The machine and its attendant "pbe-
nomena to come" belong to what Rrazelle
calls his Twentieth Century prophecy. The
Twentieth Century prophecy Is a foreWord
Of what the world will be at the end of this
century. 1t is a big subject, one for which
You should draw breath before tackiing.
Bracelets assertions are whoppers, and IL
Is best to take one at time
Accordingly, one can defer the full reve-
lation OF the Twentieth Century until one
gets little farther along, and meanwhile
try to find wherein Sir William Crookes. the
celebrated Englishman, agrees with Rem
jamin Brazelle. comparatively uneducated

scientific world as have considered his
claims.
Among the various reports newspaper
and magazine. that have reached the United
States concerning the study of radium the
new metal. Is the unqualified statement that
the properties of this metal convince Sir
William Crookes that the old theory OF mat
ter Is erroneous The old theory held that
the atoms of the elements consist OF in
Invisible units of matter. The new holds
mat each atom is "a whole stellar system
OF infinitely smaller but absolutely identi-
cal units. all in orbital motion"
The hydrogen atom consists of 700 such
units or ions. The identity of such sub
stances depends upon the number OF such
ions contained in each atom thus IL 200 ions
in each atom produce oxygen. and 1s7, 200
ions Ia the number given for gold. The ma
ture of the ions Is declared to be electrical,
or. when YOU come down to 1t. electricity
This is. in brief. the chief deduction.
Strangely enough. every one of the ac
complishments which Brazelle claims to
have wrought are through electricity six
years ago. on the premise that this was the
one energy" in nature. that it was mat
ter in fact. he openly stated that through

This mechanical law governs all matter
both primary and secondary. In discovering
what electricity is and how il acts, L have
discovered the keynote to the whole prob

trtcity is and how It acts on both primary
and secondary elements 1 could not have
succeeded in the transmutation OF metals
into one another and the extraction. or
transmutation. of clay into metals.
