^ hy is Saturn so formed that we tan 
see stars through the space between his 
two rings or spheres, and the barrel shap¬ 
ed part of the planet situated within the 
rings, unless that great and rapidly rota¬ 
ting planet is formed somehow on the prin¬ 
ciple of concentric spheres, with open poles ,\ 
such as I descr ibe ; and, if so, how can it, 
j be that any of the other planets should be 
formed solid, or with entire spheres?-— 
Our best evidence in relation to what we 
do not see, is analogy: therefore, inde¬ 
pendent of known terrestrial facts, and the 
acknowledged principles of gravity, anal¬ 
ogy teaches us that the earth must be con¬ 
stituted of concentric spheres, much or lit¬ 
tle open at the poles, in proportion to the 
rapidity of rotation around its axis. 
it those tests in this number which ap¬ 
ply to the existence and locality of the 
northern verge, do not satisfy the reader 
that the verge exists where I locate it, he 
should, I contend, be able to account for 
such facts existing as they do, upon some 
other principles, either old or new. In ; 
j other words; the locality of the verge; as 
above stated,being within our well known 
geographical limits, I contend, that all who 
do not acknowledge the existence and po¬ 
sition ofib^ycrge, as here stated, ought 
to be able to shai^^ylocal facts, its non¬ 
existence. 
- hy are several of the following facts 
and particulars inexplicable upon the prin¬ 
ciples of the Old Theory of the earth, and 
are yet easily explained upon the princi¬ 
ples o', the J\Tew Theory, unless the latter 
be best supported by facts or phenomena? 
[A west course from Drontheim, in Nor¬ 
way, leading beyond Hudson’s Bay until 
it reaches the meridians on which the 
mouth of M’Keozie’s River,and the mouth 
of Coppermine river, respectively exist, 
will, I contend, wind into the concave over 
the American slope of the verge to where 
North and South are nearly reversed as 
relates to us ] 
At the mouths of the two rivers above 
named, Hearne and M’Kenzie, respective¬
