indicate the lines of electric energy and magnetic 

 force in atomic activity and molecular formations, 

 which are the beginning of all visible material crea- 

 tions. 



The shaping of the molecules of the so-called 

 cosmic elements by electric energy into crystalline 

 form is the second great step in world building. 

 While magnetism (the dual force of electricity) 

 serves to hold the form-structure in more or less 

 enduring relations, for the magnet has the power to 

 radiate atomic force in circles and tends to draw 

 the elements into form and hold them there. The 

 electric force keeps the atoms always moving; the 

 magnetic force keeps them or would keep them in 

 atomic balance, or at rest, but electricity keeps 

 magnetism always on the alert, and between the 

 action of the two, or attraction and repulsion, all 

 visible forms are evolved and dissolved. 



Thus magnetism is the centripetal force, of plan- 

 etary construction, and electricity the centrifugal 

 power of planetary changes, and upon these two de- 

 pend all the complex varieties of inorganic and or- 

 ganic forms that exist. And so long as they exist 

 with their powers of atomic motion so long will world 

 building and form building continue, and must con- 

 tinue through the aeons .of creative force. 



The magnetic state of the earth, with the pulsating 

 currents of electric force in the atomic and radiant 

 form, plays a sovereign part in the economy of na- 

 ture and makes the planet itself alive with creative 

 force and evolving power. 



To demonstrate electrical power in world building 

 and the shifting relations of the elements in the 

 planetary combinations, watch the electric plating
