"ALL GROUND MOVES."
Bui the fact remains that all ground moves, and ceas6i?.*iAy- 'f fle ground is not homogeneous and yet H i.s impossible fo find any connection , between tucse cartn-tictes n~d earth-. quakes. > if we were able to obfeu^- the oc " can tides, it is because of the shores •' At sea it is impossible to notke the ! ' tide, because there is no point of 1 cnmpnrison. But by tile seaside we , see ili.jyocean rise and withdraw. liie ocean Hide moves fifty centimetres in the open sea, and were our ■' jctabe cuiirely covered with water and i peopled with sailors the existence >>t ! the tides would have remained uni{ known , - Besides, do we notice the move- ■ ment of the diurnal rotation of ihe ! earth, which makes all points or ihc ' : cciuator run at a speed of about 500 yaids per second? ['- Do we notice the annual movement r of the earth which .carries us away , into space at a speed of some eight--1 een pc rsecond? We r«ti, we ' fly on a celestial automobile at a fanv tast<c rate. Who realises it f , De .we notice that our vessel U'uv.ls i in the Infinite more rapidly in JXve<fi--1 ber and January and less so i.'i June I aad July? 3* Fortunately] everything 1 - is built >n J such a way "in pondere et mensura" (in weight and measure) that w« live quietly on a ground which scum's fixed, solid, stable to us, and outiiny worthy "of confidence. We breathe j without thinking of it. Our heart bears, our blood travels. That heart has been wound up to give about ioo,--ir _ ' 000 pulsations per day, or 33$ millions per year, or 1,825 millions in 50 years. c . It i'j to beat one, two or three tbousie and millions of times and then stop. >c j Around us everything is in motion (j. ana in oursexves. v- in men, and in plants even • the atoms are constantly quivering. And Is the stars, atoms of the firmament, ie are carried away/ like our sun and Ike te ourselves, at such speeds that sever- /& al of them travel at the rate of 190 to and even. 250 miles per second! The at law of work is the supreme Jaw. The new motion of the earth now in dis-ccvered is, no doubt, a cause for ie wonder. But there is nothing unle usual in it.
