progressed till the fifth race and the fourth
round is reached; there will be three more
globes from the moon chain TO come over
before the lunar chain wholly disappears
from the stage of action. BY this system
and by it alone can the influences of the
moon and the other planets and on the
earth be accounted for; without il no sys-

seasons, influences on plants, animals and
lunar effects in insanity can be formulated;
without it no interplanetary communication
is provable or thinkable. One turn of this
key 10 cosmology by the masters has made
the inner spheres of our solar and stellar
systems luminous.
HAS EXPLAINED CHEMISTRY.
Our chemistry was a chaos. the atom was
a speculation, the laws Of affinity and reac-
ton were meaningless, heat, light, sound
and electricity mere 'imponderable agents
or modes of motion (Which meant that
We did not know anything about them).
now the atoms are traced back to One. 1t
is traced back to the astral realm, TO the
mental realm and to the great spirit realm.
where all expressions start. All the laws
of action and reaction. OF loves and hates,
marriage and divorce among the elements
are noted. Light, sound and numbers are
the basis of all manifestation. They are
the Alpha and Omega of all material and
psychological phenomena. Biology was
also speculation and ignorance personihed;
now the theosophical microscope opens up
the anatomy and physiology of the infinite
hosts of animalculae, microbes, germs of
health and of disease and shows how they
form on the astral plane, built upon the
mental bodies, back of the astral plane. and
float over into the physical plane and are
built upon the astral models which are back
of the physical plane. The great ocean of
life, DIVA" is discovered. Life OH all
planes; life everywhere. There is no death.
Now life and immortality are brought TO
light and all men have them abundantly.
The keys to all heavens and Nirvanas are
given to all the sons and daughters of men.
The anthropology and ethnology i'm Occi-
dental curriculums were absolutely incoher-
ent until the keys were given through the
osophy. The stories of mans appearance

buried millions of ages ago. The differ
ences and degrees of development among
men, examples of splendid genius among
low people, of idiots among the highest, are
accounted for. The appearance and disap-
pearance of civilization are not explained;
the cause of mans fall, the origin and
purposes of evil are all left in mystery. The
keys to all these mysteries are now accessi-
BILE. Theosophy accounts for mans appear
ance and gives all the details of his coming
and the purposes of his visit 10 this planet.
He comes for his own experience and to
help others. 1t explains why man fell into
matter, the differences in condition, what
evil is, what are its uses, what causes il,
how it can be cured. The anthropology of
the Occident has been enriched by the his
tory of three whole races not therein men
toned. 1t points out the causes OF racial
and national decay. 1t accounts for genius,
and for idocy and mediocracy. 1t opens up
all the sealed history OF the past. At its
command all the dead of all the ages are
marshaled. Under the sweep of its magic
wand the earth opens and the sleepers
awake. the sea rolls the dead ashore, the
prehistoric millions arise, the Lemurians
from the bottom Of the Pacific, the Allan
teams from the Atlantic, the hosts of the
buried dead from the jungles of Africa,
from beneath the sands of Egypt, the
Mayas, the Toltecs, the Aztecs. the cave
dwellers, the clif-dwellers and the mound
builders all come forth and pass in review.
We behold their languages, customs, hab-
it's, attachments, their inventions, architec-
ture, means of travel, modes of writing and
costumes. We hear anew their political
speeches, their songs and mantrams and
martial and religious ceremonies, their fes-
tai rejoicings and funeral dirges, and their
homestead Iullabies. We sec them again
born. develop, decay and die. All the
tragedy of their history is enacted before
us. To each one these records ARE closer
than breathing and nearer than hands and
feet"
OTHER THINGS IT HAS DONE.
Theosophy has done even more than this
for each living person.; each individual. His
own makeup, his own career, his present
condition, his future destiny. All ques-
tions are answered.: Has he a soul? What
is il composed of? Where does IL abide?
Where did it come from? Is it immortal?
IL so. how? What becomes of il at death?
What relation has man to the plants and

is duty? What is righteousness? What are
the possibilities of the soul? May we ever
see and know the good and great OF ages
past? All these questions are answered,
not by creeds nor 10y speculation or
theories, but by experience. knowledge and
wisdom. If men do not have this wisdom
il is their own fault. The keys to all this
wisdom are accessible. and if men do not
unlock these mysteries they alone are
responsible. Is it not wrong to neglect
these opportunities? Is il not unreason-
able? If men would refuse 10 use the tel

unknown, or the microscope and complain
