EVIDENCE PROVING THE STATEMENT OF THE CASE 69 



molecules to further divide A, he calls it an "element." 

 This is the fundamental mode of procedure adopted by 

 the chemist. He calls the reactions "chemical re- 

 actions" according to chemical laws. But the funda- 

 mental idea is radically false. It arises from the 

 excessive division of labour. There are no laws of 

 chemistry ; chemistry is not a god : there are laws of 

 Nature only. We must not look at Nature from a 

 departmental point of view. Chemical reactions in all 

 their phases, in every motion of every object, atom or 

 molecule, and in every form of the mass, are part of one 

 huge cosmos Nature. 



Or the combination may consist of molecules, say, 



A, B and C, all free, moving amongst each other. It is 

 a liquid, and the chemist submits the compound fluid 

 to a certain definite temperature, and one of the 

 constituents, say molecules called C, seizes the anti- 

 gravitating Ether more quickly than A and B. They 

 rise in the air, or in the worm of a distilling apparatus, 

 and by this process we have C separated from A and 



B. C may be a compound or an element, that is, mole- 

 cular or atomic. This is a second mode of procedure 

 called dissociation, but it is not generally so perfect as 

 chemical reaction or bonding by molecules. Because 

 our evidence 1 clearly shows, besides the reaction caused 

 by the molecules expanding by the absorption of the 

 antigravitating Ether, certain of the molecules of A 

 and B are mechanically buoyed up and carried up- 

 wards by the ascending and expanding molecules. Or, 

 inasmuch as all chemical reactions are dependent on 

 Ether, and this is a natural law, we may force a current
