And of Cell Life 21 



ernment of direction and the distance an electron should move, we 

 are brought to its greatest height in development in the construction 

 of the brain of man. The brain is a spongy mass, or the kind of 

 structure described as ** sea-foam " in protoplasm. This sea- foam, 

 as a primal form of equal distribution of groups in spherically 

 stratified electric charges making up an electrostatic field of force 

 composed of all the different kinds of electric charges, grouped 

 in centres as points of balance, has, as a process of accumulation, 

 pushed its place in nature's constructions as the brain, and the 

 brain is the inner core, ^nd the trunk the outer shell, of the human 

 atom. 



The trunk of the animal form is the place where food is manu- 

 facture;! into atomic weights, of definite combinations, these com- 

 binations being distributed in their most infinitesimal parts by 

 means of the blood-vessels, the walls and the blood plasma taking 

 equal part in the carrying of the blood corpuscles, through the 

 force of osmotic pressure in the walls, as an internal or push from 

 the membraneous centres in their decomposition, and the opposite 

 push as " plasmolysis," or the decomposition of the water cell into 

 primal gases or ether. The walls of the blood-vessels fill the same 

 place in the activities of vital processes as are carried on in the 

 constitution of the cell-wall, this same cell-wall being " supposed " 

 to be " not alive." 



The reason man has not understood the physical construction of 

 the cell-wall is because he has failed to recognize the substance 

 occupying the space between the nucleus and its wall, and also 

 between the inner core of the atom and its outer shell. 



Professor E. Pfluger, of the University of Bonn, suggested, many 

 years ago, that the essential difference between living protein and 

 non-living protein lay in the fact that in the former, oxidation or 

 transformation of energy is internal, and in order to account for 

 this internal oxidation, the possible presence of cyanogen (a com- 

 pound of carbon and nitrogen) might have been produced during 

 the incandescent stage of the earth's history. 



The origin of living cells must be looked for at the place of 

 decomposition and reconstruction of electric charges into primal 

 ether, this ether taking the part of exhalation and inhalation, or 

 the breath of life. We will be able to prove, further on, that it is 

 not cyanogen or carbon or nitrogen which forms the basis of vital 

 processes, but the fixed combination of different kinds of electric 

 charges, making up a definite number of atoms, all containing the 

 same weight, but representing different positions in space, because 

 of different degrees of expansion, or conditions of "tension." 



The physicist, in his endeavor to produce " artificial life," has 

 been successful only in obtaining proof that it is in the generation 

 of gases by the action of one chemical substance on another, that 

 the likeness of the vital processes has been demonstrated, even in 

 the slightest degree. That this likeness has been possible has only 

 been so because of the presence of water as a primeval one-walled 

 cell. The so-called artificial forms can only grow or develop
