JOURNAT. AND PROCEEDINGS, 73 
are electrical, which is the earth’s surplus of electricity thrown off to 
the north and south, which is earth’s attempt to form corona like 
the sun, but the earth lacking in electricity must content itself with 
its gorgeous streamers as they reach out on their return voyage to 
the sun. The sun is one million three hundred thousand times 
larger than the earth, therefore if we multiply our beautiful aurora 
borealis by one million three hundred thousand the splendor would 
equal that of the sun. I have said from the ethereal realm of space 
the sun receives its great electric life-giving energy and power. It 
only gives as it receives, and by the convertability of electric energy 
into light and heat by friction and contact with opposite polarity we 
can readily understand that it is not essential to consume millions of 
God’s beautiful spheres or suns to afford us light and heat. 
There is no waste or loss of light, heat or vital energy in the sun 
or in the universe ; what is lost in one place is regained in another. 
Not one atom of matter or ampere of electricity has been destroyed 
or manufactured since the universe began, The sun sends its rays 
by wireless telegraphy to earth, and Marconi in sending electricity 
without wires simply imitates nature. Their transmitters and re- 
ceivers are attuned to each other like the sun and the earth, which 
send their electric energy from one to the other in perfect harmony 
and accord. ‘The earth has two hundred miles of atmosphere sur- 
rounding it. The sun is one hundred and eight times the diameter 
of the earth, and by the law of analogy and proportion should have 
an atmospheric cushion of twenty thousand miles surrounding it, and 
in this atmospheric belt is developed all the sun’s light, heat and 
vital force needed for his existence. There is an unanswerable fact 
that proves the sun’s corona is cold like our aurora, and that is the 
unquestioned fact that comets have passed through it three thousand 
miles without being affected in the slightest. These comets were 
excessively cold, and the corona must have been cold or there would 
have been a disastrous explosion. If I take two horseshoe magnets 
and place their positive and negative poles together they will cling 
until some stronger force overcomes their mutual attraction. If I 
reverse them and place their like poles together they will not cling 
but will repulse each other. In chemistry molecules of opposite 
polarity unite, and this is called chemical affinity. Molecules of 
like polarity will not unite, and this is called chemical repulsion.
