BEGINS at the point where you
become blind, outside Of your
thick, coarse atmosphere. as the
fish becomes blind when brought
to the top of his ocean" .
Mr.. Moore tells you: e.
Outer space Is practically with
out temperature or light. The
rays Of the sun do not become
either light or heat, or electricity,
until they encounter the denser
molecules Of the air near the
earth and the invisible dust notes
and cloud particles in suspension
in the air, and through such inter
ference are transmitted from
etheric vibrations into other forms
Of energy-heat, light, electricity,
ETC."
You know that the light in the
electric bulb is caused by the cur
rent struggling through the re-
sisting substance of the little film
inside the glass. What we call
sunlight is the effect of the suns
rays made visible by the radiance
Of tiny particles of atmospheric
dust.
Men could not live without those
little "motes" that dance in the
sunbeam. Without them, no rain
would fall, men would starve.
Every raindrop falls with a tiny
dust particle at its center.
So from dust specks, Of which a
million might lie unperceived in
the palm Of your hand, we get
rain and sunlight. 1t is an inter-
esting ocean above US.
"There are human beings that
live on q thin slice Of space, with
burning heat greater than that Of
any blast furnace under them, and
icy cold hundreds of degrees colder
than the North Pole above them.
Yet they live in perfect safety, in
tense heat below, intense cold
above. But they do not know
enough to use the heat or the cold
within easy reach
"They build little fires to keep
warm, digging for coal, and they
store up ice to chill their water in
summer" ....--
If you heard that, you might
say: what queer people. Why
do they not reach up for the re-
frigeration, and dig down a little
way for the heat?" We are the
human beings mentioned. A few
miles under our feet the earth is
intensely hot, hotter than molten
iron. All the heat we could need
can be found down there. And
down there, eventually, We shall
find it; there will be no longer
any coal supply problems.
We shall get all our heat and
power from the interior of the
earth some day. Scientists are
working at it now. Then the cry
will be, What shall we do when
the earth's central heat is used
up?" The answer will be that the
suns heat will be used next.
1t will last many millions Of
years longer.
When we dig down for heat
stored in the earth we shall also
reach up, II we choose. for unlim-
tied refrigeration above us-no
danger of exhausting that. Just
above our heads the thermometer
would read 100 degrees below
zero" The thermos bottle idea
would enable us to bring the cold
down. There are commercial pos
sibilities in the atmosphere. That
will interest many. Select your
temperature and go to it in your
machine.
In another century there will be
no more digging for. oil. For every
square yard of earth will yield
heat we'll" with unlimited power.
Even now we get freshness,
COOLER weather." from above US.
Says Mr.. Moore: !
"The northwest wind always
brings physical energy, because 1t
has a downward component OF mo-
ton that draws air from above,
where 1t is free Of impurities and
where high electrification has
changed a considerable quantity Of
its oxygen into ozone, in which
condition II remains but short
time after reaching the lower po-
tential near the earth's surface"
Electricity, at play, high up,
changes oxygen into ozone, max
ing proud man swell his chest and
say, IF / felt any better l could
not stand it." Shelley. when he
wrote his ode to the West Wind"
y 20 wild, west wind, thou breath OF
autumn's being" etc, did not know
that his unseen hands" driving
the dead leaves had fingers of
ozone, made Of oxygen by the ac-
ton OF electricity.
When you look up, at night,
think of yourself as some she'll
fish looking up from the waters
depth at the lights of city.
Above US, in the sky, shine the
lights of the great celestial city.
We are sentenced to live for
while at the bottom of our little
