PRODUCES PHENOMENA OF NATURE 47 



trie. Thomson's theory is that negative electricity 

 is matter. Lodge holds that all matter down to 

 the ultimate corpuscle is electricity or electrical 

 substance. Thus I am sustained by the highest 

 most recent authority. 



Prof. E. L. Larkin, of the California University, 

 said recently : "The earth has a permanent charge 

 of negative electricity, and the atmosphere is pos- 

 itive. The surface potential is therefore very near 

 zero. This permits electro-magnetic waves from the 

 sun to act with unabated energy." Prof. Lucien I. 

 Blake of the Kansas University said in a recent 

 lecture : "All atoms of matter are charged with 

 electricity. All vital actions are always connected 

 with electricity." 



I could fill a volume with recent statements of 

 scientists showing that electricity produces all the 

 phenomena of nature, all of which they have learned 

 in the last few years, while as a pioneer in this 

 field of thought I have been trying to propagate 

 these electrical theories for many years. 



Every year new facts are discovered showing that 

 electricity is the cosmic, evolving, ultimate and only 

 force in nature and the universe is a vast electric 

 machine or organism moved by electric currents 

 of measureless force and power. The earth revolves 

 around the sun, the sun gravitates around some 

 siderial center in motion like itself, and myriads of 

 suns and planets with their countless population 

 move with many times the velocity of a cannon 

 ball. Stars that seem tranquil and motionless in 

 the heavens are projected through space with a 

 velocity of one hundred to two hundred miles per 

 second. The constituent atoms of our bodies move
