28 Origin of the Chemical Elements 



number at any point of space arising from the force of magnetism 

 generated by a charge in uniform motion, as described by Lodge. 



Before a balanced condition in the construction of atoms would 

 be reached, there would be built up four atoms as an indivisible 

 group, because of the electrostatic lines of force — show a tension 

 at right angles, and the magnetic lines are at right angles to those 

 of the electrostatic ones; so that there are four lines of force to be 

 balanced in the charges produced by the decomposition of a mag- 

 netic field of force or of " matter." 



Sir Oliver Lodge has said a negative electron can travel without 

 any association with matter. Does not the negative electron obtain 

 its power to travel, apparently alone, from the force of combustion 

 of the charges released in the decomposition of a positive magnetic 

 field of gaseous electricity, each part of which is equal to the mass 

 of the positive atom of electricity or of matter? 



However, we know that in the radium atom we have all the 

 centres of activity held in this group of three or four as a primal 

 group of atoms in the construction of material forms, and we will 

 be able to prove the origin of radium itself in this grouping of four 

 as an internal force of " oxidation," found only in that activity 

 which constitutes the " vital processes of life." 



In following the development or growth of this system, we will 

 consider the group of three to constitute the origin of the brain, and 

 the group of four the trunk of the body. Under such a conception, 

 these two groups will have to be considered as separate in some 

 phases of their multiplication, while in others a collective or a union 

 of the two may be shown. 



The construction of the atom, as described, will show the govern- 

 ment of accumulation amongst primal values of gaseous electricity 

 in atomic combinations to be a continuous growth, as doubling, 

 because of the readjustment of perpendicular and horizontal lines of 

 force (carrying matter) through electrical and magnetic energies. 



As there are three different positions in which gaseous electricity 

 occupy space in and about the atom of matter, and these three 

 positions are held as such by electrons or ether moving in opposite 

 directions, as food taken in by one part of the atom, and life-products 

 given off in return, in both core and wall, there will of necessity be 

 six stages in multiplication, as fission, or doubling, before the fields 

 of gaseous electricity become equally balanced throughout the mass 

 of gaseous electricity representing the whole occupying space. 



If we increase this^ Primal System of three and four six times, 

 we will have the weights of all the different chemical substances 

 which could enter into the final evolutionary product of an indi- 

 visible " spherically stratified " atom, which has been called the 

 human atom, or the animal cell. 



The manner of increasing these fixed groupings must be followed 

 so as to ensure the construction of the individual forms of life, 

 representing the smallest as well as the greatest, and in order to do 

 this we must have in every stage of increase all that which has 

 preceded it.
