brief and to the point1 so that the reader may not become weary and misunderstand the true meaning4 ,his desire is to have the flourishing human know the truth of ,science and to learn what he can of its greatest wonders4 ,,chas4 ,,oliver4 ,,abc's ,,of ,,science ,,chapter ,i ,,the ,,supreme ,,power ,,of ,,nature #a4 ,supreme power of ,nature is comprised of all4 #b4 ,it may be divided into three parts3 ,mineral1 ,vegetable1 and ,animal4 #c4 ,mineral is comprised of ,mineral ,matter and ,mineral ,magnetism4 #d4 ,animal is comprised of ,animal ,matter and ,animal ,magnetism4 #e4 ,vegetable is comprised of ,vegetable ,matter and ,vegetable ,magnetism4 #f4 ,each of the foregoing have life1 and by cooperating with each other produce life that flourishes4 #g4 ,there being as many different kinds of ,magnetism as there are matter which is beyond the strength of human to classify4 #h4 ,the supreme power of ,nature had no beginning so it has no end2 its life is indestructible4 ,figures3 ,five line-drawings1 captioned as follows4 ,comet of #ahha1 the year ,mother ,shipton prophecied the ,earth to come to an end4 ,comet of #agdd4 ,comet of #aheg4 ,biela's comet discovered in #ahbg4 returned at intervals of #f #a_/b years4 ,in #ahdf it returned split1 returned in #aheb1 but never appeared since4 ,saturn4 ,,chapter ,,ii ,,astronomy 7,the word vapor used in general for water1 ice1 atmosphere1 etc47 #a4 ,space without beginning or end1 filled with unmaterial and material life4 ,the material is in motion by the currents of unmaterial life4 #b4 ,the material is in perfect bodies1 imperfect bodies1 and unconcentrated material4 #c4 ,perfect bodies group into constellation1 called sun's planets1 planetoids1 and moons4 #d4 ,imperfect bodies are comets1 called periodic and parabolic comets4 #e4 ,unconcentrated material called ,milky ,ways1 and rings such as are around ,saturn4 #f4 ,the unmaterial life currents run in every conceivable manner4 ,i will call the currents carrying constellation sun currents1 planet currents1 planetoid currents1 moon currents1 and comet currents1 respectively4 ,milky ways eddys4 #g4 ,saturn is the only body we know which has an unconcentrated obsequious attendant4 ,such rings may appear around constellations1 planets1 moons1 etc4 ,these rings can be accounted for in two ways1--first1 the material never being concentrated2 second1 by two or more bodies coming together and throwing the bodies into atoms4 #h4 ,suck1 or ,nebula1 currents form in the ,milky ways 7the same as two or more currents of air coming together and making a whirlwind71 which concentrates the material into bodies1 thus forming constellations and comets2 also rings such as are around ,saturn4 ,if a constellation is formed its current is called sun current1 and here it continues to whirl with all its subordinate currents1 planet1 planetoid1 and moon4 #i4 ,comets are caused by sun currents' pressure forcing the suck currents at a great speed1 and forces the comet current to pass through sun currents4 ,some comets pass in and out of their sun currents at regular intervals and are called periodic1 i4e41 its orbit is an ellipse4 ,comets that are parabolic will never return to their starting point and travel wild4 #aj4 ,bodies may be destroyed by suck currents carrying bodies in collision with each other2 if the bodies are equal size1 will throw the material into atoms4 ,if a small and large body come in collision the small body will bury itself in the greater4 ,bodies thrown into atoms1 the atoms may continue to be carried by its respective current 7as rings around ,saturn71 or the atoms may be forced beyond its current and pass as shooting stars to other bodies or milky ways4 #aa4 ,nebula is the suck current in the process of condensing material into bodies4 ,can be seen in ,milky ,way with naked eve4 ,figures3 two line drawings1 captioned as follows4 ,the solar system4 ,the sun4 ,,chapter ,,iii ,,the ,,solar ,,system #a4 ,the ,solar ,system is better known to us1 as the earth on which we flourish belongs to it4 #b4 ,the ,system is comprised of one sun 7star71 eight major planets1 ,mercury1 ,venus1 ,earth1 and one satellite1 ,mars and two satellites1 ,jupiter and seven satellites1 ,saturn1 its rings and ten satellites1 ,uranus and four satellites1 ,neptune and one satellite1 and some #fjj planetoids1 varying in size from #fjj miles in diameter to mere rocks4 #c4 ,the sun's diameter is #hff1jjj miles4 ,rotates every #fjf hours4 ,the length of time its current carries the sun over its orbit is unknown4 ,the sun remains a melted mass2 its vibration is maintained2 has but little vapor and its theme reflected on the surface of its obsequious attendants which gives them heat and light4 ,dark spots caused by vapor becoming concentrated to the sun's surface2 these spots change4 #d4 ,mercury1 the smallest major planet1 also the closest to the sun4 ,it is carried over its orbit about #cf1jjj1jjj miles from the sun1 which requires #hh days to complete its course1 and rotates once every #bd hours and #e minutes4 ,its diameter is #c1jjj miles and it has a suitable amount of vapor for animals and vegetables to flourish4 #e4 ,venus has the brightest lustre of our planets which is caused from enormous amount of vapor4 ,it is carried over its orbit at about #fg1jjj1jjj miles from the sun1 which requires #bbd #g_/aj days to complete its course4 ,rotates once every #bc hours and #ba minutes4 ,diameter1 #g1gjj miles4 #f4 ,the earth is carried over its orbit2 main distance being #ic1jjj1jjj miles from the sun1 which requires one year to complete its course1 which is #fhj1jjj1jjj miles3 ,,miles ,earth's diameter #h1jjj ,greater or equatorial #g1ibe ,less or polar #g1hii ,difference on comparison #bf ,the earth rotates once every #bc hours1 #ef minutes1 and #d seconds2 has one satellite1 which is carried over its orbit at a distance of #bch1hej miles from the earth4 ,its diameter is #b1afj miles4 ,the moon completes its orbit in #bi days1 #ab hours1 #dd minutes1 and #b seconds4 ,its currents touch the earth and cause the tide2 also affects some plants of the phenomena verita2 these plants are also affected by the sun4 ,many years after the earth's material began to flourish1 a small body 7whose crust was cooled7 came in contact with the earth2 this caused the earth's crust to crack almost from pole to pole and formed ,north and ,south ,america4 ,the eruptions in ,europe1 ,asia1 and ,africa were greatly scattered4 ,australian soil is deficient in phosphorus1 which shows it is foreign and represents the small body which did not entirely bury itself4 ,this caused some of the earth's land surface to be below the sea level2 also caused the earth's axis to change at a very slow rate of about #gg yards per year4 ,this will require many thousands of years for the ,north ,pole to become the ,south ,pole4 ,for many years the ,polar star appeared fixed at the earth's north axis4 #g4 ,mars is carried around the sun by its planet current at a distance of #adj1jjj1jjj miles1 which requires #fhg days1 and rotates every #bd hours1 #cg minutes1 and #bb #a_/b seconds4 ,diameter1 #d1bjj miles4 ,mars has two satellites and is not abundant in vapor which causes its reddish appearance1 therefore vegetation and animals are scanty4 #h4 ,jupiter is the largest major planet4 ,it makes a great jump from the sun of #dhc1jjj1jjj miles1 carried by its planet current to complete its orbit in #ab years4 ,rotates every #i hours1 #ee minutes1 and #cg seconds4 ,diameter1 #hh1jjj miles2 has seven satellites4 ,the climate has a very even temperature due to its fast rotation4 #i4 ,saturn1 the beauty of the skies1 carried by its planet current around the sun at its main distance of #hhc1jjj1jjj miles 7a greater distance of #djj1jjj1jjj miles than ,jupiter7 which requires about #bi #a_/b years4 ,rotates once every #aj hours1 #ad minutes1 and #bc seconds4 ,diameter1 #ge1jjj miles4 ,it has ten satellites and three rings of unconcentrated material4 ,the cape ring is about #i1jjj miles across1 the other two about #af1jjj each4 ,diameter of rings about #agj1jjj miles1 which makes the rings very close to the surface4 #aj4 ,uranus is carried by its planet current around the sun at a great distance of #a1ggh1jjj1jjj miles1 which requires about #hd years4 ,rate of rotation unknown4 ,diameter1 #ca1jjj miles4 ,it has four satellites4 #aa4 ,neptune is the farthest from the sun4 ,its main distance being #b1gib1jjj1jjj miles2 carried by its planet current over its orbit once in #afd years1 #i months4 ,diameter1 #cg1jjj miles4 ,period of rotation unknown4 ,has one satellite4 ,at ,neptune we haven't taken a step but our next neighbor is across the divide4 ,let us have a fairy dream and travel from the sun to ,neptune in a straight or direct course at the rate of #a1jjj1jjj miles an hour2 it would take us #aaf #a_/c days to reach ,neptune4 ,figure3 ,line drawing1 captioned ,the solar system4 ,,chapter ,,iv ,,across ,,the ,,divide #a4 ,crossing the divide 7,abyss7 we encounter other systems of about #be1jjj1jjj1jjj1 or the first magnitude4 ,our most powerful glass reaches the #afth4 ,magnitude is very uneven and irregular1 and beyond this there is no end4 #b4 ,many constellations have more than one sun1 while others are double1 quadruple1 and multiple4 ,it is estimated a brilliant star1 and can be seen2 of these over a million have been catalogued and only about #be whose distance have been measured4 ,,chapter ,v ,,flourishment ,,of ,,the ,,earth #a4 ,the earth reached its state of concentration1 and the vapor in great clouds enveloped the heavier substance4 ,the earth being heaved up by volcanoes 7caused by the vapor coming in contact with the heated material72 as the vapor reached its state1 rain fell on the earth crust1 and thus rivers1 lakes1 and oceans were formed4 #b4 ,here animal and vegetable matter began to flourish4 #c4 ,great deposits of protoplasm became concentrated over the earth's surface2 from the deposits sprang all kinds of vegetables and animals that flourish1 and many more families than inhabit the earth to-day became extinct4 #d4 ,vegetable matter began to flourish as its semen became concentrated1 likewise animal matter4 7,this takes place to-day in different ways1 principally in ,marine varites4 ,see ,chap4 ,i1 par4 #f47 #e4 ,reproductions in all families that flourish2 some families mix and their offspring will not reproduce4 7,life cannot be destroyed1 but flourishment can47 #f4 ,man came from deposits of protoplasm 7semen7 as is produced for reproduction of man to-day4 ,the deposits were of different kinds2 each deposit brought forth its own branch of humanity1 these branches being of different type and tongue4 ,later the tongue of one branch became learned by the other4 ,from the different original tongues will give us a good estimate of deposits in number4 #g4 ,babies were nourished in the protoplasm deposits the same as they are in their mother's womb4 ,this nourishment came from the abundance of albumen which accompanied the semen in concentrating4 ,as the babies matured they broke the crust of the deposit of protoplasm and put forth their heads and breathed the air2 their bodies still remained in the albumen until they gained strength to feed themselves on the albumen4 ,here the babies broke the cord 7navel cord7 that brought nourishment into their bodies1 as in the womb of a mother1 and crawled around over the crust of the deposit where they came1 feeding on its crust by putting it into their mouths4 ,the babe has not forgotten it yet1 as everything he gets that he can handle goes to his mouth4 ,he learned to walk and talk to his brothers and sisters1 and composed a language of their own4 ,here manhood and womanhood is reached4 #h4 ,all animals came in like manner1 but without a fluent language4 #i4 ,vegetable matter flourished and the earth is inhabited4 ,all bodies that have atmosphere are inhabited4 ,atmosphere is vaporized protoplasm4 #aj4 ,ten of the principal materials that produce flourishment are carbon1 hydrogen1 oxygen1 phosphorus1 potassium1 nitrogen1 sulphur1 calcium1 iron and magnesium2 protoplasm contains everything2 chemists have not been able to determine and classify protoplasm4 7,see ,chap4 ,i1 par4 #g47 #aa4 ,humanity varied much in size4 ,the giant tribe 7such as the petrified ,cardiff ,giant7 has long been extinct4 ,men of this type weighed #ejj pounds and more1 measured nearly #ab feet in height1 while our midgets measure under #b feet4 #ab4 ,hermaphrodites exist in all material that flourishes4 ,malformation4 ,,chapter ,,vi ,,animal ,,magnetism #a4 ,every animal has its own magnetism which is its source of strength and intelligence4 ,the glands1 nerves1 and ducts are batteries1 ducts and glands storage batteries1 the nerves motive and sensation 7or intelligence74 ,the brain is the principal battery of sensation 7or intelligence71 while the heart is the principal motive battery4 #b4 ,the child begins to train himself to make use of his limbs1 first by swinging his arms and legs1 second by creeping1 third by walking4 ,note a child feeding itself1 how unsteady he is in getting his food to his mouth2 sometimes his spoon misses his mouth and the food is spilled1 for which he usually receives a slap1 although he has displayed all his energy in getting his food in his mouth4 ,next we find him a trained athlete and skilled laborer1 capable of applying himself to most anything he cares to do4 #c4 ,but little attention is paid to the training of animal magnetism4 ,any one with nerves in his teeth can concentrate magnetism in the teeth1 so it can be easily felt1 also the lips2 by training the magnetism it can be concentrated in any part of the body4 ,this takes constant practice and could be used when one has any disability by concentrating the magnetism in the disabled part1 causing the blood to circulate more freely at the point where the magnetism is concentrated1 and thus improving the disabled part4 ,the osteologist does this by massage1 the real faith cure man by concentrating his magnetism on the patient1 the practitioner uses medicine and drugs1 each having their own magnetism1 etc4 ,accordingly many diseases are contagious by people becoming inoculated by mild magnetism which comes from some kind of matter4 7,see ,chap4 ,i1 par4 #g47 #d4 ,the hypnotist or mesmerist gains control of his opponents through animal magnetism and controls every movement4 ,the nerves cease to act and the hypnotist is boss4 ,the patient can be made to exert great strength and pass dangerous points without falling4 ,a hypnotist or mesmerist is invariably in poor health and flesh4 ,this is caused by the over-taxation of his own nerves and ducts4 #f4 ,animal magnetism can he used like wireless telegraphy4 ,miss ,helen ,kellar is one of the best known for telepathy4 ,she was born blind1 also deaf and dumb4 ,she is a great linguist and well educated4 #g4 ,the dumb animals in their wild state use telepathy much when encountering danger2 their keen scent of the deer1 horse1 etc41 enables them to determine the direction of the enemy4 #h4 ,predestination is cultivated and in most instances comes true4 ,i observed this in the case of ,william ,mc,kinley1 martyred ,president of the ,united ,states of ,america1 who said he wanted to follow in the footsteps of ,james ,a4 ,garfield1 also martyred ,president4 ,let us see how nearly he came following in his footsteps3 ,born in the same locality1 ,president of the same country1 each supported a platform of good currency1 each assassinated in the same month1 and in the seat of the ,presidency4 ,both died a lingering death2 the difference in the length of time of their flourishment was #h months and #g days4 ,figures3 ,photographs of ,william ,mc,kinley and ,james ,a4 ,garfield4 #i4 ,next observe the old in their feebleness and we see these well trained hands tremble2 the gland ducts and nerves are withering1 the animal magnetism is weakening1 which renders them childish 4 #aj4 ,the ducts1 glands1 and nerves throw off their magnetism in many different ways1 in exertion1 fright1 fear1 anguish1 discontent1 happiness1 kindness1 loveliness1 desire1 etc4 ,dr4 ,t4 ,b4 ,robertson discovered that ,tethelin 7located in the pituitary body at the base of the brain7 produces the growth of the body4 ,,chapter ,,vii ,,miscellaneous #a4 ,lightning is caused by the friction of vapor1 which is at a suitable temperature4 ,thus two or more currents of air coming together will cause lightning1 as the friction concentrates the electricity1 and as there is no conductor the heavy voltage flies usually toward the nearest conductor4 ,this voltage is so great that it explodes the air4 ,the air coming together again produces a great vibration1 called thunder4 #b4 ,aurora ,borealis4 ,the outer circle around the earth represents atmosphere4 ,the sun current carries it far from the earth's surface4 ,at the north1 when the sun's reflection strikes the earth's crust in such a manner1 its reflection will be seen in the atmosphere at a great height1 called ,northern ,lights4 ,this is mostly seen in ,november1 ,december1 and ,january4 ,figure3 ,uncaptioned line drawing 7accompanying the paragraph above7 of the ,earth's orbit about the sun4 #c4 ,the museum of ,alexandria was established about #djj years ,b4,c41 for the purpose of restoring science that had been lost thousands of years before4 ,the cultivation of knowledge by experiment1 observation1 and mathematical discussions3 this was the birth of a science of to-day4 ,the library contained many thousands of volumes of books1 but was destroyed by ,cyril2 a girl in charge of the library by the name of ,hypatia was brutally killed and the flesh was scraped from her bones with sea shells4 ,this occurred in #dad ,a4,d4 ,alexander died at ,babylon #cbc ,b4,c4 ,china1 ,mesopotamia1 and ,india had made astronomical observations at this early date4 ,most of these learnings were destroyed4 ,brono1 ,isaac ,newton1 ,brably1 and some few others1 promoted science by their discoveries of what is to-day4 ,good ,will to man4
