Dear friend, in closed you will find some portions of the diary it has been my lifelong custom to keep arranged in such a manner as to narrate connectedly the history of some remarkable occurrences that have taken place here during the last three years.

Years and years ago I heard vague accounts of a strange lake high up in an almost inaccessible part of the mountains of Wyoming.

beds of stone.

And he who casts hook and line into the dusky waters may haul forth ganoid fishes completely covered with bony plates.

All of this is described in the account written by Father Lometri years ago, and he there advances

the theory that the earth is hollow, and that its interior is inhabited by the forms of plant and animal life which disappeared from its surface ages ago, and that the lake connects with this interior region.

Sim's theory of polar orifices is well known to you.

It is amply corroborated.

I know that it is true now.

Through the great holes at the poles, the sun sends light and

heat into the interior.

Through the great holes at the poles, the sun controls, the console, that heat up all the ancient tadpoles, swimming in the earth like
