52 Origin of the Chemical Elements 



repulsed from the two parts, devouring the substance in which 

 the cells lay, the rods being actually the result of a process of 

 separating substance, making the wall and the contents two indi- 

 viduals, or a male and female. When the two cells are forced 

 together by the separation of the parts into opposite movements, 

 new forms must be the product of this union. The part of the 

 cell that decomposes into primal ether is the part that is forced 

 to move in an opposite direction, and the changing fields of ether 

 produce a change in the path of electrons, and also bring into oppo- 

 sition electric charges which produce radiations. Now the great 

 question before the physicist is, what is the meaning of sex? We 

 have that question answered in the recognition that sex is the result 

 of an occupation of space by two rotating fields of ether moving 

 in opposite directions. Their contact will force a change of path in 

 their groupings as electrons and as electric charges, and thus all 

 forms of life will have their conception " in a flame," or in the 

 midst of a field of luminiferous ether. 



Sir Oliver Lodge says, the only way to produce radiation is by 

 forcing a change in the orbital path of electrons, also by the 

 retardation and acceleration of electric charges. 



These two rotating fields of ether are made up of a definite 

 number of parts as groups of electrons, and of electric charges. 

 The female field is an indivisible collection, the collecting forces 

 moving to a centre. The male is a field constantly breaking up 

 its mass into parts, each part representing the same number as a 

 group, a number of which makes up the female field. The number 

 and kinds of groups in each field are equal ; one is a centre of con- 

 densation, the other a centre of decomposition. 



We thus see the meaning of sex. The continuous production of 

 light brought forth the different forms of matter and of life, and 

 the continuance of light is dependent upon the continuance of re- 

 production of sex. 



Is it not evident that the final product of light must be a creature 

 that will ensure a continuous luminosity through its cell activities, 

 as a reflex action of those primal groups that brought forth the 

 creature as a product of light? 



The female form of a field of ether, containing all that is found 

 in the male field as a force of separation, must have been the centre 

 for the collection of charges as forms of matter, in which new 

 forms of life arose. The groups of charges would be constantly 

 increasing in numbers, and the balance would not be perfected 

 until the whole mass of matter had undergone a change of motion. 

 The new forms of life would possess a mother in solids as matter, 

 but a father in groups of luminiferous ether. The water-cell must 

 have been a female cell, and the field of ether surrounding that cell 

 the male, or decomposition force. 



As material forms arose from the production of radiations, radio- 

 active atoms must have been forced into a static position, as a mag- 

 netic field of electric charges. This primal system of 3-4 atoms 

 with its attendant mass of ether would represent the male decom-
