his the
ory presented for consideration.
About this time he visited Col. Rich
ard M. Johnson, "of Kentucky, and
prevailed upon him to present'.the the
ory and desire oT tiie originaler to
Cbdgrehs. • bed. Jbhh'sdn *did so, and
after numerous delays the matter re
ceived the consideration of Congress,
by which body it yvas "lai(} pn the ta
ble," the vote' ftrH miéh pééèednre be
inÿ srnaCl, however. - .dipt. Symmes
jHaa diacopraged but did not despair,
resolving to again present the theory.
Before lie could do so, however, Connt
Romapsoff, of Russia, having heard of
Capl Symhibs/Ids hope«, Ate., wrote
him a letter concerning the same. The
iettf r promised Cagt Synptfep all that
would belïecessary for fitting out an
expedition to the polar regions and an
investigation of the theory, besides
agreeing to place the American in
Cprpfnapd l{e j w^qt^ oop^uct the
same under tlic auspices and authori
ty of Rhssia. l^iis kind offer by a
foreigner was declined because Capt.
t[on f t by. ^.^jRCwptry, and
«iiùno^ realm IMm an in
vestigatiou of hia. theory, that honor
would belong to the United States.

copy of Symmes' theory will give the
reader an idea of what it is.
According to Symmes' theory, the
earth is globular-hollow and widely
open at the poles. The diameter of
the northern opening is supposed to
be about two thousand or four theu-,
sand miles wide from outside to out
side. The south opening is supposed
to be somewhat larger. The planes
of these openings are parallel to each
other, but form an angle of twelve
degress with the equator, so that the
highest part of the northern plane is
directly opposite the lowest part of
the s> utheru plane. The shell of the
eaîth is supposed to be about one
thousand miles thick. The edges of
this shell are called verges, and meas
ure from the regular concavity with
in to the regular concavity without,
about fifteen hundred miles. The ver
ges occupy about twenty-five degrees,
and if delineated on a map would
show only the outer half of the verge,
while all above or farther from the
equater both north and south would
lie on the apex and within the verge.
All the polar regions upon the pres
ent map would be out of sight. The
meridian lines extend at right angles
from the equator to the outer edges of
the verges, and then wind round
along the surface of the verges, under
the highest parts of the same both
north and south.
From the regular convexity of the
interior concavity of the earth across
the verge is fifteen hundred -miles—a
distance so great that a vessel sailing
over the verge would not perceive the
change in her direction except from
the apparent change of the heavenly
bodies, or from the observations of the
difference iu the expanse of the visible
horizon.
A ship going north along the de
flected meridians and upon and over
the verge causes the apparent change
in the North star mentioned by Capt.
Parry, because lie says that wheu
sailing northward in high latitudes
the star in question rises over the bow
Of the ship tq the zenith and thon dé
clinée toward the stern. <*
According to the Newtonian, theory
the shff) mu8t h%ve sailed directly un
der the star and over and down upon
the opposite side of the earth. * Hfhis
can hardly be Irne as no na
has sailed io far porth. The ve^fipk
must have been sailing over^thé verge
and into tlie earth!* This 'would OeC
essarily Bring the N,earth star o vérifie
stern of the vessel. Capt. tioss,
other iekperieiicqd* rtavigator in, the
m»rill, when iu high .latitmW
the Verge, speaks bf the Arctic aejj^aa
calni and clear i»f ice,' while sôuthu,^

theory," says Symmes, "is that if it
were true the sun could' 1 not possibly
light and warm the interior of t he
world. This is easily explained Tl^r
rays of light come parallel from the
sun to the earth, and if it were no lar
ger than the earth they would fall at
least twelve degrees upon the con
cave interior surface as they passed
over the lower part of the verge, botli
north and south. But the earih ia
her annuai revolution, owing to the in
clination of the poles to the plane of
her orbit, alternately permits the inci
dent rays to fall • much more than
twelve degrees. This inclination is
twenty-three degrees and thirty min
utes, which, added to the-twelve de
grees angularity of the verge, gives
thirty-five degrees and thirty minutes
of the concave surface upon which the
direct rayB of the sun fall. But the« •
rays, passing over the dense cold a s*
of the verges, arc refracted many de
grees—probably ten or fifteen—so tli.-tf,
by one refraction and one or two re
flections the rays of light would be
thrown out over the verge to that
through which they entered, and be
cause these rays would converge uj»
on the concave surface. Instead of
diverging they would produce abun
dant light and heat throughout tire in
terior, so that this objection has not
the slightest force."
Many people believe in Symmes*
theory. Others, scientific souls, d«>
not place any faith in it, 1 and can pro
duce figures and facts, too,, perhaps,
to prove its impossibility. The pres
ent Mr. Symmes says that had Capt.
Hall gone several degrees farther
north he would have been enabled to
find such evidences as would have
proven his father's theory beyond a
doubt. Mr. Symmes has collected a
lot of interesting and wonderful facts
concerning his world to come, based
upon the discoveries of Kane, Hall
and.others, and proposes to use them
in verification of his * father's theory at
his lecture. The theories of Columbus
am} other« were ridiculed when first
made known;. so has been that of
.Symmes. : May it not be verified as
.theirs were?
