1. All the matter within the universe, both within 



<>ur planetary system and without, as far as human 

 eye can reach through the most effective telescope 

 ever invented, is composed of four gases only. Conse- 

 quently, the seventy (and over) elements of the 

 science of chemistry, with these four exceptions only, 

 are an illusion, the means being at hand, at all times, 

 of disintegrating all of them into their natural con- 

 stituents. 



2. Oxygen does not exist as an element, hut is 

 composite. All metals are composed of the four 

 gases in cohesion, in varying proportions. Mercury is 

 composed of three gases. Chlorine of two gases. 

 Sulphur of two predominating gases, and lesser vibra- 

 tions of the other two. All of the other suspicious 

 elements of the science of chemistry, excepting the 

 four gases herein specified, are composed of the four 

 (or three) gases mentioned, in varying proportions. 



3. The chemical laboratory and spectrum analysis 

 furnish absolute proof of the composition of all the 

 so-called elements of the science of chemistry, with 

 four exceptions only, which are absolute elements. 



4. The four gases, or four elements of the universe, 

 are here named in the order of their importance : 



Hydrogen. 

 Phosphorus. 

 ( Jarbon. 

 Nitrogen.
