DEVELOPMENT OF ELECT 



I was pleased to .see that you 

 in a recent issue of your paper fo: 

 this subject by Mr. Whittlesey ol 

 Ohio ; and with your permission 

 the results of my own obseryatio: 

 mena (including electricity) and i: 

 sense derivation of their cause. 



I may premise that I do not q 

 scientific facts or observations bu 

 denounce'the theoretic treatment 

 by scientists. 



Mr. Whittlesey truly says in hi; 

 produced by you, " to study the < 

 force satisfactorily, the existing c 

 first be thoroughly studied," and 

 greater number of observed resu 

 that we can trace to one cause, th 

 be our comprehension of the r< 

 selves ; if the general circulation 

 vades our planet, in the rocks, in 

 in the atmosphere, in other pla: 

 traced to one cause, the study of 

 manifestations will be greatly sim 

 for this purpose that I call atten 

 everlasting change of temporal nn 

 law of nature." 



The question is, " what is the e 

 everoctin^ change, of temperature 



We will endeavour to* answer 

 those changes in matte* where ele 

 heat are exhibited to their origin ( 

 The most brilliant and powerfu 

 of electricity we find arising in tin 

 from the clouds, aurora, and me 

 also exhibited from vegetables . 

 when in life, and also can be pro 

 all those conditionally ; but we < 

 electricity in the earth or in the s< 

 may conclude that if electricity is 

 vading, the cause producing it in t 

 positions must be all-pervading. 

 Therefore to find the cause ^

produced only where there would be a 

 suitable compound of the mineral and veget- 

 able to produce the spark or combustion as 

 we see it, so according to the positijn of the 

 sun and earth anl the condition of the atmos- 

 phere would be that light and heat produced 

 and exhibited. 



Therefore the variety of temperature as no- 

 ticed by Mr. Whittlesey is owing to, or caused 

 by the various conditions and positions of those 

 elementary gases through their different pro- 

 perties ; i. e. : the mineral is naturally cold but 

 is combustible, it is produced at any temper 

 ature, the vegetable is naturally warm and 

 supports combustion, it is produced by heat 

 only. 



Finding electricity, or heat, to be thus pro- 

 duced by the reciprocal action of atoms in 

 either gaseous, liquid or solid state we must 

 conclude that it cannot be the producer of any 

 natural production or a " univcral " agent, 

 but merely takes its place in the life action of 

 the whole materials from which it originates. 



Water being composed of two classes is the 

 principal or grand agent to excite the atoms 

 through their spiritual or magnetic /oree in th?t 

 dissolving and reproducing action, which seems 

 to be identical with a so-called " mysterious 

 and inexplicable " action which oursavans call 

 " CHEMICAL !" 



Therefore by experiment and observation 

 from effectsto their cause, we arrive at the simple. 

 truth, that ALL natural phenomena originate 

 through and from a spiritual or magnetic force 

 or influence thaj, is inherent in atoms, which 

 is a component part of each atom and is con- 

 trolled or governed by its dual law i. e., like 

 atoms attract and repel their like and those of 

 their class only ; like poles repel and opposite 

 or, rather, unlike poles attract, the greater in- 

 fluencing the less. 



This dual law and action can be seen in 

 atoms of iron by any that are inclined to 

 make use of their common sense and ascertain 

 the truth (I do not include our scientist::) ai>d 

 similar actions and results may be found 

 throughout all atoms or the whole of their 

 various compounds according to their com- 

 position, condition, and position in the 

 mineral, vegetable and animal, individually, 

 and again collectively, in the earth, sea and 

 atmosphere as one stupendous whole harmoni- 

 ously working together under One law. 



Thus who can form an iden. nf tl>r> Av/.l,;fnf?
