ThE Earth is so formed that it generates a certain musical scale by its rotation. The voice is a musical instrument capable of fully responding to the earth vibrations; it is a case of perfect adaptation to environment.
The extreme compass of the voice is from C 64 of the lowest bass to F 1,440 of the soprano prima donna, and this is exactly the compass of the earth's harmonic scale.
The lowest-pitched voices develop in the North, and the highest voices in hot climates. It is a striking fact that, for centuries, the Greek Church has sought out voices capable of taking the extreme bass notes, E to C, in Arctic Russia, though of course such voices may now be diffused by migration, heredity, and cultivation.
THE full harmonic chord of 44 sounds may be compared with white light, and the whole range of sound vibrations with the solar spectrum.
The sun is in a different class because, so far as the solar system is concerned, it has a fixed position. The equatorial region of the sun is strewn with a series of spots which appear to have a cycle of eleven years. These spots are probably great craters in the sun's substance, from which issue huge columns of blazing gas thousands of miles high. The power of flame to produce sound vibrations upon the earth is well known; and, similarly, these enormous columns of flame whirling round at the high velocity of the sun's equator, produce an extremely powerful vibration which will spread throughout the solar system.
The actual vibration produced by the sun's rotation is F11, 6 octaves below F 11, the lowest audible vibration' on the earth, and 11 octaves below F 352, which is the lowest F and the 11th harmonic in the earth's harmonic series. Just as the sun stands at the centre of the solar system, so the sun's tonic F is planted in the middle of the earth scale. The equatorial sun flame vibration therefore reinforces the earth's F 1,408 and F 1,440 with great power, also the quarter-tone series from C 1,024 to F 1,408, the sun's vibrations being 13 octaves below those on the earth's surface.
Curiously enough, a break occurs in the solar system between Mars and Jupiter, the missing planet or the destroyed planet, or the planet prevented from forming by the rival gravitation pulls of the sun and Jupiter, being now represented by the Asteroids. If it is permissible to assume that the Asteroids take the place of a planet, and to reconstruct the probable dimensions and speed of that planet, we get the figures shown in the table, which give a vibration Bb 56 for the missing planet and supply the 7th and 14th harmonics absent from the solar system scale..
Jupiter moved inwards to about 480 million miles from the sun, and Saturn moved outwards to 886 million miles. Saturn then cast off a belt of its mass at a distance of 2,250 million miles, and this belt again splitting into two nearly equal parts repelling each other to 1,782 and 2,793 million miles, became the present planets Uranus and Neptune. The Jupiter mass is thus 10, Saturn 3, and Uranus and Neptune together 1, which again gives the ratios of tonic, dominant, and third, the three sounds of the common chord.
NOTE.-Distances from the Sun of the three groups of Planets, Mercury-Mars, Jupiter-Saturn, Uranus-Neptune, are in proportion to the cubes of 1, 2, 3 = 1, 8, 27. Total Diameters of the Planets are of the Sun's Diameter. Rotation on axis of Saturn-Neptune of Mercury-Jupiter. Mass of Saturn is of Mercury-Jupiter. Diameter of Earth group = 1, Uranus-Neptune 23, Jupiter-Saturn 7, that is a geometrical progression with 2 or √7 as common multiplier. This progression is also maintained between the planets of the inner group.
The Mercury vibration, C 256, is the lowest effective sound of children's voices, so Mercury must be where the children come from.
Every man thus unwittingly measures out the limit of the solar system, reaches full maturity at 35 years, when he has travelled one equator, and gradually declines in strength during the journey of the second equator. A lifetime of seventy years is a complete rising and falling wave.
