The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
25
This
Relation
confirmed
partly
the
observation
of
the
Bird-men
concerning
the
cause
of
Snow;
but
since
they
had
made
mention
that
that
same
extract,
which
by
its
commixture
with
Water
made
Snow,
proceeded
from
the
Element
of
Fire,
that
is
under
the
Moon:
The
Emperess
asked
them,
of
what
nature
that
Elementary
Fire
was;
whether
it
was
like
ordinary
Fire
here
upon
Earth,
or
such
a
Fire
as
is
within
the
bowels
of
the
Earth,
and
as
the
famous
Mountains
Vesuvius
and
Ætna
do
burn
withal;
or
whether
it
was
such
a
sort
of
fire,
as
is
found
in
flints,
&c.
They
answered,
That
the
Elementary
Fire,
which
is
underneath
the
Sun,
was
not
so
solid
as
any
of
those
mentioned
fires;
because
it
had
no
solid
fuel
to
feed
on;
but
yet
it
was
much
like
the
flame
of
ordinary
fire,
onely
somewhat
more
thin
and
fluid;
for
Flame,
said
they,
is
nothing
else
but
the
airy
part
of
a
fired
Body.
Lastly,
the
Empress
asked
the
Bird-men
of
the
nature
of
Thunder
and
Lightning?
and
whether
it
was
not
caused
by
roves
of
Ice
falling
upon
each
other?
