46 Origin of the Chemical Elements 



The forces which are causing the moon to describe a serpentine 

 path in the heavens are described as '* a tension in the lines which 

 tends to bring the ends together as near as possible, while laterally 

 the lines tend to drive each other apart." 



The earth is continually expanding and contracting, because of 

 the continual changing of the fields of ether or gaseous electricity 

 passing from the circumference to the internal part and back again. 

 All atoms are " floating " in ether, and this ether is continually mak- 

 ing up charges of electricity, and as " rotating " centres it lorces 

 the expansion of the earth at definite periods of time. This phe- 

 nomena is spoken of as the tides, and as the same atomic combina- 

 tions are present in the moon, we have ascribed to that planet 

 the cause of the tides. All causes of any phenomena must be looked 

 for at the infinitesimal point of motion, and not at their " consum- 

 mation of accumulation." The earth is as much animal in her con- 

 struction as is man, and the earth breathes, and that breath is 

 forced through her by the condition of gases occupying space, and 

 all volcanoes are caused by " centres of radiating combinations 

 breaking forth into radio-active propulsion at definite periods of time 

 and at definite places on the earth's surface. 



We must not forget that the origin of the sun, moon, earth and 

 stars was centred in one indivisible mass, and if the sun shows 

 centres of explosive nature in sun-spots, the earth shows the same 

 explosive force in volcanoes, etc. 



The origin of meteorites and aerolites is a mystery, but their 

 atomic construction shows their formation through the accumula- 

 tion of centres in the atmospheres as three different conditions of 

 atomic grouping. The third atomic grouping, which separated the 

 group of four great radiating centres into the sun, moon, earth, and 

 stars, holds primal groupings, and in their occupation of space arise 

 the electric charges that pass to the sun, or to the earth, or to the 

 moon. Space must be kept occupied by centres of tension, and 

 when these centres reach their critical balance, if they all combine 

 to form solids, there will be very hard substances formed, because 

 of the infinitesimal size of primal particles. If the whole field 

 breaks up into primal groups, gases alone will be liberated. This 

 phenomena is the regular condition, but there must be times when 

 a field of such atomic groupings will combine as a whole indivisible 

 group, and the origin of meteors and aerolites must be looked for 

 in that part of the heavens. 



The different elements found in aerolites are given as follows : 

 silica, alumina, mgnesia, lime, oxide of iron, oxide of manganese, 

 potash, soda, sulphur, iron, nickel and chromium — twelve different 

 chemical bodies. We find the weights of each of these substances 

 contained in the primal grouping of the first six stages in accumula- 

 tion of atoms into groups. As there were seven different kinds of 

 atoms from which these groups arose, each of equal weight, their 

 differences arising from the kind of electric charge that provided 

 food for the growth of the atom in its process of decomposition, 

 there would also be seven different conditions or groupings of these
