migrated southward to their present habitat. Their original more northern home was probably warmer than their present more southern one. It is strange that Reed's and Gardner's books, which presented such an epoch- making geographical theory, which they supported by the evidence of Arctic exploration during the past century - a theory comparable in importance to the theory that the Earth is round, when it was first proposed - should have been so disregarded (or were they suppressed?), so that today they are unavailable and very rare. (It was the author's good fortune to secure a copy of Gardner's book from a bookdealer handling rare books.) Is it possible that these books shared the fate of the news about Admiral Byrd's discoveries, Giannini's book and Palmer's magazine announcing Byrd's confirmation of Reed's and Gardner's theory of a hollow Earth with openings at the poles ? (A correspondent of the author's, living in Washington, D.C., wrote that he happened to look through the books in the library of a high official of the Air Force, with whom he had business, and, much to his surprise, he saw a copy of Gardner's book.) Evidently Gardner's theory of a hollow Earth is not unknown to government and military leaders in view of Admiral Byrd having confirmed it; but it is hushed up and not openly discussed. "Can you produce proof that any explorer reached the so-called North or South Pole ? "If there is no such thing as 83 to 90 degrees latitude ON the Earth, then how can one reach or fly over the North Pole? "If the Earth is not hollow, then why does the north wind in the Arctic get warmer as one sails north beyond 70 degrees latitude? "Why are there warm northerly winds and an open sea for hundreds of miles north of 82 degrees latitude ? "After 82 degrees latitude is reached, why is the needle of a compass always agitated, restless and balky? "If the Earth is not hollow, then why do the warm northerly winds mentioned above carry more dust than any wind on earth? "If no rivers are flowing from the inside to the outside, then why are all ice-bergs composed of fresh water? "Why does one find tropical seeds, plants and trees floating in the fresh water of these icebergs? "If not all the fresh water icebergs positively do not come from any place ON earth, as would be impossible unless we assume the existence of rivers flowing from the inside to the outside, then where do they come from? "If the inside of the Earth is not warm, why do millions of tropical birds and animals go further north in the winter time? "Why does the wind from the north carry more pollen and blossoms than any wind on the exterior? "If it is not hollow and warm inside the Earth, then why does colored pollen color the snow for thousands of square miles? "Could it be Fitch asks those who do not believe that the Earth is hollow, with openings at its poles, to answer the following questions:
