THE BEGINNING OF THINGS. 



gaseous form, it was necessary that it did fluctuate for 

 millions of years in space. Always portions of same 

 impinging against the colder portions of space. The 

 portions that impinged against the colder portions of 

 space cooling in conformity with the respective tem- 

 peratures of precipitation in relativity. The cold tend- 

 ing to condense the particles that would condense at 

 the highest temperature first. And each property fol- 

 lowing in conformity with its temperature of condensa- 

 tion in relativity. Cold always acting upon the prop- 

 erty that would tend to cohesion, or congeal at the 

 greatest temperature. 



These properties being on the outer boundaries of 

 the body of gases owing to the cold being more severe 

 in the outer portions. Consequently they began to form 

 around the body of gases within the center. The cen- 

 tral portion of the gaseous body being a burning mass, 

 and in consequence having to be fed. That is to say, the 

 flame having to have pabulum to keep up the fire. Con- 

 sequently the precipitating particles of matter out on 

 the cold borders condensing on the exterior cut away 

 the food from the flame. The flame having to have an 

 outlet to exist, and in consequence it became smothered 

 by the enwrapping particles. The particles on the ex- 

 terior, which were being congealed by the action of the 

 cold, were not only forced to settle to a zone in relativ- 

 ity conforming to the given temperature of precipita- 

 tion, but were acted on by cold obliquely, tending to 

 work off at a tangent. This power of the cold acting 

 obliquely on the particles forced the matter to begin
