EARTHQUAKES. 



ticular zone bears upon a particular zone- or belt 

 around the earth. In consequence, when the power 

 propelling around a certain belt around the earth has 

 been cut off, it tends to pull and drag on the belt around 

 the surface of the earth. The quake always appar- 

 ently dragging from one direction toward another 

 tends to prove that it is the loss of the power in that 

 quarter that causes the pulling toward the source of 

 lost power of propulsion. The loss of a lifting power 

 in a particular place will cause the subsidence in that 

 particular direction where the lift is required, and that 

 is where the pulling comes in in the case of the quake. 



Observations have proven that the sun has a zone 

 where the sun spots occur and in that zone only they 

 are observed. The earth having a zone of earthquake 

 susceptibility, backed up by not only modern observa- 

 tions but history of the past ages reveal the same suscep- 

 tibilities. The fact of the zone on the sun tends to show 

 that the zone has connection with a particular zone on 

 the surface of the earth. Granting that it does, it adds 

 to the proof that the sun lifts, or tends to separation,, 

 and its power being denied in the premises, it causes 

 a falling toward the place of denied power on the part 

 of the particles of matter that make up the earth's 

 surface. 



In proof of a power being denied the earth in pro- 

 pelling in its revolution, we must get back to the actual 

 daily observations and see what heat does when applied 

 to matter of any sort. Does heat expand \vhen applied 

 to matter? Does it reduce particles of matter of all
