PACIFIC GEOLOGY
KEY TO MANY PROBLEMS By Caole.—Press Association.—Copyright NEW YORK, Wednesday. Mr. E. C. Andrews, the New South Wales Government geologist, who is delivering the Stillman course of lectures at Yale University, advanced the theory that the islands of the Pacific and the Continental areas surrounding It will furnish the key to many of the major problems of geological science. Men are uncertain of the nature of the great Pacific region because of its majesty. Mr. Andrews prefers to consider it as a group of unrelated fragments rather than as a great structural unity. All the men, women and children in the world could be placed in a box made in the form of a cube with its edge one mile in length, and even then they would occupy only about onethirtieth of that space', said Mr. Andrews, whereas the Pacific Ocean proper exceeds 160,000,000 cubic miles in volume. —A. and N.Z.
