HEAT AND COLD. 



revolving on the exterior; and the revolving power, 

 when once in motion, was accelerated by the cold dur- 

 ing each revolution. Thereby we find the earliest 

 movements in the particles that formed the planet 

 brought about by the cold. 



The condensing process continuing until it cut of! 

 the chance of escape of the burning particles within the 

 center of the globular mass. The central portion being 

 on fire, necessitated the chance of escape of the burned 

 particles of gases in the form of sunlight or light. The 

 cutting off of same tended to smother the gaseous nu- 

 cleus, by the burning out of the gases before the final 

 smothering of the flame. Thereby we have traced our 

 planet down to the shell of condensing matter around a 

 gaseous nucleus of great size, and minute attenuity. 



Having imprisoned the gases in the center of the 

 property in nature admitting of solidity at the highest 

 temperature. Now our study will be the precipitation 

 of the properties that could not possibly be precipi- 

 tated at the given temperature of the first crust that 

 imprisoned the gases. All other properties having a 

 temperature of precipitation beyond the first crust 

 could not be precipitated at the time of the forming 

 crust, because the heat that would admit of precipita- 

 tion of that one property would drive the properties of 

 a more volatile character far off in the heavens. And 

 they each would have to await in suspension until the 

 body cooled sufficiently to admit of precipitation, with- 

 in their respective temperatures of condensation.
