48 Origin of the Chemical Elements 



brought forth the four great centres of radiating charges, which 

 laid the foundations for the sun, moon, earth and stars. 



The cell formation of water explains the origin of " internal oxi- 

 dation." This primal growth of atoms, spherically stratified, as a 

 wall enclosing two rotating masses of primeval ether, in opposite 

 directions, the wall being formed after the same manner as the 

 atom itself, as masses of rotating charges at different points of the 

 sphere, when these charges as " groups " making up the wall grew 

 to the point of critical change, the parts would decompose into 

 crystalline particles or groups of static form, and these crystals 

 would be carried by the rotating charges as bones for the new 

 accumulations. These " bones " laid the foundations of the earth, 

 and water as a living cell makes Eozoon Canadense an animal 

 formation, its internal oxidation showing as currents of water in 

 the tubuli. 



As the physicist has directed attention to the possible solution of 

 the origin of life in the electrical constitution of matter, the assertion 

 that life is a result of mere chemical affinity is not borne out, because 

 all forms of matter owe their construction to a great law of balance 

 working out through the whole mass of matter occupying space. 



The "survival of the fittest" is not an explanation of the contin- 

 uance of certain species of life, but this continuance depends on the 

 length of time such a group of " gaseous electricity " in all stages of 

 motion can hold its position in certain places in space, or the point 

 as a field of force, of either large or small dimensions, making up 

 the whole gaseous envelope of the earth. 



Believing that a sufficient explanation has been given of the origin 

 of the elements and of cell life, we will now pass on to the explana- 

 tion of the illustration of plates i, 2, 4, 16, where we will find the same 

 indivisible chain linking the formation of man with that of Eozoon 

 Canadense, and prove that man did not descend from a single cell, 

 but from a combination of 3-4 atoms, with its breath of life ap- 

 portioned to it, and that breath of life has increased as the com- 

 binations increased. That by this "breath of life" alone has man 

 descended to the earth, and his atomic construction was determined 

 when the primal system of 3-4 atoms with their mass of ether be- 

 came a brain and a body that could work out a final condition of 

 temperature, where he could live without the consciousness that 

 he was "alone."
