HEAT AND COLD. 



became exposed to the action of cold from the top and 

 all sides working towards radiation. Each revolution 

 tending to reduce them far in advance of all other sur- 

 roundings. Each succeeding precipitation of proper- 

 ties of matter of a different order of precipitation 

 necessitated an additional reduction of temperature, 

 owing to increasing height above the order of sur- 

 roundings. The additional reduction in the tempera- 

 ture occasioned by the additional elevation would 

 necessitate another precipitation of matter of a lower 

 order of precipitation. Thereby reducing the tempera- 

 ture of the mountain until the properties came within 

 the order conducive to the precipitation of the proper- 

 ties, which would mingle into the germinating mass 

 and develop into life. Following the condition ar- 

 rived at where life could exist of the first order, addi- 

 tional reduction down the sides of the body of land 

 forming the mountain would admit of other forms of 

 life. On down and down the side of the mountain until 

 to the lowlands there would be different periods of 

 constant temperatures. Each to be regulated by the 

 amount of land that would act as a warming body in 

 the maintenance of a permanent temperature for a 

 given time after the union of the life building prop- 

 erties. 



As to the means of bringing about in each case 

 the different temperature, along the line of union in 

 the case of each life coming into being, and that being 

 of a higher order, than the temperature consistent with 

 incubation. Nothing is more easy of explanation.
