ELECTRICAL THEORY SAVES FROM PANTHEISM 301 



Now, there is such a receiver at Poldhu, in Corn- 

 wall, where the wires are precisely attuned to the 

 transmitter at Cape Cod; that is, their vibrations 

 are the same, say nine hundred thousand per second ; 

 so that the message sent from Cape Cod meets no 

 response until it finds its sympathetic station at 

 Poldhu, and this attracts and welcomes it. 



Marconi's system of wireless telegraphy is not an 

 invention, but a discovery of a natural law or pro- 

 cess which has been going on continuously through 

 all the realms of space since time began. 



The sun as the great source and center of energy 

 in our solar system is constantly sending out mes- 

 sages of light and life to his family of planets. It 

 is a scientific fact clearly proven that a ray of light 

 is an electric wireless message from the sun to the 

 earth, and it could not be received unless the earth 

 attracted it, and was attuned to it. For here the 

 same law prevails between sun and earth that 

 no message can be received except by some object 

 which is sympathetically attuned to it. 



Prof. Pupin suggests that a beam of light repre- 

 senting a certain number of vibrations per second, 

 intended to convey the color red, is sent forth from 

 the sun. It speeds through space until it reaches 

 the earth ; where intent upon its eager quest it passes 

 unresting through all the meadows, since no grass- 

 blade is adjusted to receive it; no daisy or buttercup, 

 no lily or heliotrope being disposed to welcome it; 

 it passes over all gardens until it finds a rose; and 

 here it pauses and finds welcome. Why ? Because the 

 rose has a natural affinity for it, and like two lovers 

 in mutual affection they meet and embrace each 

 other, and are blended in the harmonious union of
