AND PERSONALITY 



When these free electrons come into the magnetic field 

 at the poles, they are deflected southward. Therefore, the 

 northern lights are not so marked around the magnetic 

 pole as they are at about 60 north latitude, where there 

 seems to be a band of highest intensity. From this band 

 southward, the impact upon the earth is increasingly 

 oblique; hence its force is diminished, and at the eauator 

 there is none. 



As the crow flies, the magnetic pole, which is in Boothia 

 peninsula, is about 800 miles north of Churchill; yet 

 throughout Hudson Bay the ships' compasses are so dis- 

 turbed that ships are obliged to carry a gyroscopic compass, 

 which is uninfluenced by the proximity of the magnetic pole. 



If the arctic region were bombarded in the same manner 

 by the radiant and electric energy that makes up the aurora 

 borealis, as the temperate and tropic regions are bombarded 

 by the radiant and electric energy that makes up terrestrial 

 electricity and lightning, nitrogen fixation would occur in 

 the cold air in the frigid zones, the fixed nitrogen would 

 gravitate to the sea, and plankton would be formed, just 

 as the smallest units on the land the Azotobacter of the 

 soil are accounted for through nitrogen fixation. 



Since the genesis of living forms is due to radiant and 

 electric energy and since the intensity of radiation and 

 electron bombardment is a measure of the intensity of the 

 aurora borealis, then at the band of greatest aurora in- 

 tensity it would appear that there should be found the 

 greatest massing of sea life; and so there is. 



The sea holds within it all the elements needed for the 

 formation of vegetable and animal life. In accordance with 

 this point of view, the sea is continually fertilized with 

 nitrates. In both the soil and the sea an infinity of living 

 ultramicroscopic and visible forms exist. From these emerg- 

 ing energy units tiny plankton and giant whales are formed.
