We might here enter largely into other points of high interest connected with the science of meteorology, did the nature of our subject allow it. We do not forget that it is upon the senses that we have to write, and accordingly we can go no further here than to show, in a brief and succinct manner, a few of the principal arrangements instituted by Almighty wisdom and power, which render our solid globe and its circumambient atmosphere the fitting abode of such forms of organic life as we are acquainted with, and for which, in fact, the world was created. To this world all the senses of animals are expressly accommodated. If there were no air, there could be no organs of hearing--granting the existence of living beings without respiration. If there were no light, or the laws of light were otherwise than what they are, our eyes would be useless. Were our lower stratum of atmosphere always enveloped in a dense mist, obscuring the rays of the sun, the sphere of our vision and its accuracy would be greatly circumscribed--nay, sounds would fall more dully on our ears. Suppose the globe closely shrouded by an oppressive fog; and then imagine the condition of plants, animals, and man. Yet, did it please our great Creator, it is in his power to call into existence plants and animals fitted for so moist and obscure an atmosphere. Again, the atmospheric temperature, the varying degrees of heat and cold, according to latitude and to the characters of land--that is, its elevation, its depression, the nature of its surface, and the arrangement of adjacent seas, etc., are in harmony with the development of life, and the due exercise of animal functions. Then, intimately connected with this subject, are the laws of caloric, the suspension of which would lead to the annihilation of all organic beings at present constituted. Neither can we forget the weight of the atmosphere, its varying electric conditions, nor the density and attractive force of our planet. To these, and many other laws impressed upon matter, and the results of those laws, are the physical organization of plants and animals adapted, each in its own way, but yet with a mutual relative bearing, conducive to universal order.
