six Stages, and it would be in the decomposition of the groups into 

 primal quantities of gaseous electricity that minerals would be 

 formed as definite groups in atomic accumulation. These new for- 

 mations would also show why different elements are always asso- 

 ciated in masses in the earth. 



Of the number of aerolites analyzed, and given as examples of 

 their composition, the number of different elements in their indi- 

 vidual composition are 7, 8, 8, 11, 4, 7. The explanation is their 

 origin as parts of a magnetic field in the atmosphere as a point of 

 internal stratification, because if it had been internal and external, 

 nothing but gaseous electricity would have been liberated. 



As the primal grouping of atoms consist of 3-4 and its attendant 

 mass of ether, this static group of 4 must enter into the composi- 

 tion of every element formed, and we must. look to the pairing 

 of this group to explain the numbers that make up atomic 

 groupings. 



The weight of silicon is 28, and its origin must be traced to the 

 pairing of the fours in 16, and 12, or three 4's and four 4's, or 

 seven in all. This combination would make silicon possess three 

 different conditions, because of its growth through the dynamic as 

 well as the static part of the primal system. It would arise as a 

 growth of the first three stages, as (3-4), (6-8), (3-4) and mass of 

 ether, and before it became static in the whole field, would go 

 through three processes of groupings, yet each process would make 

 an atom of silicon. The third process would be equal to a negative 

 electrified force and the brilliant plates which form one of its con- 

 ditions would thus be explained. The fact that silica constitutes 

 the principal portions of most of the hard stones and minerals 

 which compose the crust of the globe, is a proof of the correctness 

 of this system of (3-4) with its mass of ether, because at this third 

 stage of increase, the whole mass of matter would have to yield 

 this substance as its outer formations, because of its position in 

 decomposition and reconstruction, in the primal system of group- 

 ing. Silicon as a primal formation would be associated with 

 water, and its condition as silica would arise because of the decom- 

 position of the water atom supplying a source of " food." It 

 would thus receive its association with oxygen from that element's 

 presence in the water atom or water cell, as H2O. The reason that 

 the crust of the earth was formed of silicates of alumina, lithia, 

 potash, lime, etc., is because the decomposition of the water-cell 

 liberated pairs of 4's, which when beiftg reconstructed would make 

 up a new centre of force. Water, as a spherical stratification in 

 the new growths, arising from the second increase, containing (3-4), 

 with its mass of ether, (6-8), (3-4) » with its mass of 

 ether, would actually be a living one-walled cell, because 

 this stage would have to pass through three stages of 

 displacement of atoms before it became balanced throughout its 

 parts. The tw^ masses of ether in the new growths would 

 become rotating fields of ether, and the walls would be made up of 

 four groups of four atoms in each group, the final evolution of which
