II wCll-nade man be extended on the ground,
his aims at right angles with his body, a circle
making the navel the centre, will just take In the
head, tic finger ends and the feet. The distance
from "tCc to too" is precisely the same as that be-
tween the tips Of the fingers when the arms are
CNteudCd. The lcngth OF the body is Just six
times that of the foot; while the distcuce from
the edge of the hair the fore head to the end Of

OF the sNty-tWO primary clements known in
nature, OUly eighteen arc found in the human
body, aud of these seven arc metlic. Iron is
found in the blood, phosphorus In the brain (;
limestone in the bile lime in the bones dust and
asbes in all. Not only these eighteen human
elements, but the whole sixiy.twO, of which the
universe is made, have their essential basis in the
four slbstauccs--oNygcn, hydrogen, nitrogen,
and ca bUn--Tcprese enti1g the more familiar names
Of fire, water, saltpetre, and charcoal. And such

But looking ct him in another direction, these
elements shadow forth the higher qualities of q
diyiner nature, or OF an immortal existence. In
that spark Is the cllOric which speaks of irreprcs-
sible activity in that drop is the water which
speaks OF purity in that grain is the force by
which he subducs all things to himsclf-makcs
the vice creation the suppiicr Of his wants, and
the serVitor Of his pleasures; while in that atom
Of chercJal there is q diamond, which speaks at

TeSistCss progress. There is nothing which out
shines il; it is purcr than the deW-drOp. "NIoth
ard rust" corrupt it not, nor do ordinary fires
destroy it; while il cuts its way alike through
b ass and adAmant, and hardest steel. In that
light we see an eternal progression towards
onmi,ciencc; in that purity, The good of divine
IatuIc; in that tinGestructiOiiity, an immortal eX-
