ELECTRIC UNIVERSE ETERNAL 261 



plants and vegetables before we used them, and will 

 be in millions of bodies yet uncreated. They have 

 been tossed by winds, hurled and threshed about 

 by tornadoes and cyclones, drowned in the sea, and 

 buried in the earth and often digested by other 

 animals before they came to rest under balanced 

 electric forces in our bodies. 



Every atom in our bodies have been to the sun 

 and back billions of times and will be again. They 

 have been renewed by the electric currents of the sun, 

 by the energy of the soil, by the electro-magnetic 

 ether of space, and are as eternal as law and destiny. 



In like manner, the elements of the sun are con- 

 stantly being renewed and invigorated, and he has 

 an area of six billions of miles in diameter from 

 which to draw virgin atoms, and like a great 

 sea of inexhaustible force, it is the fountain from 

 which he receives his measureless power and in- 

 destructible life and energy. For he is the central 

 dynamo and electric heart of the solar system, 

 and with his family of planets is floating in a bound- 

 less sea of electro-magnetism that has no limit of 

 life and energy. The sun may send a different kind of 

 wireless electricity to each of the planets, and each 

 of the planets may return a different kind of elec- 

 tricity to the sun. Thus these electric currents may 

 pass and repass between sun and planets and be re- 

 energized and used over and over again, just as 

 the atoms of our bodies and all earthly molecules 

 are used over and over again. 



Thus the sun constantly renews and invigorates 

 himself and all the elements of the solar system, 

 and can never come into "a state of exhaustion/' 

 as so graphically described.
