A SCIENTIFIC THEORY.

A body composed Of liquid fluid
without an atmosphere, may form crust
all over simultaneously.
A revolving body composed of liquid
fluid with an atmosphere will harden a
crust first at the poles, where such a
body is comparatively at rest.
When a revolving body composed of
liquid fluid, first formed a crust, such
crust will be formed from the poles,
extending far enough, till it will encounter
the opposing force of the atmospheric
pressure on the liquid fluid Of the main
mass, at the edge Of the crust.
The retarded upper layer of the main
mass will meet the normal velocity of
the liquid fluid under the crust, resulting
in circular currents, parallel with and at
| the edge of the crust. These currents
| will be taken up, under the crust, and
follow the crust, till they meet at the pole,
there by their concentrated force grind
| on the crust, till they break through, and
| throw up matter at the pole, that will
thicken the crust.
A crust so formed, will never add any
thing onto the edge of the crust, the edge
| will always be grinded off by currents.
The crust is builded up from the out
side.
Those currents directed toward the
poles will grind off the under, reheated,
softer material of the crust (thereby keep
| ing the crust proper thickness) carry it to
the pole, where it is thrown up to add on
| the outside crust. At the same time
! the crust in the direction of the equator,
to keep the body's balance in its rotun-
| dity.
In that way the crust will become
strong and hold itself, and keep on ex-
| tending toward the equator.
| The Sun supposed to have formed a
| Then the nroSSnrQ of nhrO1NDsynh0r0 of
the sun at the equatorial region, encOun-
| ter the full centrifugal force of the pho
tosphere, the result is retardation of the
upper layer of the photosphere in the
| equatorial region. That retardatiOn will
| be communicated to the lower layer, till
| it effects the lower layer, then the crust is
thick, there the layer will meet the more
| quicker moving photosphere under the
| crust. The result is currents directed to
either pole. These currents meet, from
the whole periphery Of the crust, at the
poles. Grind against the crust with great
force and break through, throw up mat
ter, that starts at the poles, without rotary
movement, toward t-le equator, thereby
create a retardation of the crust, that to-
gether with the retardatiOn Of the cur
rents directed toward the poles under the
crust will create retardation of the
crust, that will Overbalance the retarda-
ton Of the photosphere at the equatorial
region, the crust will move slower than
| the equator.
| The greater force of the currents direct
ed toward the poles, are thrown back from
the poles in parabolic curve, deep in the
SUMS body and meet the currents from
the opposite pole at the equator, where
they boil up and form large whirlpools.
The cooler matter of the chromosphere
rushes into them, makes them appear as
black spots. The currents directed to.
ward the poles, act on the vortex of the
Htrvrn c,vO w Inn psrJ
the crust, where they grind the edge OF
the crust, and then disappear under the
crust. The material taken from the edge
of the crust and the matter running over
tho crust thrown up at the poles, possibly
gives the surface of the sun its notified
appearance. =
must be Of great thickness, forming banks
on both sides of the philosophers, that adj
4 NIT of no currents directed toward the
poles, from the upper layer OF the phots-
phere.
The currents directed toward the poles
take their material from under the upper
LAYER of the philosophers, at the equato-
rial region, thereby creating strips OF
different velocity PARALLEL to the equator,
in the upper layer of the philosophers.
The whirlpools will neutralize the re-
tardation of the philosophers between the
crust; the force Of the currents will be-
come less, and the whirlpolls will become
more and more less. The sun will be
come comparatively calm. Then thu
pressure of the crOmosphere will agar
act on the photsphere, and the whole VIII
repeat itself.
The eleven year period will depend OF
the pressure of the chrOmOsphere on tht
lphotosphere and the mass of the sun
i Were the pressure more or less, or tn
mass of the sun larger or smaller TIT
period would be longer or shorter IN &C
cordance. ID. FENsHAW,
