266 THE UNIVERSE 



Mm, and go a step further and say there are many 

 reasons why nearly all suns and worlds are in- 

 habited. Reasoning from electric law and cosmo- 

 logical facts, our world, and its laws, forces and 

 creations, should be a fair sample of the laws, forces, 

 and creations of all worlds and planets. This is 

 in accord with universal chemistry, which teaches 

 that the same laws and substances exist through- 

 out all the realms of space. 



In reasoning on the formative period of our world, 

 we found the electric current to be the first form 

 of matter and force, or the first form of creative 

 manifestations in space. These currents antedate 

 all suns, worlds and visible objects. We also found 

 that all visible forms of matter were the aggregation 

 of billions of invisible atoms, and all visible matter 

 and forms were simply the outer garment and scaf- 

 folding of these invisible electric forces; that force 

 follows the law of motion, and atoms the law of 

 form obedient to the lines of motion. The second 

 step in planetary construction was the arrange- 

 ment of the atoms into crystalline formation, due to 

 opposite currents of electrical motion, and to atomic 

 balance. This produced the rock-ribbed foundations 

 of the earth and solidified it into a vast magnet 

 of marvelous force and power. 



Then when the crystalline rocks and metals were 

 settled into a crystalline globe throbbing with elec- 

 tric power, vegetation came and the electric life-cell 

 was formed as the first step towards organic life. 

 Then came the formation of nerve tissue as the 

 basis of form structure and the evolution of micro- 

 scopic life which developed under electric energy 

 into all forms of animal existence which now in-
