Cause and Time of Occurrence Discovered.
BY Richard Mansili. Rock Island, III.
A pamphlet of 60 pages, written by man
who has evidently done a vast amount of solid
thinking on the physical phenomena of nature,
and has built up system Of philosophy of his
own on the ground work that "every particle
of matter in the universe denser than the ave.
rage density, is trying to attract heat or electro
city so that it may expand and stop its motion
through space; and G conrerso and that the mo-
ton of matter through space is in proportion
to its density" The author lacks facility in the
use Of language to express his ideas, writes even
ungrammatically; and has, in addition, reason to
complain Of his printer for very sloveuly proof
reading. Yet the pamphlet is not unworthy of
the attention of physicists.
