38 Origin of the Chemical Elements 



preceding six stages of growth, and the continual decomposition of 

 these primal values affords a fixed kind of food as " motions " for 

 the new growths. 



If we take this central group (96-128) as a point about which suc- 

 ceeding collections will group we will have to find a preparation for 

 the government of the primal system of 3-4 atoms with its mass of 

 ether. If we divide these numbers by 3 and 4 we find there are 32 

 atoms in each. If we add up the values of the groups preceding and 

 succeeding this central group, we have 93 and 124 to be equally 

 divided amongst the parts of 3-4. This division yields 31 in each 

 part and there are 31 on each side that will act as " food " for each 

 of the groups of 32 in future growths. What does this prophesy? 



The direction in which the magnetic fields move are at right 

 angles to those of the electrostatic ones, so that these groups arising 

 will form a perpendicular line as groups of 4 in the central 

 group of 32, and there will be a continual piling up of square plates 

 from this centre of 32 (8 to each increase) and the atoms or cells 

 arising from the 31 pairs will be attached to these squares. This 

 formation portends the formation of the vertebrae w'th its 31 pairs 

 of spinal nerves. 



The spinal nerves are enumerated as eight cervical, twelve dorsal, 

 five lumbar, and six sacral pairs. The cervical pass off to their 

 distribution transversely, the dorsal obliquely, and the lum"bar and 

 sacral vertically. 



Professor Owen says, "The bones of the skull are metamorphosed 

 vertebrae, four of which appear to have undergone change." The 

 bones of the skull are no more metamorphosed vertebrae than are 

 the primitive rocks " metamorphic rocks." The bones of the skull 

 represent the " occupation of space " by combinations of atomic for- 

 mations made up of primal groups, thus containing the most 

 infinitiesimal particles to be found in material form, and so the 

 most compact. 



The foundations of the earth, or deposition of material which 

 formed the rocks, are found in the same position as described in 

 the direction in which the spinal nerves are found, as transversely, 

 oblique and vertical. 



In the grouping of numbers characterizing the vertebrae and 

 spinal nerves we have the primal system of 3-4 with its attendant 

 mass of ether, in six stages of growth under four different electro- 

 magnetic combinations. The whole mass is a negative equalization 

 of groups, consisting of 4, 8, 16, because these values must first be 

 grown as an " indivisible magnetic field," before their individuality 

 as " pairs " can be effected through the force of magnetism as 

 " rotating electricity." 



The 12 dorsal pairs originate in the magnetic field, grown from 

 the grouping forces of 3, 6, 12 under like magnetic control. 



The five lumbar are an equal field, made up of the five different 

 kinds of electric charges between electricity and magnetism, or 

 " rotating electricity " moving in five directions.
