HEAT AND COLD. 



ditions to the conditions that brought forth the man, 

 but the difference was plenty to divide the species into 

 different families. Perhaps that a study of the tem- 

 perature at the' time of germination as observed today 

 will distinctly divide for once and all time the rela- 

 tionship of the species, making it very clear what was 

 the real difference. 



As to one class of animal being transformed into 

 another by time and change seems too foolish to con- 

 sider. But where the periods of gestation are alike, or 

 very near so, it is possible that a cross may be brought 

 about between two forms of species. And the off- 

 spring taking on portions of the qualities of each of 

 the animal forms. 



Trees and herbs of all classes, and in fact all vege- 

 table life, along with all cereal growths, were effected 

 by the cooling process of the planet, just like the ani- 

 mal kingdom. The difference in elevation bringing 

 into existence the order of life adaptable to existence 

 at the greatest temperature, and so on down the order 

 of each succeeding plant in the order of its relativity 

 to the first in temperature. Each plant coming into 

 existence whenever the temperature was present that 

 would admit of its union into a growing form. And 

 so on down to the order of the plant life now growing 

 in the ice banks or snow banks in our coldest regions. 

 Each coming within the earliest condition that would 

 admit of same.
