HEAT AND COLD. 



Also tending to show that the earth is formed 

 around a gaseous center, or the impact would not have 

 broken such great amount of its crust, but would have 

 detached a portion instead if the body was solid. 



The earth's history is neatly written in the folds of 

 its crust, and in the voluminous library we can find the 

 hour marks of the buried ages. All it requires is reason 

 and deduction from the processes manifest in nature 

 in carrying on its building and unbuilding as observed 

 daily beneath the gaze of all mankind. 



All the occurrences that mark the pages of the 

 earth's volumes will surrender truth, when questioned 

 in the language of heat and cold as observed daily by 

 all mankind. It requires no savant, but instead sim- 

 plicity and utter disregard for the abstract, while ques- 

 tioning. We need not grant to heat or cold any mys- 

 terious powers, but instead the simplest we observe in 

 our daily observations, to get the results. 



Heat and cold are the forces, and matter becomes 

 plastic when subjected to their wiles. 



We must bow to facts by observing the simplest 

 things in nature, instead of groping off in the shadows, 

 looking for a supernatural who reveals, or an effort of 

 the imagination trying to account without law or or- 

 der for the beginning of things. 



Supernatural was a means born of ignorance of 

 surroundings; where the party could not account for 

 a phenomenon, it had to have some means of coming 

 about, and consequently it had to have a maker, who 

 was more powerful than the being making the inquiry.
