No cohered matter can possibly be transparent except 

 through the vibrations of Phosphorous or the inertia 

 of embedded Phosphorous. 



15. The elements Nitrogen and Carbon are the 

 cause of all cohesion, in any form, and are the great 

 base of all metals. On account of the affinity between 

 Phosphorus and Hydrogen, and Phosphorus and Car- 

 bon, all effects that possess these elements in excessof 

 Nitrogen may be either transparent or rendered 

 translucent by the X Ray, or by other methods. 

 Nitrogen in certain relation with the other elements 

 is the absolute cause of all opacity. 



lb. Heat, either sensible in warmth or violently 

 disintegrating, results from the special vibration of 

 universally diffused Phosphorus. Latent heat results 

 from embedded Phosphorus in all matter, the vibra- 

 tions of which have been overcome by either Hydro- 

 gen or Nitrogen. 



17. Light is composed of a certain relation of 

 Phosphorus with the other three gases of the atmos- 

 phere. A great excess of Phosphorus in the atmos- 

 phere results in a great degree of Heat, which is only 

 another term for the disiiitegrating-vibration, incipient 

 or increased. Heat during refraction of sunlight, as at 

 night in summer, is a state of the atmosphere con- 

 taining an abnormal quantity of reflected or escaping 

 Phosphorus that has become implanted in matter 

 during the incandescent state. Sunstroke is an effect 

 of the Phosphorus of the atmosphere, which over- 

 charges the nerves and brain, and escapes from the 

 protective Hydrogen of these organs. 



18. The absolute source of all Motion throughout 

 the universe is the Phosphorus vibration, acting 

 under the universal law of Compression, or continuity 

 of matter. Outside of this fundamental law, there 

 could be no relation of the four gases and no cohered 

 matter or evolved forms. The inertia or rest of the 

 tour interlocked vibrations of the four gases manifests
