bodvtlot is the sfi,orc of the distance from the cen
ire Of grnvitv IN the Lolv to he onrrntcd mon or TO
the place where the force is To- he apprd or the opera
ton to take place Thus the reviewer in his final
restoration of what he saws had overlooked SAYS
" IT, as he TMr. Young acknowledgcs. the effects
within the rs feet indicate force at the surface of the
earth GO times as rrea, as a, the moon the vcoctics
ocnurcd nj tho on nj tho IL Go, nj .o nJic,tc n force
Go times rs treat nj the surtcr of the earth as at the
moon and fOx6O= 1900 which is the snnarc of the
distance" That is each indication in speaking for
itself declares the intensity of gravity to be inverscly
rs the distance and the disf11rr multipied into the
distance gives the SQUARE of the dstanc,s-tha is the
square of the distance at which we are seeking for
operation and intensity compared with unity. the
rate of intensity exrrted the sunce of the EARTH or
distance from the ccntr of gravity: Thus, as each
example of the reviewer indicates the force of gravity
to be but Loo great at the moon at the surface
of the earth the sarc of the rate at the distance of
the moon will of course give the rate at the square
the distance of the NOON viz: l-3j00 part of unity.
1900 part of the rate intensity at the surface OF
the earth But had verify thought our inquiry was,
to ascertain the rate or intensity proporoucd to
distance, in lieu OF the square of the distance.
Such then, is the result of what the reviewer calls
