ORGANIC LIFE. 



The earth revolving in space and surrounded at that 

 time with gases of matter in suspension, each capable 

 of precipitation within a given temperature whenever 

 arrived at. The earth revolving with one side border- 

 ing cold of interstellar space where cold is equal in co- 

 hesive tendency to the action of heat from the other 

 side of the earth where the sun drives or lifts on the 

 same. During each revolution toward the cold of 

 space the matter held in suspension bordering near the 

 surface of the earth and being carried with it in the 

 revolution, that would admit of precipitation within 

 the given temperature being precipitated. When 

 properties being held in suspension during this period 

 of exposure to cold are of a chemical disposition that 

 will admit of their action in union with other proper- 

 ties already precipitated. Then they unite. This 

 chemical action between the property already on 

 the earth and the property in suspension takes 

 place at a temperature higher than the tempera- 

 ture of precipitation of the property held in sus- 

 pension. The chemical action in the union of 

 the properties first tends to raise the temperature, 

 then finally settles down to be governed by temperature 

 of the place of surroundings. Temperatures of sur- 

 roundings when conducive to the maintenance of life, 

 \vhen the union is of properties capable of building up 

 a form of life, and hence life. 



Forms of life like the elephant and other animals 

 of great bodily proportions were undoubtedly the 

 product of lowlands, where there were great bodies of
