PRODUCES PHENOMENA OP NATURE 31 



chines of wood and glass and metal, but nature 

 makes them of flesh and blood and of all matter 

 and substance. Nature, the all-wise and mysterious 

 necromancer, makes nothing but electric machines 

 from the infinitesimal atom to the self-luminous 

 perfected dynamos the suns and stars. All things 

 that exist are electric generators or electric creations 

 of marvelous construction, power and utility; and 

 all expressions of form and power, all visible objects, 

 and all the varied phenomena of nature are pro- 

 duced by electric-magnetic energy. 



Franklin and Faraday, Harvey, Morse and Edison, 

 by their discoveries have taught us that as the 

 potter and the clay must come together to form 

 the rudest vessels, so creative electric force must 

 touch every sensitive atom in organic being; and 

 keep the wellsprings of life constantly flowing 

 through all life forms. There is no unfolding of 

 bud and blossom, tree and shrub, without the com- 

 ing and going of electric life-giving sunlight and 

 earth light. They pervade all bodies of matter, 

 whether world spheres or seed germs, and hold 

 communion with all atomic centers of sensation in 

 all living organisms. Atoms seek their electric affin- 

 ities, life-forces and life-forms touch each other by 

 the grasp of magnetic attraction and repulsion, 

 and these give personal sensations and vital forms 

 of being. 



Through the medium of electricity, material and 

 mental forces meet together upon the plane of 

 human consciousness. This is nature's method of 

 communication between the material and mental 

 within the human brain, which has been a puzzling 

 and difficult problem of physical science. The Ian-
