same reaction as with Chlorine. Bromine does not 

 liquefy, or if it does the liquid expands into the 

 gaseous so quickly that the liquid atoms cannot 

 be seen to collect together to become drops of liquid 

 as in the case of Chlorine. 



Now this is the point to study: the a boiling" of 

 liquid air is intense molecular motion and produces such 

 cold (190 C.) as to freeze and solidify the gases. 

 How then can molecular motion be heat ? 



The experiments are exhaustive and fatal to the 

 kinetic theory. Is it not wonderful that the specialists 

 the physicists with these experiments before them, 

 can believe in the obsolete dogma the kinetic theory ? 

 that is : heat is not only molecular motion 9 but the 

 greater the motion the greater the heat, and the less the 

 motion the less the heal ! 



Prof. Dewar calls this molecular motion the " boil- 

 ing " of liquid air, apparently associating the expression 

 with the phenomenon of boiling liquids by the applica- 

 tion of heat as for instance the boiling of water by 

 incandescent fuel. There is a vast difference between 

 the two phenomena. Water is boiled by means of 

 chemical reaction combustion, producing an excess of 

 free Ether which attacks the water molecules until they 

 become so surcharged with Ether that immense mole- 

 cular motion is produced and the water is then said to 

 boil. It- is a true push or pressure of Ether upon the 

 water molecules. 



The so-called " boiling " of liquid air arises from the 

 innate power of the liquid air molecules to revert to 

 their normal condition gaseous molecules. It is a 

 defect of Ether. In order to obtain this reaction the 

 liquid air molecule must attract and absorb Ether it
