skin; in consequence no background to maintain heat. 

 In consequence, a reduction in temperature of like sur- 

 faces. A reduction in .temperature below the rest of 

 body, while the temperature conforms to conditions of 

 draining the system elsewhere; and in consequence the 

 particles carried out of the system are caused to con- 

 geal on the surface of skin on the top of the head. When 

 congealed they reduce the temperature further by get- 

 ting further distant from the source of bodily heat. In 

 consequence the precipitation of properties held in sus- 

 pension admitting of precipitation in the given tem- 

 perature; and union with the exuded particles. And 

 thereby nature provides a covering so as to adjust that 

 portion of the body to the conditions that become mani- 

 fest. 



It would be well for the reader to remember that 

 the true law of life of any form will develop a style of 

 life conforming with the temperature of constant. If 

 the temperature of constant in a given part of the earth 

 surface will conform in the low lands to the constant 

 necessary to the production of man, then man will be 

 the product of the given elevation. The ideas hereto- 

 fore depicted only applied to the great continents in a 

 general way. The temperature of constant is the given 

 law, and seek for capabilities in the place questioned. 



A low, level island having uniform temperature 

 may arrive at the temperature conducive to life, and 

 have the necessary properties in the mineral line to de- 

 velop but few forms of life. The scarcity of mineral 

 properties would render man the most likely style of
