gives it motion and keeps il Ia ia place

that this ideal is natural beginning of
creation. such as ever have been aud

endless and unlimited universe.
Chaotic Space Pun ef Matter.
Chaotic space is full of unorganized
matter called ether. This must be 50,
for there can be no vacuum in nature
If any space Is "A vacuum. no matter IN
il, some cluster of stars would certainly
fall into IL and our solar system, IN
cluding the sun and AL the bodies IN u
can have no more matter than any
other space, for that would unbalance
the equilibrium and this could not
continue. The nearest 20 a vacuum
there u the space between the planets
and outer epace must contain more
matter than the space between our
planets.
! hold that the ether Of space con-
denscs 10 electricity. electricity 10 the
gasses. the gases 10 liquids and the
liquids To the more solid forms Of mat

space, after ages of time, perhaps 10 us
millions of years. the ether OF
space would become sufficiently con
densed 10 form field of electricity.
By electro field ! mean that which we
find connected with a natural magnet.
We know that these magnets have au
electric field, and that u current OF
electricity continually circulaies
through them, reaching out into space
and constituting perpetual notion,

every case electricity moves IN a cf-

tor fails into a body of electricity. We
can change every known substance 20

ariiy work both ways, and therefore,
every substance must be made OF con-
denhcd electricity.
