as represented by the line A C, a distance of some four or

five thousand miles ! If our friends claim the ability to see
through either land or water for four or five thousand miles,
or to see the sun when below their horizon some thousands
of miles, as represented by the dip from L to C, th en I
will yield, and confess th at the southern m idnight sun could
be seen from the position assigned upon a globe. B ut if not
and notw ithstanding the tem erity of the astronom ers in

we hardly think they will claim this ability then, if not, I
claim the fact th at the m idnight sun has been seen in ex

T hus we have so far answered our friends defiant query,

and shown the globularist what we can do with this fact.
A nd in the sam e way it can be proved th at it would be im
possible to see th e northern m idnight sun at G, from the
p oint K, if th e earth was a globe.
B ut as the w riter gave
this proof some years ago in a pam phlet entitled T h e M id

R eview , the reader is referred to it for the elaboration of this
splendid proof th at the earth is an extended plane.
If our friend at the antipodes, or if any of our astronom
ical friends, or foes, will deal with the dem onstrated fact th at
the surface of still w ater is level, absolutely level, we will,
God willing, deal further with this last reported fact of the
S outhern M idnight Sun, and offer an explanation of the
sam e on purely Z etetic lines.

T h e above is th e title of an interesting book by P aul B, D u

Cliaillu, in which he describes his journeys through N orway and
Sweden, L apland and N orthern Finland.
In this book the writer
unconsciously gives us proof th a t th e earth is n ot a revolving globe
such as the A stronom ers teach, although of course he tries to explain
the phenom enon of th e m idnight sun in harm ony with the astronom ical
theories he w>as taught a t school. W hile we have no space here for
these theories we shall try to find room for the facts brought before us ;
then we shall proceed to shew how these facts conflict with th e globeearth doctrine, an d how they harm onise with th e tru th th at the earth is
a m otionless plane, with sun revolving daily above and around the
N orth Centre, com m only but erroneously called th e north pole.
In his preface M. D u Chaillu says ; T h e tid e of the book is
derived from one of th e m ost striking p henom ena , in the n orth of the
country, and one which I w itnessed with w onder and adm iration on
many occasions. In chapter v. h e states how, between the 13th and
the 18th of June, h e sailed towards the m idnight s u n in a steam er
leaving Stockholm for H aparanda, the m ost northerly town in
Sweden, on or near th e right bank of th e picturesque T o rn e river."
The passage lasting about th ree days ; while, he says, T h e Bothnia
was not yet free from ice. H e proceeds to describe

The Jo u rn ey .

i"

As the voyage drew to a close, an d we approached the u p p e r

en d of the G ulf of Bothnia the twilight had disappeared, and between
the setting and rising of the sun hardly one hour elapsed.
H ap aran d a is in 65 51' N lat., an d forty-one miles so u th of the
arctic circle. It is 1 18' farther north than A rchangel, an d in the
sam e latitude as th e m ost northern part o f Iceland. T h e sun rises on
th e 2 ts t of Ju n e at 12.o t a.m., an d sets at 11.37 p.m. From the 22nd
to the 25th of Ju n e the traveller may enjoy th e sight of the midnight
sun from Avasaxa, a hill six hundred an d eighty feet high, an d about
forty-five miles distant, on the o th er side of the stream ; an d should he
be a few days later, by driving north on the high road he may still have
the opportunity of seeing it.
This intrepid explorer then describes his journey overland from
H ap aran d a to the A rctic sea, the distance as the crow flies being over
S of latitude to th e most northern extrem ity of the lan d , b ut by the
route about 500 miles. T h e country is inhabited by Finns, who are
cultivators o f the soil. T h e L aplanders roam over the land with their
herds of reindeer. T h e sum m er clim ate is delightful, an d during the
period o f continuous daylight one can travel all night if he pleases.

S tr a n g e N ig h ts.
Speaking o f a station called Pajala, M. Chaillu says ; F rom the
high hills on th e other side of th e stream at this place one may enjoy
the sight o f th e m idnight sun a few days later. H ow strange are those
evening an d m orning twilights w hich m erge insensibly into each o th e r !
to travel in a country where there is no night, and no stars to be seen ;
where the m oon gives no light, and, going further north, where th e sun
shines continuously day after day ! T h e stranger at first does not know
w hen to go to bed an d when to r is e ; b ut th e people know the hours of
rest by their clocks an d watches, an d by looking at the sun.
W e may m ention that at R anea, which skirts the Baltic, M. Du
Chaillu was told they had snow on the ground so late as the 2nd of
Ju n e, after a winter during which th e therm om eter had fallen to 40
an d 45 below zero ; yet at the tim e o f his visit he saw garden peas
about two inches above th e ground which would be fit for the table
a t the end o f A ugust or the beginning o f S eptem ber. R eferring again
to P ajala he says ; In these latitudes th e snow has hardly melted
when the m osquitoes appear in countless m ultitudes, an d the people
have no rest night or day. T h e traveller is surprised to m eet so
many com fortable farms, with large dwelling houses, which with the
barn and cow-house are the three prom inent dwellings.

Betw een the stations of Kunsijiirvi and Ruokojarvi

means
lake in F innish) we crossed the A rctic circle a t 66 32' N, or 1,408
geographical miles (?) south from the pole, where the sun shines for an
entire day on the 22nd of June, an d th e observer will see it above the
horizon at m idnight, and due north. After th at date, by journeying
north on an average o f about ten miles a day he would continue to see
the m idnight sun till he reached th e pole. O n the 22nd of Septem ber
the sim descends to the horizon, where it will rest, so to speak, all day
long ; on the following day it disappears till the 22nd of M arch.
W hen returning southw ards at the sam e rate th e traveller^ will
continue to see th e m idnight sun in his horizon till he reaches the
A r c t i c Circle, where for one day only, as we have seen, the Sun is
visible.

T h e S u n s IVlotion.
F u rth er quoting from these interesting travels we read ; T h e
sun at m idnight is always north o f the observer, on account of the
position of the earth (?) I t .se e m .s t o t r a v e l a r o u n d i n a c i r c l e ,
requiring twenty-four hours for its com pletion, it being noon when it
reaches th e greatest elevation, and m idnight at th e lowest. Its ascent
and descent are so im perceptible at the pole, and th e variations so
slight, th at it sinks south very slowly, and its disappearance below the
horizon is alm ost im m ediately followed by its reappearance.
After giving the m odern astronom ical explanation of these
northern phenom ena, an explanation founded on half-a-dozen unproved
and unprovable assum ptions, the writer naively and unconsciously owns
that appearances are against these assum ptions. H e proceeds ; T h e
nearer any point is to the pole the longer during this tim e (from the
vernal to the autum nal equinox) is its day. T h e num ber of days,
therefore, of constant sunshine depends on the latitude of the o b se rv e r;
and the farther north he finds him self the greater will be this num ber.
Thus at the pole (the north centre ?) the sun is seen for six m onths ;
at the arctic circle for one (whole) day ; and at th e base of the N orth
Cape from the 15th of M ay to th e is t of August. At the pole the

observer seems to be in the centre o f a

T hus we see, th a t in spite of educational bias and N ewtonian

belief, the tru th will unconsciously and innocently crop up in any
description which is true to the facts of N ature. B ut before we criticise
these phenom ena further we prefer first to give all the facts which the
interesting writer of The L and o f the M idnight Sun has so carefully
gleaned for us. H e goes on to describe

H o w t h e S u n Is s e e n .
We have liere spoken as if the observer were on a level with the
horizon ; but should he clim b a m ountain, the stui o f course w ill appear
higher ; and should he, instead of travelling fifteen miles north, climb
about 220 feet above the sea level (I) each day, he would see it the same
as if he had gone north ; consequently if he stood at the-arctic circle at
that elevation, and had an unobstructed view o f the horizon, he would
see th e sun one day sooner. H ence tourists from H ap aran d a prefer
going to Avasaxa, a hill 680 feet above th e sea, from which, though
eight or ten miles south of the arctic circle, they can see the midnight
SLin for three days.
T here are days when the sun has a pale whitish appearance, and
w hen even it can be looked at for six or seven hours before midnight,
As this hour approaches the sun becom es less glaring, gradually
changing into m ore brilliant shades as it dips towards the lowest point
of its course. I t . s m o t i o n is very slow, and for quite awhile it appar
ently follows
//w
during which there seems to be a
pause, as when the sun reaches noon. T his is m idnight. F or a few
m inutes the glow o f sunset mingles with that of sunrise, and one cannot
tell which prevails ; but soon the light becom es slowly an d gradually
m ore brilliant, announcing the birth of another day and often before
an hour has elapsed the sun becom es so dazzling that one cannot look
at i't with the naked eye.

Again, ascending the river M uonio, on the last day of June, M.
D ll
Chaillu says ; I came to Kicksisvaara, the first boat station
situated on a hill com m anding a fine view of the country, and over
looking the river M uonio. T h e people were all asleep as it was mid
night ; the sun had becom e paler and paler, its golden glow shedding a
drowsy quiet light over all the landscape, an d a heavy dew was falling ;
the house-swallows had gone to their nests, the cuckoo was silent, and
the sparrows could not be heard. H ow beautiful was the hour of
m idnight ! H ow red an d gorgeous was the sun ! H ow drowsy was
the la n d sca p e; N ature seem ed asleep in the midst of sunshine. Crystal
dew-drops glittered like precious stones as they hung from the blades of
grass, the petals of wild flowers, and th e leaves o f the birch trees.
Before two oclock the swallows were out of their nests, which they
had constructed on the different buildings of the farm. H ow far they
had com e to enjoy the spring of this rem ote region ! I did not wonder
that they loved that beautiful but short summ er, or th at they came year
after year to the L and of the M idnight Sun.

M IDNIGHT

SUN,

N o rth .

At a short distance from latitude 70, near a place called Wind, on

,he banks of the Alten, a few miles from the sea, our traveller and
writer says ; I could hardly believe I was so far north, the birds were
so num erous. N ear this place at Bosekop he found a .^village of
scattered farms, with a church, a school, several stores, and a comfo r la b le inn.
Bosekop is the seat of a fair, an d in winter is a place
o f great resort for the L aplanders ; court is also held here.
H ere too
he met with a small society of educated people, with whom he spent
a pleasant evening, an d had a game of T sg. H e says ; I liked the
g a m e amazingly ; at 11 p.m., the sun shining brightly, they bade me
good night, and went to their homes, leaving me full of adm iration at
their simplicity, innocence, an d gentle m anners. T here also, in 70^
of north latitude, in th e quiet parlour of the hotel at Bosekop, he
delivered a lecture, by request, on his travels in the E quatorial regions
of Africa !
O f the A lten Fjord he says ; T here is no part of our globe (I)
where vegetation is so thriving at so high a latitude as on the Alten
Fjord. H e m ight have said that there is nothing at all like it in equal
latitudes south \ How is this pray
N ear Bosekop, rhubarb, barley,
oats, rye, turnips, an d potatoes grow well, also carrots, strawberries,
currants and peas. T h e therm om eter sometim es rises to
wannest tem perature during my stay being 63 in the shade, the coolest

hills the m idnight sun can be seen as late in the season as on N orth
Cape, b ut the scenery is not so impressive.

A F a r e w e l l V ie w .
But we m ust conclude, for the present, with a brief description of
the final view, from the island of Mageroe, the m ost northern land in
Europe. T h e north Cape is its northern e.Ktremity. On the 20th of
July, M. Du Chaillu hired a boat and landed on the island.

After a walk of several miles I stood upon the extreme
point of N orth Cape, in latitude 71 10', nine hundred an d eighty feet
above the sea-level. Sea level. (H ear, hear !). Before me, as far
as the eye could reach, was the deep blue A rctic Sea, disappearing in
the northern horizon. W herever I gazed, I beheld N ature bleak,
dreary, desolate ; grand indeed, b u t sad. A sad repose rested upon the
desolate landscape, which has left an indelible impress upon my
memory.
Lower and lower the sun sank, and as the hour of m idnight
approached, it seem ed for awhile to follow slowly the line o f the horizon;
and at th at hour it shone beautifully over that lovely sea an d dreary land.

THE

As it disappeared, behind th e clouds, I exclaim ed from the very brink

of the precipice, Farewell to th e M idnight Sun.

THE M ID N IG H T

SUN,

T H E E A R T H AS A CLOHE.

I had now seen the m idnight sun from m ountain tops and weird
plateaus, shining over a barren, desolate, an d snow-clad country ; I lia(j
watched it when ascending or descending picturesque rivers, or crossing
lonely la k e s ; I had beheld m any a landscape, luxuriant fields, verdant
meadows, g rand old forests, dyed by its drowsy lig h t; I h ad follow ed it
from the Gulf of B othnia to the P olar sea as a boy would chase a will,
o -the-wisp, an d I could go n o further.
I now retraced my steps to where we had left our little boat. The
m en were w atching for u s ; it had begun to rain, and when we got back
to Gjcesver I was wet and chilly, an d my feet were like ice. I was ex
hausted, for I h ad passed two-and-twenty hours w ithout sleep, but to
this day I have before me those dark rugged cliffs, th at dreary silent
landscape, th a t restless .Arctic Sea, an d th at serene m idnight sun shin
ing OVER ALL ; and I still hear the sad m urm ur of the waves beating
upon th e lovely N orth C ape.

P r o o f t h a t t h e E a r t h is n o t a G l o b e ,
H aving given the facts connected with this interesting enquiry, we
now proceed to show how those facts utterly conflict with the globular
theory, and how beautifully they harm onise with the plane-earth truth.
T o do this effectually we m ust have recourse to diagrams. As these
increase th e cost of printing we hope our friends will m ake it up by
doing what they can to increase the circulation of our paper. We
willingly give our services, b u t we can n o t expect th e printers to do so.
AVe will now refer to diagram i, which represents the sea-earth world
according to the globular theory.
L et A C B D represent th e globe, rotating upon its axis A 1].
(see next page). T h e line C D will represent th e circle of th e equator
midway between the poles A an d B.
T h e line F G will shew th e position of th e tropic of C ancer said to
be 23^ north of the equator, which is the highest north declination the
sun attains on or ab o u t m idsum m er day, Ju n e 24th. L et P represent
the position of the sun directly vertical over this tropical line at this
period. In this position it would be mid-day on the side of the earth
next the sun along the m eridian L F N ; an d it would be m idnight on
the opposite side along the m eridian M D O.
L et L.M . represent the A rctic Circle said to be 23^ from the North
Pole A, or about 66^ of north latitude ; which latitude, or ciicle,
runs across the northern parts of Norway and Sweden or Scandinavia.

IMOw we are creaioiy inrcrm ea uy [raveneis uiat lu uua lam uuc, cuju
at or about th e above m entioned date, a spectator at M can see the
sun at midnight, above the horizon, looking directly over the north
pole in the direction M Q . T h e horizon is a straight line tangential
to th e surface of the sphere at the point of observation, an d it must
therefore be placed at right angles to th e dotted line E M running from
the centre o f the sphere to th e latitu d e an d position o f th e observer.
But we have already alluded to th e fact th at the sun is never seen
directly over any part of the earth north of the tropic of Cancer ; that
is, th e sun is never m ore than 23^ north o f th e equator. Persons living
further north than this have always to look in a southerly direction for
the sun at noon ; an d it ought therefore never to be seen to the north
of them at any time, so we m ust place the sun in the diagram som e
where on the line P F G. Let it be placed at any point P. Now it is
m anifest that for an observer at M, near the latitude of H aparanda, to
see the sun at m idnight at P, over the tropic at Cancer, he would have
to look downwards and be able to see right t h r o u g h t h e (.lo h e
for about five or six thousand miles along the dotted line M R ! !
I am
not aware of any traveller who claims this ability ; n o r yet that the

I am not aware that any spectator of the phenom enon o f the midnightsun has to look do^on at all upon this gorgeous spectacle. T h e traveller
sees it above his horizon, and the higher he ascends the higher the sun
is seen. T herefore the earth cannot be a ^lobc , an d thus the m idnight
sun is a splendid and periodic witness to the fallacy of this absurd u n
scientific and infidel hypothesis.

needed.

We are well aware of the further assum ptions the astronom ers make
to get over these difficulties ; and we are quite prepared to m eet them
when occasion requires. T hey have first to rem ove the sun millions
of miles from where we know an d can see that he is ; an d then they have
to assume that he is millions of tim es larger than he is. In fact assum p
tions vitiate their whole system.
For the m idnight sun to be seen, as it
is, by a spectator at the point M looking directly over the north pole,
it would have to be placed somewhere on orabo%;e, the line M Q, say at Q.
T h e further off the sun is placed from the globe and the greater diverg
ence there would be between its proper place at Q, above the northern
horizon, and its hypothetical position at P. I f the spectator could look
right through the earth and sea the sun ought to be found on th e line
G F P to satisfy the conditions o f the globular theory ; but as a m atter of
fact it is found many thousands (and according to astronom ical ideas
many millions) of miles north and away from where it ou^/it to be. I
fear that the sun has not yet been converted to the N ew tonian way of
thinking or of acting. Its course of conduct is rather inconsistent with
m odern scientific b e lie f-and there are philosophical creeds as well
as religious b eliefs an d it is very well known that the behaviour of
the moon is even more outrageous, considered from an astronom ical
point of view. T here may be some little excuse for the moon in her
wayward wanderings, considering her changeable character an d the se.x
generally applied to her ; but surely the suii ought to keep his place
better with respect to the globe than to go out at nights staring at
travellers nearly at the north pole. But perhaps, if they could only
see it, he is staring with astonishm ent at som e of their unphilosophical
ideas ; and if their * scicntific consciences be not utterly seared he
m ust stare them out of all countenance with such ideas.
T here must be som ething sadly wrong somew/ure, for both luminaries
regularly to shew their smiling faces in positions both when and where
they ought never to be seen. H ow is it ? Perhaps gravitation gets
a bit slack at times, and kindly allows them these little excursions !
However, we pianists have no need to com plain, although it rather
frets the A stronom ers. Why should the sun not visit the north pole, and
m ake a considerable stay there too, for the benefit of .Arctic explorers ?
B ut here is the strange part of the question. Why is he, and why are
they, so partial to the twrih p o le ? Why n ot try the south sometimes
in the same way ? It seems rath er strange : does it not ? Very I How
is it th a t vegetation, flowers, fruits, birds, anim als, men, civilization,
&c. cannot be found so far south as they can north ? T h e Plane truth
explains it. H ow ever we will now proceed to show how simply the
phenom enon of the M idnight Sun can be explained in harm ony with the

truth th at the earth is a vast o utstretched and m otionless plane with the
sun circling above it in a spiral orbit around the N orth Centre.

T h e earth an d sea together form a vast circular plane. T h e surface of

standing water has been abundantly proved to be leiiel. We cannot
repeat the evidence h e r e ; b ut those who want it may find th e evidence
given in an excellent book by Parallax (Dr. Birley) which has never
yet been answered. T his book though out of print at present may be
reprinted before long, or as soon as the necessary m eans are available.
Oh ! Is there no one with sufficient means, a 7td sufficient love o f the truth,
to do him self so great an honour and the truth so great a service ?
(But sec a letter in the April num ber of the E arth Review.) However,

THE

SUN.

THE

D e g r e e s .
Now a glance at this diagram will reveal another very popular
fallacy in connection with this subject.
T here cannot be ninety
degrees of the ordinary geographical extent, between any point on
the equator and the north centre. T h e num ber and th e length of
degrees of latitude north an d south of the equator have been cal
culated on the assumption that the earth is a globe. But as the
le v e l of the surface of the sea proves the earth to be a plane these
degrees are so far misleading. I f we allow 360 degrees for the
equatorial circle E F G H , there would only be about 1144
degrees in its diam eter say from E to G, or F to H ; an d only about
S 7 j of such degrees in its radius, or from th e equator to the so-called
pole, or N orth Centre. So th at if we take all the degrees as equal,
the distance from any point G, on the equator, to the N orth C entre, N,
instead of being 6,250 miles, or one quarter of a m eridional circle of
25,000 miles in circum ference, as the astronom ers assume, it would
really be only about 3980, or a little u nder 4,000 miles. W e should
have to substract about one-third. B ut m ore about this degree
delusion another tim e. See E arih Review for April, 1893.

THE

SU N S SP IR A L

PA TH .

Now when th e sun is on or over the equator, say at the point G, it is

acknow ledged that its light extends to the N orth Centre, at the point N.

Therefore the distance G N represents the distance which th e suns rays

can pierce through our atm ostphere, in a northerly or southerly direction,
so as to show the full body of the sun to an observer north or south.
H ence when the sun is on the tropic o f Capricorn in our mid-winter,
say at the point L, its direct rays cannot be seen beyond the point V
in the A rctic Circle V W S T . H ence all who live within the A rctic Circle
at this season of the year are in darkness as far as the suns direct rays
are concerned, the distance L V being the sam e as the distance G N.
B ut when the suns daily circular path has contracted towards th e north
so as to bring that luminary to th e point R in the tropic o f C ancer at
our midsummer, then it is evident his rays m ust shine right across the
whole A rctic Circle from R to S, the distance again being the same as
that from G to N.

A P la in P ro o f.
So th a t if the earth be a plane with the sun moving over it as already
described, a spectator on or near the A rctic Circle at the point S ought
to see the sun at m idnight at the point R as he looks over and across
the N orth Centre. But this is just what the spectator in such a position
does see according to the abundant evidence already adduced. T h ere
fore the earth is again clearly and abundantly p r o v e d t o b e a p l.- v n e .

It

In such a position on a plane the spectator although in a high northern

latitude, m ust necessarily look still further north to see th e sun at m id
night as he circles round the N orth C entre ; but on a globe, as we have
already seen, w here the body of the sun never attains more than 23^
north declination, a spectator in such a position, 6 6 ^ north latitude,
would, (if he could see the sun at all) be com pelled to look downwards
through the globe and in a southerly direction. T his cannot b e
<lone, an d if it could the sun would n o t be found th e r e ; therefore
again the earth is n ot a globe.

A F a ith fu l W itn e ss.

T hus the sun in his m ovem ents becom es a grand and solem n witness
to the truth of G od and a stationary an d outstretched earth. As M.
C haillu. in spite o f his astronom ical education an d bias, is constrained
honestly to confess th at it seem s to be the sun an d not the earth which
revolves. H e says I t, tlie sun, seems to travel around in a circle, re
quiring twenty-four hours for its com pletion. H ear, hear ! A nd since by
plane triangulation th e sun can be proved to be a com paratively small
sm all body and n ot more than three thousand miles away, we need not
wonder at this
It is surprising how near the truth our A rctic explorer
comes when, forgetting his astronom y, he sim ply an d honestly describes
th e phenom ena he witnessed. H e further s a y s ; At the pole the
observer seems to be in a g r a n d s p i r a l m o v e m e n t o f t h e , s u n , which
further south takes place north of him . Well d one M. Chaillu! VVe
thank you for your honest an d noble testimony. I t agrees with that of
th e inspired Psalm ist when he s a id ; T h e heavens declare the glory of
Ood ; an d th e firm am ent sheweth his handyw ork In them hath H e
set a tabenacle for the s u n which is as a bridgegroom com ing out of
his cham ber, and rejoiceth as a strong man t o r u n a r a c e . H is going
fo rth is from the end of heaven and m s c i r c u i t ' unto th e ends of it,
a n d there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Psa. 19 : 6.
L et us then, in conclusion, again unite with the Psalm ist, in his song
o f Praise
T o H im that by his wisdom m ade the heavens j for H is
M ercy endureth for ever.
T o H im that s t r e t c h e d o u t the earth
above the w aters; for H is m ercy endureth for ever. T o H im who m ade
great lights-/iox his M ercy en dureth for ever. T h e sun to rule by day ;
fo r H is M ercy endureth for ever. T h e m oon and the stars (all lights
only) to rule by n ig h t; for H is M ercy endureth for ever. Psa. 136 :
