RESEARCHES Of An
AUBURN SCIENTIST

Mr.. Orv.lle L. Leach OF Auburn is one
Of the most interesting citizens OF Rhode
Island and his reputation as a scientific
investigator has extended far beyond the
confines OF the commonwealth.
The results OF some OF Mr.. Leach's re-
searches are already familiar to his fellow
citizens but In a recent interview he made
still further disclosures of what he
claims to have accomplished that are cal
culated to challenge the attention OF all
who are OF an inquring or scientific bent
OF mind.
the complicated exhibitions In nature.
there are only a few simple fundamental
laws, which are the key TO the knowledge
OF the universe.
His remarkable discovery, particularly
that OF the principle OF radio-activity. have
created great interest in the scientific
world
Mr.. Leach says: In science, like every
thing else, success comes from knowl-
edge of fundamental principles. When
these are known the processes OF nature
can be duplicated. IT is from study OF
natural phenomena that / have been
able 10 accomplish what seems to the
layman almost miraculous.
'T have learned the secret of tapping
the invisible spiritual storehouse OF the
universe: TO construct the mechanisms
which will absorb the invisible material
of the universe and eject IL as a visible
force as has recently been explained In
the newspaper throughout the country
under the heading OF 'Radio-Activity Ex-
planned.
The newspaper ratio-activity articles
which have dealt with Mr.. Leachs con-
tention showed that his discovery Is to
the effect that by mixing the water OF
certain spring on his land with soluble al
bumen as found in milk, shellfsh or other
nitrogenized substances, and then heat
ing the mixture TO 100 degrees. and sud
denly cooling II to 80 degrees in rarihed
atmosphere or where there Is a reduced
atmospheric pressure. the compound in
stantly becomes luminous. and II kept in
a cool place TO prevent evaporation, re-
mains so for many hours, In one expert
ment as long as ~ hours.
This solution must be used as a thin
coating on a porous substance, such as
decayed wood In order to get a quick ac-
tion OF the cooling process, which Mr..
Leach claims Is an important factor. Ac-
cording to his explanation, the spring
water used in the experiment contains an
alkaline solution OF iron. In the cooling
process he states that molecules form
with a centre OF iron and a coating or
shell of albumen. The heat expands these
molecules and the sudden cooling hardens
a shell and at the final cooling OF the In
terror OF the moecule a vacuum Is form
ed, or what is popularity called vacuum,
but which the discoverer says is re-
serve OF spiritual or invisible substance
similar TO an x-ray.
He claims that the natural lines OF mag
netism are sent TO the centre OF the in
visible hollow molecules (Which are SINH
lar TO incandescent electric lamps or ex-
hausted bulbs) and meeting at centre
or breech are turned out again as free
end lines of force or light that Is. the In
ert circuits OF magnetism are broken into
free ends.
THE NERVE CELLS.
Mr.. Leach further explains:
These newly discovered principles OF
nature show that the nerve cells OF our
bodies are simply mechanisms for absorb
ing spirit, which Is consciousness and
power.
I'm our bodies the great heating and
cooling process OF nature Is constantly
forming vacuo cells in our nerves. The
oxygen OF our blood acts on the warm
tissues and life comes termination Is
the result OF a warming and then a cool
ing. Day and night, hot and cold. are
simply exhibitions of the poetry of nature
by which the great miracles OF the uni
verse are performed.
Combustion is simply an exhibition OF
this poetry. The passage OF amperes or
heat or the rotation of the molecules or
