Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson receive a globe and a letter.
Holmes orders Watson to read the letter again: "My secret within you must seek out. But spare my skin or break my heart."
No signature given.
After Holmes had left in the morning and before the paper boy had come, he found a globe in front of their door, accompanied by a cryptic note. Watson urges Holmes to solve the riddle ? before the Royal Society will be at his home tonight.
Their first findings tell them that the inside material must be heavier than the outside material. Therefore ,Sherlock states that the globe is not made of the same materials throughout and he must use inferencing to solve the riddle. "It does not tell us very much," Watson remarks. "Then we have to learn more," Holmes responds and checks on the temperature inside through a little hole. Next, Holmes listens to the globe with a stethoscope and hears slight rumblings. Now Holmes sets up a series of mirrors and lights and tries vibrations which he divides into primary and secondary vibrations. The primary vibrations going through gasses, liquid, air and solids, the secondary through solids only.
For his nephew's birthday Watson has bought a compass. As he unpacks it, he wonders why it is not showing north but to the globe. Holmes finds the missing piece to the riddle and promises Watson the answer tonight when the Royal Society will be in.
In front of them Holmes explains how he came to the solution: The difference the waves of vibration gave him a clue where the core is located and it's dimensions. The temperature and the magnetic field indicate what a the core is about: Hot melted metal. As they applaud, Holmes refuses the praise at first because the real answer is that he used the same methods he would use in solving a crime.
So therefore, a detective is a scientist and the scientist a detective. Now he accepts the applause. When all have left Holmes admits that he has not solved the final question: Where it had come from?
