enabled it to hold itself from dissolution tinder ad- 

 verse conditions and planetary changes. The action 

 of electric force in building secondary forms with a 

 magnetism of their own is one of the most wonderful 

 exhibitions of nature. 



And now comes a startling result of this type of 

 energy that has called living organism into being 

 from the lower grades of atomic life. The cells that 

 have formed themselves around a central point, as in 

 the crystalline state, begin to quiver and vibrate with 

 a strong rapidity that defies all power of restraint. 

 In them is to be seen a new relation of the elements 

 that grade still higher in the scale of atomic action. 

 They have risen in the power of sensitiveness above 

 the plane of receptive response to the swaying cur- 

 rents of the earth, and begin to send out currents of 

 their own. Those currents penetrate the whole sys- 

 tem with strange energy, and the organism begins 

 to respond with new expressions of power. It moves 

 with reference to the currents that it creates itself, 

 and we have the first type of creation with a brain 

 center governing the whole system. 



That brain tissue is the result of the action in- 

 direct of the electric energy that is sweeping the 

 planet in ceaseless lines of force and power. It 

 sends its induced currents upon all the forming host 

 of animalcular life floating in the dark waters, and 

 some begin to grow brains. ^^^^ 



The cellular structure ranges itselfm line with the 

 positive and negative polarity that made the crystal- 

 line form of the world a globe, and from that living 

 cell-battery go out the currents that control the 

 form by the inward force that ever after is to witness 

 to the power of constructive energy to create living
