years ago. In 1855 the writer of the Sc
cret Doctrine asserted that the 'charac-
teristics of matter will be multiplied and
by the time nature fully develops its next
characteristic-let us call Il permeability
this new characterize will correspond to
the next sense of man."
Scientific discoveries are attended with
some danger. for materialistic science is
fast becoming magic. According to this
prediction regarding the 'permeability of
matter" such discoveries as the X-ray
must prove "a death blow TO the old ma
terialistic theories" The X-ray is a dis
covery. and a demonstration OF Invisible
