HEAT AND COLD. 



in a center of globular gaseous medium forces the dif- 

 ferent gases to assume relative coats in conformity with 

 the different coats around the human eye. 



To take this problem up in the sense that will 

 make our study clear to each reader, we will concen- 

 trate our example within the sphere of our sun; then 

 we will carry the same process throughout all nature. 

 We will make our sun the center of the universe for 

 the sake of carrying out the law at the bottom of suns; 

 while yet we know that our sun is only a minor sun. 

 Yet in the premises it will be better to conclude from 

 our sun as a point of getting at the bottom of the 

 law of suns; it being easier for the mind to grasp the 

 problem from the source within our range of vision. 



Now our sun being a great body of burning prop- 

 erties of matter at the beginning of things, it has a 

 power to reduce all matter into minute particles so as 

 to feed the flame. Its powers being always to disperse 

 by reducing matter into more minute forms, as the 

 particles of matter become nearer to the center of 

 power. In each case the particles reduced by proxim- 

 ity being lifted by the propelling power and thrown 

 against the next range of particles of greater bodily 

 dimensions which range outside of the given range of 

 reduction by the action of heat. These particles being 

 impinged against particles of greater dimensions 

 whose weight are greater, and in consequence the 

 lighter or reduced particles are forced toward the 

 power or source of heat, being the sun. This process 

 continues by reducing particles of matter from the
