erties which are in suspension to unite in the given tem- 

 perature and hence life. The mineral properties mak- 

 ing up a portion of the organism having been precipi- 

 tated at a greater temperature, but having chemical 

 affinity for the other properties in suspension cause same 

 to unite in the temperature of germination. 



When the life giving temperature was present up- 

 on the face of the earth it became productive on differ- 

 ent portions at the same time, owing to the revolution of 

 the body in space, and the additional zones around the 

 planet, to be further varied by the topographical con- 

 ditions, periods remaining constant after germination in 

 portion of the earth longer than others. And in con- 

 sequence different forms of life. Places near the poles 

 denied the action of the sun must have brought into 

 existence the earliest form of life, owing to having ar- 

 rived at the temperature in advance of other portions. 

 Further, portions of the planet situated near the poles, 

 or at the poles, must have brought into existence animal 

 life of the order that has a short period of incubation, 

 owing to having a short period of constant temperature 

 in the cooling process. 



At the poles, the earth had but one influence at 

 work in the cooling process, and that being radiation of 

 the heat into space; in consequence, the period of con- 

 stant temperature after germination was short and life 

 of that order in consequence. 



Consequently, we find the dividing line between 

 the species thoroughly defined in the cooling process in 

 the same property; namely, protoplasm. The period of
