more than 100,000,000 times in a second of time ; but Keely, 

 who has outrun all researchers on these lines, has produced 

 700,000,000 vibrations per second by his marvellous instrument. 

 John Worrell Keely, who is now recognised as a great discoverer 

 on the lines of Sympathetic Vibration, has constructed an 

 instrument by which he can produce and register as many as 

 700,000,000 vibrations per second. Speaking of this operation 

 on water, Keely says : — u The peculiar conditions in the gaseous 

 elements of which water is composed as regards the different 

 atomic volume and weight of its gases makes it a ready and 

 fit subject of vibratory and research. In submitting water to 

 the influence of vibratory transmission, even as Simple Ihirds, 

 the high action induced on the Hydrogen in contrast with that 

 on the Oxygen, under the same vibratory stream, causes an 

 antagonism to arise between these elements that induces their 

 dissociation as water, and they are rearranged in some subtle 

 manner. The new gaseous element thus induced and registered 

 shows thousands of times greater force as regards tenuity and 

 volume than that induced by the chemical resolution. In all 

 molecular dissociation of both simple and compound elements, 

 gaseous or solid, a stream of antagonistic vibrations, Ihirds, 

 Sixths, or Ninths on their Mass-Chord will compel progressive 

 sub-divisions. In the disintegration of water, the instrument is 

 set on Ihirds, Sixths, and Ninths, to get the best effects." . 

 . Alter details and description as to how to operate 

 the instrument, Keely goes on to say : — " When the note ol the 

 S>ren becomes concordant with the neutral centre of the 

 disintegrator the highest order of sympathetic communication is 

 established . . complete disintegration will follow in 

 triple progression ; thus first, by the Ihirds comes molecular 

 disintegration, resolving the water into a gaseous compound of 

 the Hydrogen and Oxygen. Secondly, by the Sixths resolving this 

 compound into a new element, by second order of dissociation, 

 producing what I call low atomic Ether. Thirdly, by the Ninths, 

 this low atomic Ether is again resolved into a new element, 

 which I call the high or second atomic." By Thirds, Sixths,
