both leaves, stems, flowers and fruit. Tendrils con- 

 tain predominating Nitrogen and Carbon. The affin- 

 ity of certain atoms of certain plants for the atoms of 

 inorganic matter, aided by other conditions, causes ivy 

 to climb a wall, and engenders the entire family of 

 parasitic plants. After the escape of Hydrogen, dur- 

 ing the fall, all parts of plants curve, through the 

 superior force of ( iarbou. In the animal kingdom the 

 curved travel of Carbon and Nitrogen may be wit- 

 nessed everywhere. The twist of a pig's tail and thai 

 of the English pug dog are the results of superior 

 Carbon vibrations during growth. The curved bris- 

 tles and tusks of the wild boar mark a excessive de- 

 gree of the Carbon. The trichina spiralis also betrays 

 the special Carbon vibration, a little Phosphorus only 

 being needed to start the little mass of Carbon atom- 

 into an animal. The tu>ks of the walrus and of the 

 elephant, as well as the trunk of the latter, are the 

 direct results of the superior force of Carbon. The 

 resemblance between a hog's snout and the terminus 

 of the elephant's trunk, betrays the effect of Carbon. 

 The twisted haii' of the African proceeds from the 

 same canst' ; also, do all curly hair and curves (espe- 

 cially the ribs) throughout the animal kingdom pro- 

 ceed from the travel of the same element. It is 

 through this method of pursuing a single elemenl 

 throughout nature, and identifying its characteristics 

 in different forms that one is led to identify the ele- 

 ment Carbon in the curved travel of Magnetic force. 

 The attraction that exists between a natural magnet, 

 therefore, and a piece of artificially-prepared iron that 

 has embedded much Phosphorus and Hydrogen during 

 the Heat process of extracting it from the ore, is simply 

 the natural attraction of the elements Carbon and 

 Phosphorus of the magnetic body, for the Phosphorus 

 and Hydrogen of the soft iron. In the latter body 

 the state of inertia is easily susceptible of rupture, 

 especially by the united force of Carbon and Phos-
