GRAVITY. 



that cold tends to contract all matter; only exception in 

 the face of four degrees in the action of water, and in 

 that case it yet attracts all other matter while it ex- 

 pands in itself. Infinitely extended cold will be found 

 to exercise the same properties of contraction. 



One of the simplest observations in nature is the 

 tendency of heat to disperse all matter, and infinitely 

 extended it will manifest the same qualities. 



The heat of the sun by day upon a body of water 

 causes a separation of its particles, causing the same 

 when reduced to minute particles to assume the aerial 

 flight owing to least resistance. The same phenomenon 

 occurs when we throw a heavy stone into a tank of 

 water; the earth being too heavy to be displaced by the 

 jolt inflicted, it then becomes necessary for the water 

 to act along the lines of least resistance. Consequently 

 up to the air. 



The most convincing proof of cold being the true 

 and only gravity in fact, may be had by a test of any 

 gaseous substance. It will be found that the gas will 

 defy what we call worldly attraction, or what the 

 savants call universal gravity. But subject the gas 

 to a rigid test of cold, and you will be rewarded by its 

 obeying the real law. Add sufficient cold and you will 

 be rewarded not only by its being obeyed but in addi- 

 tion you may unite the gas into a solid. 



The scientific world has been hoodwinked for 

 hundreds of years by trying to prove all great questions 

 by mathematical computation. The scientists have 

 gone on figuring from a base and carrying a sum of
