(9) SOUND:
In the Antarctic Regions even an ordinary pistol when it is fired sounds like the thunder of a big cannon, and an avalanche crumbles with the terrible rumble of a devastation. No such thing happens towards the North Pole. As Captain Hall the explorer says even a sound report of a gun can be heard with great difficulty, beyond only 20 feet. This fact requires investigation into the so called roundness of the earth. (10) CAPTAIN MILL:
An explorer Captain Mill by name has written in his Account of travels that-"In the Antarctic region human eye, sight can perceive at the most as far as 10 miles; whereas the records of the exp!orers of the North Pole tell us that in the North Pole Region human eyesight can perceive very easily as far as 200 miles.” This statement supports the asertion that the earth is not round. (11) THE LIGHTHOUSE AT HATTERAS:
As a rule things which emit lights can be seen from very long distances. The light-emitting point in the Cape of Hatt eras can be seen from even a far off distance of 40 miles.
If the earth is really round, as it is believed, the curve of the earth will stand in between and the lightemitting point will not be seen. If the earth is round, a curve of 900 feet covering the distance of 40 miles, will obstruct the path of the light; and so the light emitting point can be seen only if it is 900 feet above the sea level. Yet the light emitting point can be seen from the height of 300 feet. This is the cognizable evidence that the earth is not round.
