This places the nature of matter upon the same 

 basis as the origin of power. The transformation of 

 force into material is impossible. Force follows the 

 laws of motion, and atoms the law of form obedient 

 to the lines of motion." This is well stated. 



This author says further : ' l The atom has the power 

 to assume form and create form, and matter and 

 force cannot be transformed into each other." Then 

 this power or force must come from electricity, the 

 primary force in nature; and it has power to assume 

 form and create form by reason of electric energy 

 controlled by spirit intelligence. In planetary con- 

 struction the first thing that meets our vision is the 

 arrangement of the atoms in crystalline forma- 

 tion, which is the foundation of all planetary struc- 

 ture. The atoms in space continually change their 

 relative positions and construct world forms and 

 organic forms of beauty and power. They settle 

 into globular spheres with all the precision of a 

 trained army or a disciplined mass of life and 

 energy, forming the crystalline masses that compose 

 the primitive foundations of the earth. 



Polarity has much to do with the phenomena of 

 crystallization. The same author says : " Polarity is 

 the result of the transverse lines in which the atoms 

 move previous to their comparative arrest. The 

 planet as a globe can have only two poles, but the 

 crystal has as many as the lines of direction in 

 which the moving atoms cross each other's path." 



In interstellar space he affirms the atomic rela- 

 tions of the elements are undisturbed by any power 

 that would tend to divert the atom from its move- 

 ment in a straight line; force is transmitted from 

 atom to atom without any effect upon its motion
