And of Cell Life 23 



stratification. Before any new form could begin, a start must be 

 made at the point of decomposition of some particular motion held 

 in the water-cell. The different kinds of motion (as electric charges) 

 produced different kinds of cells, but the number of kinds were 

 determined in the different kinds of charges which made up the 

 positive atom of electricity or the atom of matter. 



If there were a number of different kinds of charges in the atom 

 of matter, there must have been the same number of different kinds 

 of atoms, when each charge had acted the part as an initial stage in 

 the reconstruction of charges. 



We have shown the possibility of five different combinations 

 between electricity and magnetism, and, therefore, we have five 

 different kinds of atoms which will act the part of seeds in the 

 growth of material forms. The same conditions as are found to 

 govern to-day five distinct divisions in the history of the creation 

 of the earth and its life, and the two gaseous forces as inhalation 

 and exhalation, these forces having the same atomic values in 

 Nature's activities as we find represented as forms of life or mat- 

 ter. It is taking notice of the whole division of matter, from the 

 gaseous ether to the solid crystal, that will afford the key to the 

 opening of the door of mystery which has thus far barred the way 

 to the control of life. 



Sir Oliver Lodge has said that magnetism is electricity in rotation, 

 so that when we have a spherical cell under consideration we 

 have a force of electricity or electrons in continual motion in 

 circular form. 



The seven different kinds of atoms we have as a primal group, 

 will afford a grouping in two parts. As two of these atoms belong 

 to the forces of inhalation and exhalation, we would have a third 

 atom as a " neutral " atom, a centre about which the two opposite 

 motions (inhalation and exhalation, or towards a centre and from 

 a centre) would meet and accumulate charges until a critical condi- 

 tion or tension was reached, when the changing fields of ether 

 would break down the accumulations, and new centres would be 

 formed. To this phenomena we must attribute the origin of the 

 " Brownian " movement, now said to hold the secret of the control 

 of life. 



The other four atoms make up the seven as a whole group, a pair 

 of " inner cores " and a pair of " outer shells " or a grouping of 

 four atoms, where the continual readjustment of particles from a 

 centre to the outside, and from the external to the internal move- 

 ments, conditions we know to take place in the growth of organic 

 forms, as the smallest forms of cell life. 



The inner core of the atom must be considered as filled with 

 ether, as well as the space between the core and shell, because of 

 this internal -oxidation in living protein. This division of the 

 primal group into two parts, one a dynamic part, consisting of three 

 atoms, and a static part, made up of four atoms (representing the 

 origin of the grouping characteristic of the animal cell, where is 

 found the nucleus, nucleolus, the substance in which these two are
