According to the above classification
physical matter is limited to the cosmic
elements, and of these only the four lower
ones-alr. fire, water, earth-are purely
physical. The fifth-ether-is semi-mat ate
rial, and is hardly known yet, that which
has usually been called ether being, as
stated, the tejasic tattwa. 1t is said that
toward the close OF this cycle ether will be
seen in the air, and that it will dominate
over the purely physical elements during
the whole of the succeeding cycle. There
are still two other cosmic elements-of a
superphysical nature-which at present
are entirely beyond human perception
and will not become known until ages
hence.
The tattwas are composed of matter, but
| not of physical matter. 1t would be more
convenient to use the term substance in
describing them, and this term may prop
erly be used in reference to all planes of
being up to that of pure spirit.
In trying to determine between matter,
substance and spirit, and whether any
particular object is referable to the physi-
cal plane or to a higher one, it may be
advisable to remember that there are four
great planes of existence: Physiological
mental. psychic and spiritual. For each
of these planes there are appropriate
vehicles OF action. In the physiological
the cosmic elements; in the psychic the
tattwas and tanmatras; in the mental,
there are vehicles or bases for the
manifestation of thought, which are
closely allied to, but above, the bases on
psychic plane; while on the spiritual
plane substance is of so fine a texture that
it is impossible to describe it with any
words known to the English language.
There is actually a substance utilized
when one thinks, but it bears little corre-
| spondence to physical matter. Each
thought is composed of substance, Just as
tablets composed OF wood. Thoughts
thus possess forms, depending on the ma
ture of the thought, and they persist as
entities for greater or less length of time
after they are projected from the mind
which gives them expression. These
thought entities may travel with more
than lightning rapidity. One can think
Of the sun or of the pole star as quickly as
he can think of New York or Chicago, and
no sooner is place thought of than the
thought is projected to that place.
If man thinks of his wife, his child or
his friend, there is instantaneously formed
in his mind subjective image of that per-
son, corresponding in clearness with the
intensity of his thought, and depending
also on his knowledge OF the appearance
of the person.

The Airship That Rochester Man Is Building

A telegraphic dispatch to the New York
Herald gives some interesting particulars
of great alrship that is being constructed
in Rochester, N. Y, and which the ex-
perts believe Will at last solve the problem
of aerial transportation.
The inventor and owner. is John F.
Cooley, and lie has entered into a con-
tract with P. P. Dickinson of Rochester
whereby he agreed to construct an airship
and accomplish at least four ascensions
during the present year. The contract
specifies that the ship shall be 200 feet
long, with q sail area of Il, 900 feet and
capable of carrying at least six persons.
Work upon the ship is well under way,
and without the intervention of unfore-
seen contingencies the first ascent will be
made within the next six weeks. Mr..
Cooley describes his machine as follows:

lifting tendency all over the under surface

OF different kinds excited by applying
magnets to the patient-it does not follow
that thought is physical or that the con-
scious soul is product of matter Elec-
tficity is not physical force, though
when proper media are secured physical
effects may be produced by electricity.
Thought force is as much finer than elec-
tricity as the latter is finer than clay.
Thought substance is of an interetheric
nature, much finer than what is known as
astral matter. but on proper conditions
being effected it will set up vibrations in
the tattwic essences. and these, in turn,
react on the grosser elements of chemistry,
so that the thought image is projected into
objectivitv and made visible to the physi-
cal eyes.
In connection with thought photog-
raphy it may be recalled that successful
attempts have also been made in photo
graphing sound, Professors Halleck and
Muckey of Columbia College having No ade

tionae of this is similar to the expert.

duplication of the spoken words.
That it was possible to convert light into
electricity has been long suspected, but
how to reconvert the electricity so formed
back into hight again was the puzzle.
A few years ago an instrument was de-
vised whereby it became easy to view the
edge of the sun and see the magnificent
exhibitions of solar force in the shape OF
flames as they burst forth from the suns
surface The instrument Is called the
spectroscope. 1t is formed of a com bina-
ton of prisms.
A savant named Noad in his investiga-
tons in eIectrics found that piece of Ice
land spar interposed between the eye
and source of light rendered visible the
light, which was otherwise obscured by
the passage of magnetic ray.
On these discoveries and deductions is
founded the telectroscope.
The transmitting apparatus consists of
| box divided into three compartments.
A circular hole at the front end of the box
admits the ray of light, which passes to
prism fixed III the first dividing wall of the
box. The prism decomposes the light,
and the magnetic ray is allowed to fall

other component rays being excluded. This
magnetic ray excltes an electric wave or
current in the coil, which traverses the
conducting wire TO the distant station
The receiving apparatus is somewhat
similar to the transmitter, save in a few
particulars. When the electric current
arrives at the receiver it forms a magnetic
rayin the center of the receiving coil and
is projected upon a prism, having first
passed through a properly shaped piece
of Iceland spar. Emerging from the
prism, it is viewed by the person who re-
reives 1t through magnifying lens and
appears of viole hue.
AS yet there is some little to be done in
the matter of detail to make the telectro-
scope available for all purposes. But the
needed labor is along lines that are now
well defined and understood. The whole
device is exceedingly simple when once
known.

witness the scene of the inaugural.

home, and ringing up Central to con-
meet US with the Grand Opera-house, see
as we'll as hear all of the attractions that
are enhancing the audience.
True, there may be men who would not,
for worlds, have a telectroscope in their
office; but, all the same, they would
eagerly employ it elsewhere.

agreed hour with Photographic plate at
his head. and DIR. Istrati went to bed at
the same hour at Campana, 300 kiiometers
distant, and willed that his likeness
should appear on the Photographic plate
at Bucharest, the result proved to them
that thought could not only be photo
graphed, but photographed at distance.
Dr. lstrati either consciously or un-
consciously formed in his mind a subjec-
tive picture of himself and wished or wiled
that 1t should be transferred to the photo
graphic plate. The result appears per-
fectly natural to Eastern students. The
only thing on which the result of the ex-
pertinent depends is whether proper re-
ceivlng media is procured. With this in
hand and an effort of will on the part of
the transmitter the experiment is quite
sure to succeed. 1t would seem, however.
that the Photographic plates are capable

sensitive, for it is reported that in some
instances two hours were required to pro-
duce the pictures. When the proper re-
celving media are obtained the photo
graphing should be instantaneous.
Regar ding the points delineated by DR..
Baraduc that when the magnetometer was
held near the left side of the body the
needle was repulsed distance of five de-
grees, and when near the right side 1t was
attracted through an arc of twenty de-
grees, it presents problem in the study OF
the magnetic and electrical forces of the
body which should lead up to something
further
The statement volunteered to the New
York press to the effect that DR.. Baraduc
has photographed soul as it emanated
from the left hand is incorrect. 1t is i'm
possible now to go fully into this subject,
as 1t would involve study of the several
souls IN man and of the various auras
surrounding him and the emanations
of various kinds that proceed from him.
The astral body-or, rather. bodies, for
there are several of them-are loosely de-
nominated souls, but these would not pass
out through the left hand. There are also
various thought bodies also grouped
under the generic term ''soui," which
may be projected by man, but their point
OF egress from the body is not the left
hand. One might, however. by effort OF
the will, project some of the vapors OF
magnetic fluids of his body through the
hand, or such a result might ensuc auto,

set up by the proximity of a magnetom-
eter. or from some other especially nerv'

Locomotion is quality of this tattwa,
for motion in all directions is motion in a
circle, large or small. When to the motion
which keeps up the form of the different
tattwas is added the stereotyped motion
of vayu locomotion is the result.
Teias tattwa, or luminiierous "ether,"
has been confounded with akasa by many
scientists, as they considered akasa and
radiant matter to be identical. 1t is
true that the phenomena of light would
have no explanation were it not that there
is 'luminiferous ether" and the vibra-
tions of this tattwa produce light, but it is
quite distinct from both akasa and the
cosmic ether. One may ask, if these vi
brations produce light, and this tattws
pervades all space, why is it that light is
not produced to our eyes in dark room.
The real fact is that we must make a diff
ference between the vibrations of the
tattwas and the vibrations of the media
which transmit these Impressions to our
senses. 1t is not the vibrations of the
tattwas that cause our perceptions, but
the ethereal vibrations transferred to diff
ferent media of gross matter. Our senses
are at present attuned only to catch i'm
pressions from physical sources and we
cannot directly perceive the subtitle centers
from which the impressions are indirectly
derived. The luminiferous ether is pres
ent Just as much in the darkened room as
in the space without. If we could succeed
in bringing ourselves en- rapport with the
real condition of things the darkeued
room would cease to be dark with US. We
are not yet able to see the vibrations in
the tattwa without some medium of rela-
ton between ourselves and it.
In this luminiferous ether lies the ex-
planation OF the discoveries so recently
made. In the case of the X ray certain
quality of electrical force is used which
enables luminiferous ether vibrations to
react upon the media surrounding, and
the molecules of wood, iron or of the
human body are thrown into similar
rate of vibration, lighting up the mass of
physical matter and permitting an un-
obstructed vision through it. In the case
of thought pA Biography film or sensitive
plate OF such quality has been prepared
that it is able to catch the vibrations of
light and color that are projected toward it.
A film has been discovered that is capable
of being transformed into the teiasic
vibration. In addition to light and color
this tattwa also transmits vibrations of
heat. The vibrations take place at right
angles to the direction of the wave. This
makes the tattwa wave IN an upward
direction, and the center of the direction
is, of course, the direction of the wave.
One whole vibration of teias makes the
figure OF a triangle. In this figure

shown in the cut as offering the most ad-
vantages from the standpoint of equi-

combined with great supporting strength.
When / finished had a model of type
of airship which satisfied me that was

Each tattwa produces in gross matter
vibrations similar to its own, and the form
into which vibrations throw the atnlo-
spheric air is true clew to the tattwa
which is for the time predominant. The
secondary quality of akasa is space, the
interstices between the microscopic points
serving to give space to the ethereal
minima and affording them room for
locomotion.
The vibrations of vayu tattwa, tangifer-
Gus ''ether," are described as being spheri-
cal in form, and its motion is at right
angles to the wave. On paper these vibra-
tions would be represented thus:
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-26

A B is the direction of the wave; B G
the direction of the vibration; and G A
the line along which (seeing that the SYM
metrical arrangement of the atoms of a
body are not changed) the vibratory atom
must return to its position in the line A B.
Expansion is quality of tejas tattwa.
This naturally follows from the shape and
form of motion which is given to this
ethereal vibration.
Apas tattwa, or gustiferous ''ether," in
shape resembles the half-moon, and is
said to move downward. Its direction is
opposite to that of tejas tattwa, and this
force causes contraction. 1t possesses the
quality of smoothness. AS the atoms of
any body in course of contraction come
near each other and assume the semi
lunar shape of the apas they easily glide
over each other. The very shape secures
for the atoms easy motion. It is repre-
