HEAT AND COLD. 



form of species differing in conformity with the differ- 

 ence in location of posit of mineral properties, and 

 minute differences of time of incubation. The bird life 

 being subject to extreme changes and immediate also, 

 owing to location; in consequence formed wings and 

 bodily covering by the congealing of the exuded parti- 

 cles thrown off from the body through the pores. While 

 the body was yet bare and being of such chemical con- 

 struction as to cause the precipitation of particles from 

 suspended matter, it took up moisture and other proper- 

 ties within the system. But temperature changing so 

 quickly in like locations as to deprive the life of gaining 

 sustenance by that means for any period of time. 



In consequence the bird life began to feed on the 

 insect life that preceded it. While feeding on the in- 

 sect life, the cold became so extraordinary in short per- 

 iods of time that the system in throwing off its exuded 

 matter, caused the earliest exuded particles to congeal 

 within the pores forming tubes. These tubes were kept 

 open by the disintegration of particles into minute par- 

 ticles of matter, through the action of the digestive 

 apparatuses from within generating heat to disperse 

 outward. As each succeeding layer or load was carried 

 outward by the deterging power generated from within 

 it became congealed by the action of cold on the outer 

 portion of the next preceding layer. This process con- 

 tinued until the stalk or bodies of quills was completed 

 in the pores of the system. 



After the stalk or quill was carried outward 

 from the body so as to be denied aid in restraining
