But this fact, of whichan explanation has already been attempted, may be seen to be anecessary result of the law of rotation, as manifested in all revol-ving bodies; and failing to understand this law, no one can in-telligently pursue the inquiry. Let a circular disk of stiff paper be written upon in one ormore circular lines, around its center, either in a concentric orvorticose form ; then put this disk in rotation upon it
