Who
can
say
,
that
at
this
period
,
the
equatorial
regions
will
not
be
too
small
,
to
contain
and
nourish
terrestrial
humanity
?
Now
,
may
not
provident
nature
,
so
as
to
give
refuge
to
all
the
vegetable
and
animal
emigration
,
be
at
present
laying
the
foundation
of
a
new
continent
under
the
Equator
,
and
may
she
not
have
entrusted
these
insects
with
the
construction
of
it
?
I
have
often
thought
of
all
these
things
,
my
friends
,
and
I
seriously
believe
that
the
aspect
of
our
globe
will
some
day
be
completely
changed
;
that
by
the
raising
of
new
continents
the
sea
will
cover
the
old
,
and
that
,
in
future
ages
,
a
Columbus
will
go
to
discover
the
islands
of
Chimborazo
,
of
the
Himalayas
,
or
of
Mont
Blanc
,
remains
of
a
submerged
America
,
Asia
,
and
Europe
.
Then
these
new
continents
will
become
,
in
their
turn
,
uninhabitable
;
heat
will
die
away
,
as
does
the
heat
from
a
body
when
the
soul
has
left
it
;
and
life
will
disappear
from
the
globe
,
if
not
for
ever
,
at
least
for
a
period
.
Perhaps
then
,
our
spheroid
will
rest
--
will
be
left
to
death
--
to
revive
some
day
under
superior
conditions
!
But
all
that
,
my
friends
,
is
the
secret
of
the
Author
of
all
things
;
and
beginning
by
the
work
of
the
insects
,
I
have
perhaps
let
myself
be
carried
too
far
,
in
investigating
the
secrets
of
the
future
.
"
My
dear
Cyrus
,
"
replied
Spilett
,
"
these
theories
are
prophecies
to
me
,
and
they
will
be
accomplished
some
day
.
"
"
That
is
the
secret
of
God
,
"
said
the
engineer
.
"
All
that
is
well
and
good
,
"
then
said
Pencroft
,
who
had
listened
with
all
his
might
,
"
but
will
you
tell
me
,
captain
,
if
Lincoln
Island
has
been
made
by
your
insects
?
"
"
No
,
"
replied
Harding
;
"
it
is
of
a
purely
volcanic
origin
.
"
"
Then
it
will
disappear
some
day
?
"
"
That
is
probable
.
"
I
hope
we
wo
n't
be
here
then
.
"
"
No
,
do
n't
be
uneasy
,
Pencroft
;
we
shall
not
be
here
then
,
as
we
have
no
wish
to
die
here
,
and
hope
to
get
away
some
time
.
"
"
In
the
meantime
,
"
replied
Gideon
Spilett
,
"
let
us
establish
ourselves
here
as
if
forever
.
There
is
no
use
in
doing
things
by
halves
.
"
