Show SUN AND MOON HOSTILE ill by our theory wo can also explain those storms those lightning like phenomena which are concomitants of earthquakes the hot rived in the colder region of the crust of alio earth produce by friction electricity which discharge itself in lightning strokes hence we can understand the dif ferent directions or degrees of intensity of the earthquake hocke A place situated immediately above the shaft receive alie hock in a vertical bearing iron below upward places situated laterally feel it in a wavelike wave like appearance and a stronger eruption from several crevices at the fame time ie felt a a vortex shock likewise the frequency of earthquakes in the neighborhood of rhoun bains explains itself from the circum betanco that these elevations are to speak the external corrugations of the internal crevice e here where in hoary antiquity the volcanic force of the earth has worked so violently it still daoro active than elsewhere this leads us to the second point tho esp lanati n of the connection of abo freu eucy of earthquakes with tho position of sun and moon justifying our caption with alie implication the the hostility of sul and luna to the movement of tho plowing flood in the interior of the earth is influenced by the attraction of sun and moon and this at traction can experience an intensification in one or lie other direction by the following six cases and at new moon and full anoon in which cases tun and moon exert their attraction in the same straight line of action particularly at the times of solar or lunar eclipses when the moon is nearest to the earth and stand in the equator of the earth perigee or when the sun is nearest to the earth jan ast 1st perihelion or and when alio sun is in the equator of march aist and sept af these combination bonfy five may coincide as tha fifth and the sixth exclude eccli other whenever there is a concurrence of several of thelio constellations their attractive cd ecta are necessarily accumulated and we witness oceanic anun earthquakes and volcanic eruptions with intensified vehemence there still remains the connection of alie moon with the weather just as tho moon aal erts the wave of the oceans and the floods in the interior of the earth it influences alio llio strata of the atmosphere it is a well known fact there are two permanent regular atmospheric currents on tho equator the air being heated to a higher decree by ho vertical rays of the pun rises up a warm air is lighter than cold air other air from the surrounding space rubes down in to fill the vacuum and tho warm air is compelled to flow off towards the poles in inverse ratio the polar currents go toward the equator in the temperate zone the two currents meet alie one with a tendency to fink the other will an to ariee hence the extraordinary irregularity in our regions now if several of alio above mentioned cosmic factors of attraction aro combined the rising aerial current rises the quicker and runs the more rapidly coining into our lesions it will be bess refrigerated versa he polar cur runs toward tho equator and less heated by its tap wit ahn equatorial air this produces n n cooling of
