130 THE UNIVERSE 



There are no dead worlds or planets or burning 

 suns in this electric universe, and we are not "the 

 only pebble on the boundless beach" of creative 

 worlds. We have the same electric fire in our bodies 

 that is in the sun, and it neither burns us nor causes 

 us to shrink up annually, as the scientists say the 

 sun does. It is not the consumer of life, but the 

 giver of life, and the continual life energy of the 

 universe. 



During a recent eclipse of the moon, Prof. W. 

 H. Pickering, of Harvard Observatory, ascertained 

 that the bright spot around the crater Linne on the 

 surface of the moon grows considerably larger when 

 deprived of the heat of the sun. For many years 

 it has been noticed that the Linne area has been 

 gradually changing and many theories regarding 

 the causes have been advanced. 



Prof. Pickering is inclined to the belief that it 

 is hoar frost or ice. This tends to confirm my 

 theory that the moon has an atmosphere and some 

 moisture which is mostly hidden in its perforated 

 volcanic surface. 



Alexander Young, an astronomer of Laport, Ind., 

 announced on February 20th. 1903, that, "from 

 observations made by him, he is confident that 

 the sun is inhabited; that with his instruments he 

 has seen on the sun's surface mountain sides with 

 great and precipitous rocks which glow with pris- 

 matic colors, mingled with the greenness of peren- 

 nial vegetation." 



I was not expecting this scientific proof so soon, 

 but I am satisfied that the inhabitants, the moun- 

 tains and the perennial vegetation are there; and 

 if he has succeeded in magnifying the rays of light
