CONSTITUENTS OF THE UNIVERSE. 



changes fully and fairly illustrated. When he 

 heats those materials sufficiently a radical 

 change takes place, and a real chemical com- 

 pound is the result; which no amount of mix- 

 ing and mingling would imitate. 



While the chemist always requires two or 

 more of his theoretical elements in connection 

 with his balky movement to produce nothing 

 but a mixture, there is at the same time, in 

 spite of his absurd theories, a mode of opera- 

 tion or manifestation from which real chemical 

 changes result. These changes are not mere 

 mixtures, in which nothing different appears; 

 for they are radical in the extreme. Now, the 

 reason why these radical changes, usually 

 termed chemical, manifest themselves, has 

 already been truthfully stated in saying that 

 changes only occur from collision or arrested 

 motion. 



When mechanical motion alone can be 

 changed to electrical movement in the man- 

 ner here indicated, giving us a change as radi- 

 cal as anything chemistry discloses, and all 

 this with but one item, instead of two or more
