Gases and Liquids. 105 



According to the " Molecular Theory " the atoms 

 in gases, liquids, and solids, even in diamonds, are in 

 intense motion, this motion being a sort of zigzag 

 millions of times in a second. The motion of atoms 

 will thus be in degrees of intensity from a gas to a 

 diamond. 



Gases and liquids in whatever form, as products of 

 the earth, are subject to the action of our Primary 

 Laws. 



In simple gases of one element or class, the atoms 

 as magnets must arrange themselves by the law of 

 Like- material -attraction, Unlike -material-repulsion, 

 and Polarity. In sexual gases, the molecules meet, 

 reciprocate, and arrange themselves by Dual or Sexual- 

 material-selection and Polarity. Further, while the 

 atoms and molecules are ever in intense motion, order 

 is maintained everywhere and at all times by the ever 

 dominant influence of polarity. 



While thus demonstrating the persistent and in- 

 destructible energy of gases and liquids, a far-reaching 

 question might arise : Is not this energy the basis of 

 the energy of all bodies composed of the same con- 

 stituents ? If the gaseous atoms are the basis of all 

 animal substance, is not their energy the basis of all 

 animal energy, even of their life ? We think so. 



Further, from the inviolability with which gaseous 

 molecules act, select, and arrange themselves, a more 

 startling question might be : Is not this molecular 

 accuracy the germ of all animal intelligence! We 

 again think so,
