Chapter 14 -- Hollow Earth Geophysics At this point it may be well to call attention to another feature in the river system. The water on the grindstone will give force to this suggestion. At a certain speed the water will tend to the outside of the stone; below speed required to do that, the tendency will be toward the center of the stone, or strictly toward the center of the Earth's motion. Now let us see what the river system says. Look on your maps and see about where the common divide occurs, which is seemingly not far from the 50th parallel, where centrifugal force is apparently not strong enough to carry the waters toward the Equator, and the principal waters flow toward Symmes's Hole. Look on your maps. The Insufficiency of Rainfall And while all this grand and complete arrangement supplies vegetation with its bathing and drinking, as said before, it has nothing to do with the living and lasting supply of our springs, lakes and rivers. They are fed from a never failing and almost unchanging source -- that is, by the immense supply taken in at the polar holes in a river over 4,000 miles wide at each end of the Earth's axis. Mountaintop Springs Within twenty rods of the top of Mount Washington, the highest peak in the New England States, flows out a copious spring of water. The whole mountain system is full of springs and lakes. The entire Adirondack region is in the same condition. It is safe to leave it to the reader who has ever been out of sight of the smoke of his own chimney to think of the abundance of instances where he has seen lakes and springs on the tops of high hills, where no shed water to any extent could reach them, and wonder how they came there. Artesian Wells on Plains Here is a subject that is worthy the attention of settlers in our arid and apparently desert regions of country. We are told that the source of an artesian well is from fountains of water gathered and stored in higher lands that run through different strata of rocks till they reach the valleys, and when the boring reaches down to these strata the water naturally comes up toward the height of the fountain it started from. Would it not be a sensible inquiry to make as to where the supply came from to furnish the water in the higher lands? That the accepted theory of supply to artesian wells comes from some higher point is not correct can be demonstrated on the prairies, where no higher land is in sight. The Symmes legacy seems unbounded. The man wasn't the first to imagine polar holes, but he the popularized the possibility. In the century following his 1818 "TO ALL THE WORLD," scores of dime novels -- of which we've listed many -- followed one fictional hero or another into the polar entrance. Fortunately, most escaped.

Chapter 14 -- Hollow Earth Geophysics Reynolds is also known for his May 1839 Knickerbocker Magazine piece, "Mocha Dick, or the White Whale of the Pacific" detailing the capture of a giant sperm whale infamous for attacking ships. The mammal was named after the Mocha Islands where it was sighted. "Dick" was a common male name. Herman Melville (1819-1891) plagiarized the theme in his 1851 novel. Melville, in turn, has been linked to hollow-earth lore by his manuscript Symmes’ Holes (1876), a recent printing shown to the right. It may be a Penguin Classic, but unfortunately the work's a forgery. Henry David Thoreau (1817-1872) cited Symmes in Walden (1854). It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar. Yet do this even till you can do better, and you may perhaps find some "Symmes' Hole" by which to get at the inside at last. Cyrus Read Teed (1839 -1908), an “electro-alchemist” from Utica, New York, saw the "geocosmos" differently. According to Teed’s Cellular Cosmogony (1870), the earth is a hollow sphere and we dwell on the inner side. Our heads point toward the center where the sun, half dark and half light, rotates to create the appearance of sunset and sunrise. "Gravic rays" emanating from the sun hold us onto the crust. The universe that we "see in the sky" is cradled "in the hands of God." The earth shell consists of 17 layers of which the outermost seven are metallic, the golden layer having the greatest radius. The next five layers are mineral and the remaining are geologic strata. Within the earth shell are three atmosphere shells: air, hydrogen, and "aboron" which prevent us from seeing across. In summary, "To know of the earth's concavity is to know God." After an 1869 "illumination" in which it was revelation that he was the incarnation of Christ, Teed changed his name to Koresh, established “Koreshenity” and established a utopian commune Florida. Teed and followers organized the Koreshen Geodetic Survey and conducted an experiment to prove the earth’s concavity.
