ing power of same in the premises. It forces the 

 moon to describe an elongated ellipse in the order of 

 the diagonal power exercised by the sun in buoying the 

 moon onward. The reason of the moon setting farther 

 south than rising during this period can be attributed 

 to the shift of the earth during the intervening hours. 

 The reason why the moon rises far of! south dur- 

 ing the summer months in northern latitudes can be 

 attributed to the action of the sun with regard to south- 

 ern latitudes. The sun bearing obliquely or diagon- 

 ally with regard to the southern climes, and being a 

 power to propel any and all things in nature. It 

 naturally, when bearing on a large body like the moon, 

 carries it off toward the south with regard to the 

 earth. Again proving that no matter where the sun 

 is located, its tendency is to drive away any body of 

 matter that comes within its power of propulsion. Of 

 course the limit of the driving power being reached 

 when the cold, in compressing on matter, shall make 

 the body equal to a given line of demarkation. Taking 

 into consideration the gaseous center. 



PROBABLE DURATION OF THE MOON IN 



ITS VOYAGE AROUND THE EARTH,

IN ADDING TO THE LIFE 



OF THE EARTH. 



The moon is one of nature's means of adding to 

 the life of our planet. It is a reserve force for the re- 

 building when life becomes almost extinct within the
