Earth, theso planets werc necessarily

millions of miles and this will aid
Bible students in accounting tor
the iong-livcd people in tho age
of Mathuselah. Before Mercury en-.
tered our system the earth Was much
nearer the sun than now, and the years
much shorter. There are many tradi-
tons found in the Bible that might be
thus scientifically accounted for. The
earth is certainly receding from the sun
as 1t grows larger and it's electric enyel-
ope increases in thickness and power.
1t is also claimed that another large
mercurial planet. which 10 called vui-
can, exists inside the orbit Of Mercury,
and if there 10, and 1t is young planet.
It entrance 70 our system would have
caused our earth TO recede from the
! sun, causing our years to be longer.
Mercury's years are only eighty EIGHT
of our days in length, and before Mer-
curry and Vulcan entered the system 1T
is not unreasonable to suppose that the
earth was as near the sun as Mercury
now Is, and our years less than one
fourth their present length.
Distribution OF Heat ON the Earth.
The electric theory docs not admit
that Mercury receives much more heat
from the sun than does the earth nor
the outer planets much less, because
heat is caused by the electric currents
that pass between the sun and earth
and the only probable effect on the
earth when nearer tho sun Was that
the waters now in the seas and lakes
were then in evaporation and the
whole earth surrounded by dense clouds
that never let in the direct rays OF the
sun as Is now the case with Venus and
Mercury. This theory would account
for many otherwise unaccountable
facts. 1t is now we'll known that the
tropical heat once extended to the most
northern points reached by man be-
cause the remains of southern or topi-
cal fora and fauna, plants and animals,
are found IN these northern regions.
Dense and perpetual cloudiness would
cause the tropical heat to be distributed
all over the earth, even TO the poles,
and tho increase of the electrical forces
caused by the nearness of the sun
| would aid in this. This theory Is so full
of force that the old school of scientists
will never be able TO overthrow it and
it sustains the biblical and geological
histories of the past.
When Mercury came TO our system
causing the earth to recede from the
sun the natural result was 10 preci-
plate the dense clouds that had per-
| petually hid the sun from sight, thus
causing immense rains and great
flood, and if Bible readers will study
Genesis with this idea in mind they
| will better understand that account of
| creation.
