on to Venus with the seed of the vegetable kingdom, where the
vegetable evolution ended with the loss of axial rotation;
how from Venus it leaped to the moon, mother of animals and
controller of animal life, with the seed of animal life in the
vegetable; and how finally it came to the earth, when the moon
ceased to revolve, bringing in the animal the seed of man. Here
man will be evolved and perfected. Man has not yet been "born"
on this earth, they say. He is still in a prenatal or embryonic
condition within the animal.

The lunar Pitris, the men-seed, have a physical reason for being,
if this evolutionary theory be true; none if it is not. Axial
rotation is necessary in evolution, the ancient physics teaches,
which must cease with it. The reasons for this are too lengthy
to give here. Briefly, the rotation makes the electrical flow
and a thermopilic dynamo of each planet.

The ancient astronomical teaching is absolutely true. There will
not be a work on astronomy published in Europe or the United
States this year, or hereafter, that will not state that "Mercury
and Venus revolve on their axes in the same time that they
revolve around the sun," which is another way of saying that
"they have no axial rotation, always presenting the same face to
the sun," and an inaccurate way of presenting the truth. The
screw that holds the tire at the outer end of the spoke does not
revolve "once on its axis" each time the wheel revolves. Run a
cane through an orange and swing it around; the orange has not
revolved "once on its axis." Nor does the stone in a sling
revolve "once on its axis" for each revolution around the hand.
The motion of Mercury is identically that of the impaled orange
