The atmospheric pressure is exerted
equally on all sides, u.-> a passive force.
I in Hiiy mauner the weight of the at
mosphere should bo lifted off oue por
uorl of the oarth then the pressure at
the Antipodes would become an active
force, causing the earl h to move iu the
tiir jcli 'ti of the non-resistance. The
t.nfh revolves upon its axis and is held
to an orbit which is the resultaut of ail
t. a* bodies in the starry system. A
bicycle rider iu the same manner is
ij, ;d m an upright posit.on by the re
sultant of the force of gravity and the
i , ee that impels him uu ward. Li*t
o..c push or pull the rider as he is
, asr mg and he will tie deflected from
i,,-. regular course briefly but the com -
0 of the forces m '.tinned will
,, qore him to his original erect posi
tion. The earth is uuich more dcii
c :ic!y poised than the bicycle-rider
;,i i ii be supposed that a passer-by
. ukc a puil at the ? ieeve of
Metier Earth, so to speak, as she
j -ised by, with snttici‘ip force to lih
tot weight of the atmosphere off her.
unich would be the equivalent of
tie.ity millions of tons per square
1 die, cun any good reason he adduc u
v. y the earth would not bo deflec’* d
ti , s normal position as was tin.
Pi, v. ie rider? Does 1 not follow a- a
tan conclusion that upon the removal
of the disturbing force, the earth
v. uld begin to gravitate back and
u. imately assume her original p. si
ii >:i in the planetery system.
