THE BEGINNING OF THINGS. 



it necessitates the consideration of portions of planet 

 exposed to the greatest extremes in cold during the 

 revolution away from the sun or driving power. 



In other words, topographical conditions as ex- 

 posed to us to-day when undisturbed are our best monu- 

 ments of past actions in the cooling process; that is to 

 say, when not broken by the outside jolt. 



High mountains tend to prove that the underlying 

 strata was cooled at an earlier age in worldly history, 

 causing the piling up of immense mountains of matter 

 owing to having the cooling period earlier in each 

 particular property of matter. Of course to be con- 

 sidered when undisturbed by the jolt from outside 

 forces. The primary cause of mountains being the cool- 

 ing of crust in the particular portions of surface. The 

 cooling of crust necessitating the precipitation of mat- 

 ter being held in the volatile form in conformity with 

 respective temperatures of precipitation. The further 

 precipitation causing a cooling to hasten in the prem- 

 ises owing to the thickness of same or distance from heat 

 below crust, and the deposit of each succeeding layer 

 of the properties of matter upon the crust at the given 

 point in the cooling process occasioned another precipi- 

 tation of property of a lower precipitating temperature 

 in worldly properties. And so on down the order of 

 the properties of matter in relativity until the age of 

 organic properties, or the age of life as we know it in 

 the form of animal and vegetable. 



The organic properties that came into existence dur- 

 ing the precipitation on the forming mountains being
