In 1885, in Baltimore, he published a hundred proofs that the Earth is not a Globe. Carpenter argued that: - "There are rivers that flow hundreds of thousand miles above sea level without falling more than a few feet, including the Nile, which, in a thousand, falls only one foot. With the idea of the convexity of the Earth, it is therefore reasonable proof that the Earth is not a globe. " - "If the Earth were a terrestrial globe, a small model globe would be the best - for the truest - for the navigator to go to sea. But such a thing is not known: with such a toy as a guide, the sailor would ruin his ship, with certainty! this is a proof that the Earth is not a globe. "
