MAN'S PLACE. 



transform the material into an entity of value in con- 

 servation. Nature not desiring a waste in any of its 

 means of its perpetuation of the body of the planet. 



Man's greatest inventions are of the kind that 

 transform great amounts of heat into the active form. 

 The transforming of latent heat into active heat adds 

 to the life of the earth. Great activity anywhere on 

 the face of the earth has been observed to cause an 

 extra precipitation of rain in like localities. Extra 

 precipitation of rains in localities which formerly were 

 dry tend to show that the temperature has been raised 

 from a worldly standpoint, admitting of the dispersal 

 of greater amounts of water from the seas, and conse- 

 quent carriage to more distant points before cold 

 would overcome the total volume, causing same to 

 be precipitated. Thereby adding to the proof in favor 

 of establishing man's place in the world's conservation. 

 Also tending to prove that man has to conform to a 

 certain amount of work in order that the portions of 

 the earth may conform to his mode of life. His mode 

 of life necessitating certain conditions that are procur- 

 able by the work, all of which are a necessity to the per- 

 petuation of the earth, or prolongation of its period of 

 duration. And all, further, tendine to prove that man 

 is the slave of nature by having to conform to the per- 

 petuation of self in order that he may conform to the 

 greater cause of worldly conservation. He being but 

 the minor property aiding in a greater cause.

 tending to transform great stores of latent heat into the
