Here followeth the method of manufacturing light and heat as they are on the earth and<br \/>\nmoon and sun, and all other planets:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. The half of the earth&#8217;s vortex (for example) which faceth toward the sun is a concave<br \/>\nlens to the earth. A similar lens, but far larger, is at the sun-center: The convex faces of<br \/>\nthe two lenses are toward each other forever. They are ethereally connected by solutions<br \/>\nof corpor needles linear in position.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. The vortex is larger than the earth, so that polar lights are possible on the shadow side.<br \/>\nAnd the brilliancy of the polar lights are proportionately less than daylight at noon in the<br \/>\ntropics, exactly in correspondence to the concentration of the rays by a lens of the<br \/>\nmagnitude referred to.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. The vortexya rising up out of the earth at night is negative, or less than the vortexya<br \/>\ndescending in daylight, and their conjunctive line is near the earth&#8217;s surface. Hence, five<br \/>\nor six miles&#8217;altitude is intense cold; whilst five or six hundred is so cold that mortals<br \/>\ncould not possibly measure it.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. In the early days of the earth, when there was more heat emitted from the earth than at<br \/>\npresent, it also rose to a greater altitude; but it was nevertheless thrown back, to a great<br \/>\nextent, every day, even after the same manner it is to-day, by the vortexian lens referred<br \/>\nto. And as of the heat, so also of the light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. In the sum of all the universe there was, and is now, and ever shall be, the same latent<br \/>\namount of heat and light. The vortex in formation driveth them to the centre for a period<br \/>\nof time; nevertheless a time cometh when the heat and light escape outward. And though<br \/>\nthe vortexian lens recast them back in a measure, thus producing day and warmth on the<br \/>\nface of the earth, yet there is ever a trifling loss toward perpetual coldness and darkness.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. This great hemispherical lens, atmospherea, not only thus manufactureth light and<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">heat, but it also affordeth man the means of seeing the sun and moon and stars. It hath<br \/>\nthe power also of magnifying millions of comparatively dense etherean worlds, so<br \/>\nthat man can see through them. The student should consider this from the standpoint<br \/>\nof a magnifying lens in a microscope, which hath power to distend many things so<br \/>\none can see through their fibres, which to the naked eye seem dense. For etherea is<br \/>\nnot nearly so rarified as mortals suppose. Without the sun&#8217;s atmospherean lens, man<br \/>\ncould not even see the moon, nor stars; and the sun itself would seem as a pale red star.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. As the vortex of the earth is thus a lens to the earth, so is the moon&#8217;s vortex to the<br \/>\nmoon, and so also of the sun and all other stars and planets, where light and heat are<br \/>\nmanifested.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. When the moon is half full, a dim outline of the shadow side of the moon is to be seen<br \/>\nwith the naked eye. This, by philosophers hath been erroneously called the earth&#8217;s shine.<br \/>\nFor they ignorantly believed the light of the earth was reflected on the moon. The real<br \/>\ncause of this sub-light on the moon is in consequence of the action of a sub-lens on the<br \/>\nmoon, facing the earth&#8217;s vortex, which operateth after the same manner as the other.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. When the moon produceth a full eclipse of the sun (by which philosophers<br \/>\nignorantly believed the light and heat of the sun were cut off from the earth), it<br \/>\ncauseth darkness on the earth by breaking the linear connection betwixt the earth&#8217;s<br \/>\nvortex and the sun-center, so that the positive current in the earth&#8217;s vortex is cut off,<br \/>\nand that part that would otherwise be a lens becometh negative in its action, in the<br \/>\nlinear space. But when the eclipse falleth far in the north or south part of the earth only,<br \/>\nthen the action of the moon&#8217;s shadow will fall in the direction of the earth&#8217;s lens, so that<br \/>\na sub-lens is impossible. Whereas, were there such a thing as earth&#8217;s shine, in time of<br \/>\ntotal eclipse of the sun, the equatorial light would make the moon shine at that time also.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. As light, and heat, and magnetism, and electricity, are all one and the same thing,<br \/>\nwhich are the manifestation of vortexian currents under different conditions, the student<br \/>\nmust not lose sight of the fact that none of these so-called things are things in fact, that is,<br \/>\nentities of themselves, separately or combined.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Vortexya can be charged, as before mentioned, into iron and other substances. When<br \/>\nit is charged in iron it is called magnetism; when charged in phosphorus it is called light<br \/>\n(inactive); when charged in nitrate of silver it is called darkness. If its application be<br \/>\ncontinued on phosphorus, the latter will combine with common air and ignite. With<br \/>\nphosphorus and without it, it will, as before stated, combine oxygen and hydrogen, and it<br \/>\nwill also separate them. And yet vortexya, in fact, is no substance or thing as such; but is<br \/>\nthe vortex in axial and orbitic motion, or, in other words, corpor in an etheic solution.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. As previously stated, ethe holdeth corpor in solution, which is the condition of<br \/>\natmospherea and of the etherean regions beyond. When a portion of this solution is given<br \/>\na rotary motion it is called a vortex. Nor is a vortex a substance or thing of itself, more<br \/>\nthan is a whirlwind, or as a whirlpool in the water. As a whirlpool can not exist without<br \/>\nwater, or a whirlwind exist without air, so can not a vortex exist without the etheic<br \/>\nsolution. As previously stated, in the beginning of a vortex it is long, but in course of time<br \/>\nit hath a tendency to become round like a globe, but flattened a little at the poles. This<br \/>\nalso happeneth to every vortex that carrieth a satellite: That the periphery of the vortex is<br \/>\nundulated; and the extent of its undulation can be determined by the minimum and<br \/>\nmaximum distance of the satellite from its planet.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. In consequence of this discrepancy, the lens power of the vortex of the earth varies<br \/>\nconstantly, even daily, monthly and yearly. Nevertheless, the sum of heat and cold and the<br \/>\nsum of light and darkness are nearly the same, one generation with another. This was, by<br \/>\nthe ancient prophets, called the F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IRST <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">R<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ULE IN <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ROPHECY<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">. This was again subdivided by<br \/>\nthree, into eleven years, whereof it was found that one eleven years nearly corresponded<br \/>\nwith another eleven years. This was the S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ECOND <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">R<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ULE IN <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ROPHECY<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">. <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">The T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HIRD <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">R<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ULE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">was<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">NINETY- NINE YEARS, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">whereto was added one year.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. In the case of the tides, a still further allowance of six years was found necessary to<br \/>\ntwo hundred; but in the succeeding four hundred years a deduction was required of five<br \/>\nyears. Whereupon the moon&#8217;s time was eighteen years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. As the lens power loseth by flattening the vortex, and increaseth by rounding the<br \/>\nvortex, it will be observed that the position of the moon&#8217;s vortex relatively to the earth&#8217;s,<br \/>\nis a fair conclusion as to the times of ebb and flood tide. In periods of thirty-three years,<br \/>\ntherefore, tables can be constructed expressing very nearly the variations of vortexya for<br \/>\nevery day in the year, and to prophesy correctly as to the winters and summers, so far as<br \/>\nlight and darkness, and heat and cold, are concerned. This flattening and rounding of the<br \/>\nvortexian lens of the earth is one cause of the wonderful differences between the heat of<br \/>\none summer compared with another, and of the difference in the coldness of winters, as<br \/>\ncompared with one another. Of these also, tables can be made. Winter tables made by the<br \/>\nancients were based on periods of six hundred and sixty-six years, and were called<br \/>\nS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ATAN\u2019S <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ABLES<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, or the T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IMES OF THE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EAST<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">. Tables made on such a basis are superior to<br \/>\ncalculations made on the relative position of the moon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. But where they have prophesied ebb and flood tide to be caused by certain positions<br \/>\nof the moon, they have erred in suffering themselves to ignorantly believe the cause lay<br \/>\nwith the moon. A man may prophesy by a traveling wagon what time it will reach town;<br \/>\nbut the correctness of his prophecy does not prove that the wagon pushed the horse to<br \/>\ntown. These revelations pertain more to the cause of things, than to giving new<br \/>\nprophecies. What mortals can not discover by any corporeal observation must come by<br \/>\ninspiration. In the year 4 B.K. Leverrier, of France, prophesied the existence of Neptune<br \/>\nby the calculation of planetary disturbances. Other discoveries have been made in the<br \/>\nsame way; whereupon they have believed the said disturbances to be caused by one<br \/>\nplanet&#8217;s power on another.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Planetary disturbances are not caused by any power or effect of one planet on another;<br \/>\nthe cause of the disturbances lieth in the vortices wherein they float. Mortals can not see<br \/>\nthe vortices; their only means of prophesying lieth in corpor. A man may prophesy of the<br \/>\nmoon by calculations of the disturbances of the tides. But to attribute to the tides the<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">cause <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">of the moon&#8217;s position would be no more erroneous than to attribute the cause of<br \/>\ntides to the moon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. It is not the intention, in these revelations, to give new calculations in regard to<br \/>\noccurrences on the planets; it is a trifling difference whether a man prophesy by a vortex<br \/>\nor by a planet. Wherein he erreth in regard to judging the cause of things, he should be<br \/>\nput on the right road. Wherein he hath had no knowledge of the forces and currents of the<br \/>\nunseen worlds and their dominion over the seen worlds, revelation only can reach him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. They have said there are five elements of corpor; then again sixty; and a hundred. But<br \/>\nin time they will say there are millions. And yet all of them are comprehended in the word<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">corpor. To resolve them, discover them, and classify them, and their combinations, is the<br \/>\nwork of man. Where they are aggregated together, as the earth, the result is called a<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">CREATION, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">or a created world. When such a globe is dissolved in ethe and sublimated, it is<br \/>\nsaid a world is destroyed, or a star is destroyed. Nevertheless, in any of these operations,<br \/>\nno one ingredient as such is annihilated. What is creation more than to make a drop of<br \/>\nrain; or the dissolution of a world more than the evaporation of a drop of water?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. Pour a few drops of water on a table covered with dust, and each drop will become a<br \/>\nglobe. Look for them tomorrow, and they are gone (evaporated). The globe is annihilated<br \/>\n(for it was not a thing in fact), but the water, which was the thing, is not annihilated, but<br \/>\nevaporated. The term annihilation applieth to such as are not things in fact, but which are<br \/>\nforms and figures. A ray of light (so-called) can be annihilated; but that that comprised it<br \/>\ncan not be annihilated.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. Were the earth&#8217;s vortex to break, the earth would be precipitated into dissolution,<br \/>\nunder ordinary conditions. But were the earth&#8217;s vortex to be swallowed in the vortex of<br \/>\nanother planet, then the earth would be precipitated as a globe to such planet. Such is the<br \/>\ncase as regardeth double stars, and triplets and quadruplets, especially where they are in<br \/>\ncontact. The same principle holdeth in regard to the vortices of some nebulae and comets;<br \/>\none is frequently swallowed up within another. But in such case the corpor commingleth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. In the case of double stars, and triplets, and so on, if conjoined, the center of<br \/>\ngravitation (so-called) is not to each one, but to the intervening center between them. The<br \/>\npolarity of such a group is as to the vortex. Think not, however, that double stars or<br \/>\ntriplets or quadruples are the limit of combinations in one vortex. There are clusters of<br \/>\nplanets, hundreds of them, thousands, and even millions, that sometimes occupy one<br \/>\nvortex.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. As a globe can be annihilated, so can a vortex, and so can vortexya; for none of these<br \/>\nare things of themselves in fact, but combinations in some given place or condition; but<br \/>\nthe corpor of such expression of known forms and figures and motions can not be<br \/>\nannihilated.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. Though the general form of a vortex, as before stated, in its beginning is long, funnelshaped (like a whirlwind), its ultimate is toward a globular form. And though the<br \/>\ncurrent of a vortex is spiral, at first, its currents ultimate toward less spirality. If one<br \/>\ncould imagine a very long serpent in spiral form, constantly turning its head in at one<br \/>\npole, and its tail at the other, and forever crawling upon its own spirality, such a<br \/>\nview would somewhat illustrate the currents of a vortex. (See cuts in G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD\u2019S <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OOK OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EN<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. In one plate the black center representeth a planet, and the black spot with the letter<br \/>\n\u00abS\u00bb representeth a satellite. The white lines indicate the course of the vortexian currents,<br \/>\nbut purposely exaggerated in the drawing. First, to show the undulation in the vortex<br \/>\nwhere the satellite resteth, and secondly, to show the head turning in at one end, and the<br \/>\nbulge of the tail ready to overlap itself, wherefrom there is an excess of light manifested<br \/>\nin the tail (northern) regions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. Were the currents of the vortex to attain due east and west lines, without polar outcropping, the winds would cease to blow on the face of the earth. The air and the earth<br \/>\nwould ultimate in equilibrium in axial revolution.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. Herein lieth the cause of the winds chiefly; nevertheless, high mountain ranges of<br \/>\nirregular forms, and places on the earth&#8217;s surface, add considerably to breaking and<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">changing the currents that would otherwise result. The transcendent heat of the tropical<br \/>\natmosphere would seem to call for replacement from the north and south by cold currents<br \/>\nof wind; but it must be remembered that only a few miles up from the earth the<br \/>\ntemperature of the tropical air is as low as the polar air. Only so far as icebergs float<br \/>\ntoward the equator is there any very perceptible lowering of the temperature of the air,<br \/>\nand of wind currents toward the tropics.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. As previously stated, in describing the positive current of vortexya being in the form<br \/>\nof a right-angle triangle, with the angle in the center of the earth, and one leg toward the<br \/>\nnorth pole, and one in the east, at the equator, it will now be perceived that the greatest<br \/>\ncold region of the earth can not be at either the equator or the poles, but must occupy<br \/>\nplaces distant from the poles in the exact ratio of the difference in the power between the<br \/>\npositive and negative currents of vortexya and m&#8217;vortexya, and corresponding to the<br \/>\natmospherean lens of the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 4<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. The currents of the vortex of the earth being in constant change, the following results<br \/>\nhappen. In the regions where they overlap one another, and break to a limited extent,<br \/>\nproducing discord in motion, certain eddies and whirlpools result, and the corpor in<br \/>\nsolution is condensed, like little planets or meteoric stones, varying in size from a pin&#8217;s<br \/>\nhead to ten or twenty miles in diameter. And the little broken currents in the vortex lose<br \/>\ntheir prey, and the meteoric stones or little planets are carried by the vortexian current<br \/>\ndown to the earth&#8217;s surface. (See plates Wark, G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD\u2019S <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OOK OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EN <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. The belt in atmospherea where these things happen is usually about five or six or seven<br \/>\nhundred miles up from the earth&#8217;s surface. But the belt sometimes ascendeth a thousand<br \/>\nmiles. But at other distances upward other belts exist; and others still beyond, and so on.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Another result that happeneth from these overlapping currents in the vortex, is the<br \/>\nproduction of rain and snow and hail. Certain parts of the earth are given to snow; certain<br \/>\nparts to rain and hail; and other parts to drought. In drought regions the vortexian<br \/>\noverlappings descend to the very earth, where they are called by various names, such as<br \/>\ncyclones, whirlwinds and so on; but if they occur on the ocean, carrying either up or down<br \/>\na current of water, they are termed water-spouts. In regions where there are rain, hail and<br \/>\nsnow falls, the vortexian commotion taketh place from half a mile to three miles above<br \/>\nthe earth&#8217;s surface. Here the discord resulteth in liberating the moisture which was in<br \/>\ntransparent solution, and clouds result. But if the commotion continue, these are,<br \/>\natomically, still further liberated, and either rain or snow or hail resulteth, which is carried<br \/>\ndown to the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. The places in the vortex of the earth where these discords result are nearly uniform in<br \/>\ntheir relative distance from the earth, and in the times of the occurrence, having special<br \/>\nreference to the prophetic periods previously given.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Refer to plate 44, in Book of Ben where will be seen a variety of representations of the<br \/>\nforms and figures of snow-flakes. But these are not all; there are thousands of millions of<br \/>\nthem, differing so much from one another that description is not possible. As previously<br \/>\nstated, corpor being in solution in ethe, hath in the main the shape of needles, but of such<br \/>\ninfinitesimal size that corporeal knowledge of them can only be, at most, subjective<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">knowledge. But in the snow-flake are both the casting and the mold of discordant<br \/>\nm&#8217;vortexian currents.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. But it must be borne in mind that where one snow-flake is molded in one moment,<br \/>\nanother snow-flake molded in the same place the next moment, and so on, would<br \/>\ndisplay no two snow-flakes alike. Three stages may be described in the discordant results:<br \/>\nfirst, the cloud; second, the frozen cloud, which is snow; and third, the rain-drop or hailstone.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. In the meteoric regions (which are above such clouds as produce rain) corpor also<br \/>\npresenteth three stages of development, which are: Ash-clouds, transparent or otherwise;<br \/>\nand crystal needles; and meteoric stones. The latter only, as a general rule, are<br \/>\nprecipitated to the earth. But on certain occasions, both the other forms of corpor are also<br \/>\nprecipitated to the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Allowing a certain size to rain clouds, which are near the earth, corporeal clouds high<br \/>\nup in the vortex, are proportionately larger according to the ratio of the difference<br \/>\nbetween their globular circumference and that of the lower strata. So also are the<br \/>\ndiscordant waves proportionally longer, wider and deeper.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. It is an error to say that the atmosphere of the earth decreaseth gradually and<br \/>\ncontinually in specific gravity according to the distance above the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. It is an error to say that there is any gravity in it, save only that it precipitateth<br \/>\nformations like rain, snow, hail and meteoric stones. As before shown, these things have<br \/>\nno gravity of their own to go in any direction. Nor is there any attraction in the earth to<br \/>\npull them down. They are driven to the earth by the vortexian current. But the point<br \/>\nherein now considered is, the commonly expressed knowledge of men, that the<br \/>\natmosphere hath less density outward, away from the earth, in proportion to the<br \/>\ndistance from the earth&#8217;s surface. In one respect this is an error; in another a truth: As to<br \/>\ndensity <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">PER SE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">there is no difference in the atmosphere on the face of the earth compared<br \/>\nto that of a thousand miles high, or a hundred thousand miles high. It is all in even<br \/>\nbalance, as to pressure and density, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">PER SE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">. <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">But because the etheic solution of corpor<br \/>\nis more sublimated by swifter axial motion in the higher regions, and because the<br \/>\nlower regions contain less perfectly dissolved corpor, the difference hath been<br \/>\nimproperly described. Air is no heavier because of rain; the weight lieth in the rain only.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Hence the gravity (so-called) of the atmosphere hath reference only to imperfect<br \/>\nsolutions of corpor. And it is true that a superabundance of these imperfect solutions are<br \/>\nnear the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. At the sea-level a certain pressure seemeth to manifest, as in a barometer; on a high<br \/>\nmountain a less pressure seemeth to manifest. There is also a variation in the barometer<br \/>\naccording to certain conditions of the atmosphere. The difference is not that the pressure<br \/>\nof the atmosphere is different; the pressure of the atmosphere, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">PER SE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">is the same in all<br \/>\ndirections, high and low. The cause of the variation of the barometer is in reference to<br \/>\ndistension (sublimated solution of corpor), and hath no reference to pressure as such. This<br \/>\ncapacity to distension is not only external to the barometer, but within it also; so that as a<br \/>\nmeasure of atmospheric pressure <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">PER SE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">it is entirely worthless. The suction pump, or<br \/>\ninverted tube filled with water, showeth the pressure of the atmosphere upward as well as<br \/>\ndownward, and showeth what the pressure is.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Wherefrom it is shown there is no such thing as attraction of gravitation of the<br \/>\natmosphere toward the earth more than away from it. Where the atmosphere is<br \/>\novercharged with an imperfect solution of corpor, or snow or rain, that excess is that<br \/>\nwhich balanceth toward the earth. But this also only applieth in regions close to the<br \/>\nearth&#8217;s surface. Fifty or a hundred thousand miles up from the earth, the axial velocity<br \/>\nof the vortex is so great that rain or snow would be instantaneously dissolved,<br \/>\ndistended and lost to sight. Consequently the solutions in the higher atmosphere not<br \/>\nonly contain moisture, but they contain iron, lead, zinc, gold, platinum, clay, granite,<br \/>\ndiamonds and all other things known to exist on the earth, and many others besides.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. In the early age of the vortex of the earth, so swiftly flew the outer rim that border<br \/>\neddies ensued, from which nebula congregated, until the earth had a nebulous belt around<br \/>\nit. This belt, in time, losing pace with the earth&#8217;s vortex, condensed and made the moon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. But to return to the snow-flake and to the needles of the corpor whilst in the etheic<br \/>\nsolutions: On a cloudy day these solutions or needles (mist, or dull atmosphere) are more<br \/>\nor less transverse to the vortexian lines. In a clear day the needles are linear to the earth,<br \/>\nand this is the reason it is a clear day. The latter direction of the needles may be called<br \/>\ndirect, and the former indirect. Wherein they are direct, and they fall on the photoplate,<br \/>\nthe force of their blows is called actinic force, and it is the same as where they fall on the<br \/>\nwet linen in the bleachman&#8217;s field. In this actinic blow a weak electric flame is produced<br \/>\nby each needle; hence the bleaching power, and also the power to blister an exposed skin<br \/>\nwhich hath been kept for years in the dark (negative).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. If a solution of iron, transparent, or of quinine, or other recipient of negative<br \/>\nelectricity, be sprinkled on the cloth, the actinic ray will not result in the electric spark,<br \/>\nand no bleaching effect will be produced; and even, sometimes, on the contrary, a black<br \/>\nspot will result.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Wherever the vortexian current falleth, corpor is more or less damaged or dissolved,<br \/>\nor changed in its combinations. On a piece of iron, fresh broken, it produceth rust.<br \/>\nBecause the vortexian solution contained oxygen, this effect hath been called oxidation.<br \/>\nNevertheless, in point of fact, oxygen of itself is inert: The break of its needles liberateth<br \/>\nvortexya, which result is a minor representation of the discharge of an electric spark from<br \/>\nthe pole of a battery.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. As previously stated, the vortexian currents are to the earth in the daylight;<br \/>\nand from the earth in the night; although their force is toward the center of the earth<br \/>\n(from the east) and toward the north pole afterward. The following result happeneth: For<br \/>\nexample, a pool of water is charged during the day with the positive current; during the<br \/>\nnight the negative current escapeth upward from the water. The decomposition resulting<br \/>\ntherefrom is called se&#8217;mu (green scum), a mucilaginous substance which floateth on the<br \/>\nsurface of the water. In some days&#8217;time this se&#8217;mu, by motion (from some external cause),<br \/>\nassumeth certain defined shapes, crystalline, fibrous and otherwise, after the manner of<br \/>\nstrange configurations of frost on a window-pane. In some days after this, if the se&#8217;mu be<br \/>\nexamined with a lens it will be discovered that here are miniature trees, even forests, with<br \/>\nvines and grasses. No seed was there.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. This new property is called L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IFE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and because it existeth everywhere it is called<br \/>\nO<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">MNIPRESENT<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">. Man can account for the se&#8217;mu; for the positive and negative forces; for<br \/>\ncorpor and for ethe; but Life is unfathomable by man. The se&#8217;mu (green scum) floateth<br \/>\nagainst the ground; its infinitesimal trees and vines and grasses take root and grow, and<br \/>\nlive a season and die; but from the roots and seeds a larger growth succeedeth. Thus<br \/>\nbecometh all the world inhabitated over with living creatures. Nevertheless not one thing<br \/>\nof all of them mergeth into another; but every one bringeth forth after its own kind.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. Man inquireth of the earth, the rocks, the air, and of all things: Who is this Life?<br \/>\nThis Omnipresent that quickeneth into life all the living? But none can answer him. Then<br \/>\nman inquireth of L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IFE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">: \u201cW<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HO ART <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HOU <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">O L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IFE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">?\u201c And the answer cometh to the soul of<br \/>\nman: \u201cI <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AM <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IFE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!
