Were the earth stationary the body would fall immediately under the place it left." This could not happen unless the earth had a motion from west to east. It is found then that when a body descends from a high place, say a few hundred feet, it does not fall exactly beneath the spot it left, but a little to the east. By this motion everything upon the earth describes a circle, which is larger in proportion as the object is raised above the surface and as everything moves round in the same time, the greater the elevation of the object, the faster it will travel so that the top of a house or hill moves faster than its base. "The falling of bodies from high places is a further proof of the daily rotation of the earth.
