II the atmosphere at one time con-
tanned all the carbon now stored away
in the earth, it is claimed that plant life.
would then have grown 1,000 times more
rapidly than now, because carbon, in the
condition of carbonic acid, is the food
of plants. That may be true, but 1 do
not believe it.
The sunshine is necessary to the
growth of plant life, but too much sun
shine will kill the plant. Water is nec-
essary to plant life, but too much water
will destroy it. Carhonic acid is ncces-
sary to plant life, but let us increase
the mount now in the at%Mosphe. e 1000
times, and who will say that it would
not destroy plant life?
The Upas valley in Java is not nec-
essarily IL desert, but as no vegetable
grows there, it is believed that the car.
bonic acid, which is eighteen feet deep,
is the cause of it's bare fields.
Things are not what they 81 en-. The
beautiful evening star we see following
the SUI as it sinks in the west is as
bright as any of the blazing orbs that
are supposed to be on fire, Tut none of
our astronomers hold that Venus is a
burning world. In fact there is no
proof that any of the planets contain
more heat than does the earth, while IL
is well known that Jupiter and Saturn
shine, to some extent, Of their own
light. In fact, the earth shines of it's
light through its alrtra, or north
ern lights, and these lights will We lie
recognized as of the hi nature as the
inherent light of Jupiter, Saturn and
the sun
Every astronomer declares that the
neon is q burned out, dead body. de.

phere, u cold and ~decayins world. But
Prof. Proctor says that the moon has q
p%erceptible influence on our magnetic
needles, and as magnet m is the source
Of light and heat, the magnetism, light
and heat of our earth are affected by
the cold, dead moon.
Then 1t is not neces :ary that the sun
be a hot body, for its magnetism is all
sufficient to produce the light and heat
in ou atmosphere. The supposed in
herent heat Of the sun is what leads
biologists to the theory that the earth
was once a burning body, as the sun
now is.
We cannot have a correct basis for
weather changes till we arrive q. a cor
rect Theory as to the physical forces

my arguments on geology and physical
astronomy are directed toward the
throw Of the false basis upon which;
these two sciences are placed. When I
shall have shown the earth yould not
have come to its present condition
along the lines pointed out by astrono-
mers and biologists, I will then put
forth the only true basis on which to
build the sciences Of physicai astronomy,
geology, and meteorology.
