Snow seldom falls in arctic regions now. Dr. Kane saw sledge tracks that were made several years previously. How then did those boundless reaches of snow and ice accumulate but by the descent of Annular vapors? Animals are found entombed in the frozen soil and snows under the arctic circle. For many years a large trade has been carried on in ivory, by Siberian traders, dug from the frozen soil. Many of the animals, as the mammoth, rhinoceros, etc., remain undecayed, and in their stomachs and between their teeth are found the vegetation upon which they fed. And even the capillary blood vessels still retaining their contents, showing that there was not the slightest decomposition, but that the catastrophe which overwhelmed them was sudden. The climate was changed as by a stroke, which congealed and sealed the land in ice, locking the mammoth and other animals therein. Had those animals not been frozen soon as killed, putrification and decomposition must have taken place. Nothing but the down-rush of snows from the earth’s Annular System could have done this. These remains are dredged from the northern oceans, and they are also found fossilized over large portions of Siberia; in both cases being doubtless dropped from icebergs. The mammoth is found frozen in a glacier; the glacier was originally snow; the destruction must necessarily have been sudden. If not more than one tenth of the waters now upon the earth had fallen in the form of snow it would have covered the entire land surface of the globe more than 30,000 feet deep; and as one tenth must have fallen in polar regions it brings out the Annular Theory as a competent source. The sudden fall of snow sufficient to overwhelm a semi-tropical world could not accumulate in the atmosphere as it now does, and fall therefrom. It must have come from a source beyond the atmosphere. The overcanopying fund of vapors acted as a mighty robe to the earth, keeping out the cold of space, and equally distributing solar heat over the globe and causing terrestial warmth. The animals were much larger than their representatives are now, showing that the atmosphere was heavier and possessed more buoyant power by the pressure of a vast ocean of vapors in the higher regions. The downfall of water caused continual upheavals, and mountain making, which is proved by finding marine fossils along the seashore, and elsewhere far above the ocean. Terraces of the Champlain epoch in New England that must have been formed in the sea, are now found elevated hundreds of feet. All geologists agree that there have been many floods upon the earth. The great telluric glaciers of recent geologic times were melted under the tropic influence of the Annular vapors resulting in deluges. Under the vast pressure of the accumulated waters the plastic ocean bed goes down and forces its foundation under the continent by lateral pressure, and causes upturned and crumpled strata in many places, and also volcanic phenomena.
