And of Cell Life 43 



nating in the centre as a primal " group " is the force that governs 

 the quantity of matter that shall become a spherical mass. We have 

 shown the core to be the " brain " of the atom, so that the two 

 cores will be a sort of brain, each taking part in governing the man- 

 ner in which atoms shall group to form centres of force, wihch will 

 eventually bring forth solids, liquids and gases. 



One will govern the direction and speed at which atoms will move, 

 and the other the number of atoms that will form into groups, and 

 the manner in which these groups will arrange themselves. 



The pair of shells possess different characteristics also, and we will 

 find their differences in the atomic combinations making up the shell 

 of the atom or wall of the cell. 



The shell took from the core its products of combustion, and in 

 turn passed them out as organs of locomotion, or propulsion ; but 

 taking in return from the surrounding atmosphere of gaseous elec- 

 tricity the primal charges of electricity as a food, or a definit* 

 quantity of gaseous electricity that would fill the space left by th^ 

 charges taken from the wall by the core. There would be a force 

 of splitting up the whole into parts, representing the different 

 groups, in size, that would arise during the establishment of the 

 great mass of radiating charges as a spherical stratification con- 

 taining four centres. The collecting force originating in the centre 

 of the core, and multiplying by feeding from the breaking down of 

 the atomic grouping of the shell, would hold the whole mass as a 

 great radiating centre, because of the single atom in the primal 

 group of 3-4, when pairing was taking place. This would be con- 

 tinually breaking up the growth of pairs, and the atomic groupings 

 could not increase beyond the stage of growth represented in the 

 six stages, and during the rearrangement which made the whole a 

 radiating mass. 



The second kind would, as a shell, split up into innumerable parts 

 which would never condense beyond the same condition as that of 

 its mate, and the origin of " nebulous " masses would be ex- 

 plained. 



The great mass of radiating atoms would give us our sun, the 

 paired cores would separate as the moon and the earth. 



The atomic formatfons of the moon would govern the direction 

 and speed at which atoms should move, and the earth would act 

 as a centre of condensation, governed by definite numbers in the 

 grouping of individual atoms. The stars are, therefore, equal to 

 the mass of the sun, each star being equal in mass to the mass of a 

 part of the whole sun, as different groups of atoms acting as 

 centres of force around its circumference. As the shell took from 

 the atomosphere gaseous electricity to occupy the space of the 

 charges taken up by the core of the atom, so the sun must take 

 from the earth, under government of the moon, gaseous electricity 

 to occupy the space from which the radiations are projected into 

 surrounding space. The 3un-rays, acting as life-giving force, are 

 giving to the earth no more than it receives from it. 



The moon appears as a centre of distribution of electric charges
