HEAT AND COLD. 



In the field of scientific research, so far as devel- 

 oped, it has held as a postulate that matter cannot be 

 destroyed or that matter cannot be made. Accepting 

 the truth of the indestructibility of matter as a fact, 

 and the inability of man or conditions to make matter 

 as an additional fact. Then taking into consideration 

 the change in the temperature that has taken place in 

 the formation of worlds until cooled off like our own. 

 Then there' seems nothing within reach of the mind 

 which has occurred but what will admit of duplication 

 within the conditions which had to transpire. In fact 

 there is nothing within reach of the eye, aided by the 

 most powerful lens constructed by man, or in fact, 

 within the universe, but what will admit of proof 

 within the laws of changing temperatures. There has 

 never occurred for one moment or for one year any 

 condition in the life of an animal but what can be du- 

 plicated in the cooling off of a planet. When the con- 

 dition could not be found in one portion it certainly 

 was to be had in another. And every property neces- 

 sary for the construction could be had at the right time 

 in one place or another during the cooling process. 

 There being so many places upon the surface of the 

 earth where the same conditions could become mani- 

 fest, in case of failure in one there was always another 

 to carry out the work. It being one more case where 

 nature was not found wanting in many means of carry- 

 ing out her work. And she had a million of safe- 

 guards in guaranteeing the carrying out of success in 

 each case.
