attention to dizzy calculation. in re-
lation to the corpuscle, as made by an
eminent electromentologist.
Mr.. Brashur states: eff you fill
tiny vessel one centimeter-two-fifth
inch cube-with hydrogen corpuscles
you can place therein in round num-
bers, five hundred and twenty-five oc-
tillions 1928 100000, ,OO0, coo, 10000, ,O0O.-
0O0,OOO of them. 1t they are allowed
to run out of the vessel at the rate of
one thousand per second, it would re-
quire seventeen quintillions of years to
empty it," This stupendous deduction
is beyond the grasp of the ablest mind;
it sinks those two most wonderful con-
cepts-"a center Of force" and "math-
ematical abstraction Into oblivion,
and it necessarily follows that where
it requires one hundred septillion cor
puscles to weigh one drugstore grain,
it also requires All enormous fractional
division of the seventy millioneth part
of an inch.
We cannot question the accuracy of
this, because anyone versed in the
science of mathematics can easily ar
rive at deductions which, altho correct,
are 80 far beyond his comprehension
that he cannot even commence to
think of millioneth part of the sums
entirety. Electrical oscillations or vi
brations, that is, corpuscles, rage with
speed beyond all imagination; they
follow so fast upon each other that
they literally burn the elements thru
which they pass, resulting in the
strangest and most wonderful meta
morphosis the mind can conceive,
namely: from . current of natures
electricity to an atom of matter. Ev-
cry shaft Of lightning, so-called, is
nothing more than cOngeries of elec-
irons meeting and c0alescing in an in
fnitesimal vacuum caused by the dis
turbance and friction of diametrically
opposed atmospheric bodies seeking
equilibrium-and electrostatic repul-
sion being nil but electro-dynsmie at
traction Of the earth intensified, this
tiny speck of concentrated energy
gains a momentum that ignites the at
mosphere in its wake. The phenOme-
non that we see is as harmless as the
fiery tail of rocket, but there is nc

could Withstand the tiny mass in its
van. The awful velocity of lightning
can be attributed to only one thing
ard that is, its freedom from gravita

to the natural force, but the potenc!
, of its electrons, drawn together artifi
cially, is infinitely less, and If electro
