our old meteorology is based on the
heat theory. II the sun Is a magnetic
instead of hot body then the meteor
olOgy OF our national weather bureau
and Of all the old school OF meteorol-
ogists must be entirely reconstructed.
The practice Of medicine and surgery
| Is based upon the heat theory. If the
magnetic theory is established the art
OF therapeutics must be reconstructed.
The heat theory says that the heart
forces the blood through the veins as
| a pump forces water out OF n well
| The magnetic theory says that electric
| currents force the blood through the
heart and veins. The heat theory re-
CARDS the heart as pump, the mag
| netic theory says 1t is valve.
The difference between the two sys-
| tens is so radical that If the magnetic
| theory Is correct the whole pra tlcc
| OF surgery and medicine would need
be remodclled.
Our system of agriculture II based
upon the heat theory and includes the
| false idea that plants receive Their
| nourlshment from the soil The mag
| netlc theory says That all plant tood
comes from the atmosphere and IS car
rled into the plant on magnetic cur
| rents.
our chemistry is based on the heat
| theory and whom It's true basis is
| found 10 be magnetism the whole syH-
| tenn must he rcmodelled. The change
| cannot come too soon.
The accepted rules OF scientific
| thought are the results of false con-
| opptious by embryo scientists who
came 10 the front Just as the murky
| clouds OF the dark ages began To clear
| away. They have served their purpose
and must give way TO the new thought
| the new sciences, based upon magnet-
| ism as the cause. heat only local re-
| sult, Instead Of heat being the cause
and magnetism result as was held by
| the old school.
PROF Bigelow says the sun Is not a
1 hot but magnetic body and the new
| chief OF the weather bureau has de-
| termlned to make Bigelow's depart
ment a more prominent feature In the
| weather bureau.
The sun cannot be both hot and MARI
netlc because heat destroys magnet

| future science must rest on one or the
| other OF these theories.

wild ON the supposed revelations OF

10 prove positively that the sun is hot

Many supposed facts presented by
the spectrum await confirmation. It
