revolve about the Cosmic centre in thesame direction as the ring, and hence as the helioiditself. This first body, in our system, would bethe embryo planet which we now call Neptune.A repetition of this process would produce planetafter planet, until the helioid had shrunk to abody too small, or too solid, to generate anymore, and, for lack of reason to the contrary, eachwould revolve in the same direction as the centralmass. Q. E. D. Here I may remark that two or more such up-heavals might occur in the time of one ring, at agreat distance apart, and that this would result inthe formation of two or more planets, at equal dis-tances from the centre, a condition of which someof the Asteroids furnish an illusti-ation. The rela-tive size of such twin planets would depend uponthe distance apart of the upheavals, as well as thelength of time one appeared before the other. PROPOSITION 3. From this same equatorial upheaval other im-portant results flow. . * Fig. 4 illustrates this; q. v. 254

Fig. 4 represents an equatorial section of theCosmos, although a very distorted one. We herehave the conditions just described. Not onlywould the atoms on one side approach the nucleusN with an increased velocity, but this would gene-rate an increase of centrifugal force, causing themto recede somewhat from the Cosmic centre, whilethe atoms in advance would, for the opposite rea-son, have less centrifugal force, and be drawnnearer the centre. Omitting all consideration ofthe absolute motion, and looking only at the rela- NEBULAK HYPOTHESIS, 255 tive, there will be, in effect, two streams of nebu-lous matter moving in opposite directions towardsthe nucleal point, the medial line of the one fall-ing nearer the centre of the system than that ofthe other, thus generating an axial revolution inthe same direction as the orbital.
