At the southern ends of the dry tongues heat is lost and dry air descends from the upper regions. The northern ends of the wet tongues tend to condense, pass mois ture to the dry tongues. As the tongues exchange heat and moisture...
Thus ''driven to changes below the surface," Dr. Brown offered the following hypothesis : astronomers believe that certain stars pulsate bodily, and it is not unreasonable to suspect that the earth, a star, pulsates too. If there is a uniform contraction and expansion of the entire globe a raising of five inches in the crust is sufficient to slow down the earth and account for the maximum lengthening of the day which has so far been observed. The process of expansion, said Dr. Brown, might conceivably take place if there were a layer of material near the earth...
