tween them to hold them apart. Why? Because 

 they have like polarities or become alike electrified 

 as they approach each other. This without any other 

 reason is sufficient to forever prevent collisions be- 

 tween the sun systems of the universe. 



Electrical repulsion keeps our earth and the planets 

 from falling into the sun. Why? Because our earth 

 and the planets, when they approach within a cer- 

 tain distance of the sun, may become similarly elec- 

 trified to the sun, and are thrown back to their 

 proper and balanced orbit. Electrical repulsion 

 keeps all satellites from falling into their primary 

 planets. Why? Because they have like polarities, 

 and are positive or negative like their primaries, 

 and repulse each other. Thus each and all the 

 suns, planets and satellites continue in their orbits 

 of balanced forces, and will always continue and are 

 as eternal as the laws of electro-magnetism that 

 created and upholds the universe. 



The same law applies to comets. Why does the 

 comet, when it approaches just so near to the sun, 

 dart away so quickly? Because it becomes alike 

 electrified as the sun, and the law of repulsion strikes 

 it like the blow of a mammoth triphammer and 

 hurls it in the opposite direction. This is one 

 reason; there may be others, for the laws of repul- 

 sion are as many and various as the laws of attrac- 

 tion. 



The scientists in all ages have been fascinated 

 with fearful, grim and dismal pictures of the end 

 of the world. Like the theologians who delighted 

 to paint the tortures of the fiery tophet of their 

 imagination, the scientists have exhausted their 

 wildest fancy in picturing the sun consumed with
