PRESENT SCIENCE IS CHAOTIC 147 



tube, and they have been puzzled ever since to 

 know what holds the atoms or molecules together 

 in organized form. They undertake to say it is 

 gravity, but gravity is weight, and atoms have no 

 weight, and they are forced to look to electricity 

 and magnetism to solve the question. And the elec- 

 tric theory gives the only rational explanation, which 

 is, that all things are held together by magnetic 

 attraction or cohesion under the laws of organic 

 affinity. The molecules of iron, stone and marble 

 do not touch each other, but their magnetic at- 

 traction is stronger than that of wood or hay; 

 that is why they have more solidity, strength and 

 endurance. Science said we could not look through 

 a grindstone or any solid matter, but we can. We 

 can look through men, grindstones, iron and brick 

 walls, and if we could turn on sufficient electric power 

 we could look through the earth and take photo- 

 graphs of Chinamen on the other side of the 

 globe. 



Prof. Serviss, in the New York Jornal of October 

 1st, 1902, calls attention to "the remarkable growth 

 of speculation concerning electric or electro-magnetic 

 influences exercised over the earth by the sun and 

 planets," and says : "They have been seized upon 

 by astrological soothsayers to bolster up their 

 pretended science." 



As I have never taken any interest in astrology, 

 but have taken great interest in the electro-magnetic 

 power of the sun, I am surprised at the obtuseness 

 that would undertake to blend them together when 

 they have no scientific relation. 



Astrology undertakes to reveal the future by the 

 position and influence of the stars, and is entirely
