cell formation and thus growth. Re-
member that the chemicals are mat
ter therefore can be broken up into
atoms and the atoms further broken
mp into particles of force or ENERGY.
The whole plant is a chemical laba-
tory which operates only in the pres
ence Of sunlight and sunshine? More
ENERGY.
Our stock, eats the plants and con-
verts it's ENERGY into bone, blood,
muscle ETC., of the living animal,
which when consumed by other ami
mails or man supplies to them-EN-
ERGY. All these things are merely
machines-that is-converters of EN-
ERGY into one form or another and
as far as terrestrial life is concerned
the principle source of that ENERGY
is the sun.
If upon looking out your window
you saw a car going by you can pene-
trate your usual conditioned view
point in just the same way-from dol
lar sign spectacles to a scientific
chronological view point You will thus
discover that the mechanical car is,
simply, matter processed and put to-
gether in a certain configuration so
that when an electric spark is applied
to mixture of gasoline and air the
resulting explosion produces move
ment of certain parts of the mechan-
ism, which is so synchronized as to
propel the vehicle.
Now taking the scientific, techno-
logical slant at that process what do
we find upon analysis? The electric
spark (ENERGY) applied to a mix
ture of gasoline (another form of
ENERGY and air. which is composed
of gasses-(more forms of ENERGY
produces an explosion (release of EN-
ERGY) which moves (ENERGIZES)
certain parts and finally propels the
vihicle into motion which is another
form of ENERGY.
If you wish you could take anything
in the above-say the gasoline-and
to crude oil, to the well into the
bowls of the earth and still further
into the prehistoric plants and animals
from which the oil was formed in
early geologic ages, and back then to
the suns ENERGY.
Start with anything and where do
you end? Always your basic founda-
ton is ENERGY. And a mighty fine
base it is-because in all its forms
and appearances it is always metri-
cal, measurable. Being measurable it
is constant not variable and is
solid base to build upon Now if you
can sit at your window and analyze
what you see clear back through cons
of time and have as result clear
basis of FACTS, CAUSES, EFFECTS
and MORE FACTS to build on down
to date, you have begun to master
the technique of the Technologist. And
notice the laws of physical science
are memorable throughout.
