The Cause of Life and Motion 37 



before, we would still have a considerable total ac- 

 tion of the lower vibrations, though they would not 

 have power to control its movements. Now if 

 we should reduce the bar thus shortened, about 

 its new axis of vibration, preferably below it, we 

 would not by doing so, change the amplitude of 

 the lateral action above it, but we should put the 

 bar in a condition to be controlled by that action, 

 and by these means the original note of the bar 

 could be reproduced, although it would lack 

 power. This lack of power would ensue princi- 

 pally from a loss of action of the forces at the 

 upper end of the bar, in consequence of its longi- 

 tudinal displacement being made less by the lat- 

 eral reduction. 



Experiments have shown that sound produces 

 geometric figures of color on a soap film. The 

 actual outlines of the polyhedrons of the Celes- 

 tial forces may be seen on the film, and more 

 than that, they cleave the film in their lines of 

 action. These facts while they point to the ex- 

 istence of the Celestial forces, also show that 

 sound enters into a composition with the parti- 

 cles of light, from which it would appear that 

 sound may yet be the means of distant graphic 

 communication.

We have been taught that all the knowledge we 

 have of an object we see is derived from two
