VOYAGE OF THE EARTH. 



cipitated by the action of cold, the earth sinks nearer 

 to the sun owing to the sun's heat that would otherwise 

 be utilized in driving the earth away being trans- 

 formed into its equivalent of work. The sun's driving 

 power being transformed into an equivalent of work 

 as a transporting agency, carrying the dispersed mat- 

 ter from south to north; consequently the earth must 

 of necessity sink nearer to the sun during this period 

 of the year. 



The varying winds during this period of the year 

 in the north are brought about by the diagonally ef- 

 fective power of the sun's rays with regard to this par- 

 ticular portion of the planet. The rays being effective 

 only diagonally then it is nothing more than natural 

 that the cold from transverse directions would bear in 

 on the lines of force generated by the propelling rays. 



During this period of the year the sun bearing 

 along the line of the equator aided by the cooling ac- 

 tion in the absence of the sun shining carry on the revo- 

 lution of the earth on its axis as before mentioned in 

 this work. 



When the earth has leaned so as to expose a great 

 deal of land owing to carrying great weight in the north 

 then the sun becomes effective on the land of northern 

 regions as the earth continues to sink while being 

 driven diagonally by the action of the rays of propul- 

 sion upon the land. The sun acting on the land be- 

 gins to drive the body as a whole in a diagonally effect- 

 ive way, while yet the planet sinks toward the south, 

 owing to not having the sun acting directly against the
