Tie formation of Bodies.

NJ. Lagrange has communicated to the
Belgian academy a paper on the formation
of bodies in the universe. In this paper he
expresses the opinion that, before any ex-
penditure Of work, the quantity of heat Of
the universe was nil; that the temperature
was gradually raised above absolute zero
at the expense of work done by attraction,
and hence the formation of solid bodies
must have preceded that Of liquids and
gases.
That through the gradual condensation
of matter and consequent enormous devel-
opment of heat the earth would attain, at
least in the parts near the surface, the state
of fiuidity necessary TO its form and geo
logical characters; then, as the temper
allure gradually rose with gradual agglom-
Grafton of matter. a very dense atmosphere
would form, with pressure diminishing
outward, and in a more advanced phase
the temperature Of this, after reaching a
maximum. would gradually diminish,
causing liquefaction or qualification OF
certain matters at first vaporous, while
other solid bodies might remain suspended
in the atmosphere.
Briefly NJ Lagrange, in calculation Of
the basis of his original and remarkable
theory as thus set forth, declares that
space is occupied by two substances
namely, one attractive. which is matter
properly so called, or material atoms; the
other repulsive, which occupies the inter
atomic space, and from which results be
tween any two atoms a variable repulsion
exercised at the surface of the latter.-New
York Sun.

Startled and touched by her sudden
