wastes its motion in that way. Water acts this way (steam).

Crystallization is the result of the formation of vaco cells or white sparks, and I reprint paragraph 26 to explain this fact:

26.
Annealing and Malleability of Metals.

Crystallization has been considered in paragraph 21, but when matter is cooled very slowly through long periods of time, vacuo spaces are not formed.

Ordinary cast iron is crystallized, but when it is heated in a furnace and gradually cooled through several days or weeks, it becomes "malleable iron."

The iron which is used as an electro-magnet for a telegraphic machine will not work unless the iron is annealed very soft by being heated and allowed to cool in the ashes as the fire gradually dies out.

Crystallization is the most wonderful dovetailing process conceivable. When a liquid is cooled the molecules become radio active and radiate lines of force. These lines are nearly straight, unlike heat lines, and therefore they are cold lines. They drive matter in planes and straight lines or surfaces instead of into globules or liquids which move. The discs of ice cannot move or roll about like the globules of water, and ice is hard like quartz or a form of flint or silica.

All objects are formed by the action of TWO forces, either a curling force or a straight force. Plants form leaves in the air, and where there is more obstruction and curving influence they form roots. ALL CELLS ARE ALIKE in their first state, but are changed in the process of growth or from influences.

A slip from a geranium when stuck into the earth will form roots. It seems to me that each cell in an egg contains a counterpart of the whole body of a chicken—that is, it contains electrons or occult matter which, once having passed through all parts of a fowl's body, in the blood photographs these parts.

We can account for the various parts of the egg yolk turning its cells into different forms by the location which the particular cell occupies—as cells in various parts,—at the center,—or at the surface,—would be subject to curling forces or straight forces. At the center forces would be obstructed and curled, and at the surface just the opposite, and a hundred variations, according to the location and surroundings.

How many times I have wished that a social condition could be instituted by which EVERY LIVING BEING in the world or the universe could be happy and free from fear, worriment, hunger, and exposure—where peace, plenty and pleasure existed for all—where all could have a horse, automobile, golf link or any correct thing which their ideas called for to make them enjoy themselves.

FOUR HOURS' labor per day is enough for any one and there is enough in the world to give every one happiness and plenty if THE SOCIAL CONDITION was arranged correctly.

While there are many unfeeling capitalists, yet the poor are not always right. They don't know how to act for their own welfare. They may know what they want, but don't know how to get it. An ignorant poor man will often sell his vote or he is too ignorant to learn that he should obey correct laws.

The London Spectator recently gave a biography of former Secretary of State JOHN HAY and I give an excerpt from the same:

"It was natural that Hay should despise the arts of the demagogue. He speaks with scorn of what he calls 'gutter Ciceros,' and of the practice adopted during a sharp electoral campaign of 'hiring dirty orators by the dozen to blather on street corners.' He very rightly held that it was the special duty of statesmen in democratic countries to have the courage of their opinions. He himself wrote a novel, entitled 'The Bread Winners,' which was widely read, and which was really an elaborate defence of capital against the attacks of labor; and in 1905 he wrote to President Roosevelt: 'It is a comfort to see the most popular man in America telling the truth to our masters, the people. It requires no courage to attack wealth and power, but to remind the masses that they too are subject to the law is something few public men dare to do.'

"America at her best can produce men of a very high type. Such a man was John Hay."


Part Second
Spirits and the Spirit Land.

1. Reveries in the Country.

It was a day in January. The desultory snow-flakes were skudding here and there and a white mantle was becoming visible on the fence tops and pine trees, and as I gazed dreamily from the window of my study I heard the church bell in the belfry of the village church peal out its glad tidings of love; and as its decadence faded away, a thought peaceful and quiet captured my soul,—it seemed as if the reverberating voice of the holy bell had told me a story—a secret of happiness and peace.

2. Redemption of the World.

And as I settled back in my broad wicker arm chair before the blazing hearth fire I said to my inner soul: "How beautiful is this moment! Can I perpetuate the sentiments which give me joy on this Sabbath day, can I delve into the laws of comfort and rest and emerge with a TROPHY TO REDEEM THE WORLD?"

3. Spirit and Matter.

The scintillating sparks in the fireplace rose up on the wings of a golden glow, paused for a moment and then I saw a flash of pure white light gleam like the star of Bethlehem. I had seen the wild, red coals changed to peaceful, redeemed souls of light.

4. A Truism of Nature an Eternal Principle.

The church bell, emblematic of religion, and the "white spark," a ubiquitous principle of the universe; visions of the superstructure of the millennium, rose up before me—religion and science hand in hand, science the fact and religion the herald or harbinger.

5. Matter Only the Wake of Spirit.

I had seen that from out the depths of the base matter come forth a substance pure and glorious. Transmutation then had proved that there is no vile, low or corrupt matter in the universe, and the idea is a relic of the ignorance inculcated in the dim vistas of the past. All matter is simply a figure sculptured by the pencil of spirit, vortices which use space as a playground, speed which holds the lines stiff and refractory against ultra intrusion.

6. Science of the White Spark.

Now I see two visions—two houses in the precinct of nature—the first a structure of spirit for the abode of space or nothing; second, a structure of space for the abode of spirit, the all, the great, the powerful, and the conscious; the first, a minute affair, an atom; the second, a collocation of atoms forming a shell or larger structure for the abode of spirit, and this is formed by a heated or mobile, molecule conforming substance, suddenly cooled by oxygen or a cold temperature, when a shell is formed and indurated, and a hollow center made.

7. Symbol of the White Spark.

I introduce a new symbol ° the emblem which will represent the white spark, the circle or hollow globe, for this is what the white spark is, and this spark prevails throughout the universe. It is a hollow molecule, holding an air-tight reservoir, excluding everything but spirit or the ether.

8. The Spark is a Receptacle of Mind and a Potential of Force.

The white spark is alive. It has a shell formed of
