9. N.S. Shaler, “The Red Sunsets”
It is a familiar fact that the earth’s atmosphere is a singular delicate mechanism, that moves with trifling impulses in the most varied ways. From its behavior during the Krakatoa eruption we may find one evidence of its sensitiveness to disturbing actions For months the earth has been wrapped in a veil that denies admission to a small part of the sun’s light Upon this heat all the machinery of the earth’s physical and organic life most intimately depends. Take but the hundredth part of it away and all the life of the earth would feel the loss of power Thousands of animals and plants would find their conditions changed, so that the boundaries of the provinces they occupy would be altered, or even life itself abandoned after a few years of struggle
