The Secret of RadioActivity.

A New Scientific Theory.

By PROFESSOR MORTON BARNES, B.A.

Radium is a force which is self-creat-ing since it causes water to boil indofmitely. Radium creates its own energy perpotiißlly, and hence its efficient cause becomes of tho nature of things eternal. It is the secret of perpetual motion and eternal youth. So far scientists have not yet been able to explain the miracle of radio-activity as it seems; its constant self-creating power and everlasting radiation has puzzled their minds, although the answer is not so difficult as tho fact.

We may, generally speaking, say tha source of everything in Nature is compressed heat in a vacuum. This compressed heat in the vacuum produces water because it contains oxygen and hydrogen gases in condensed form. Tho radio-active principle is created by means of the eternal generation of compressed heat from tho sun coming in Contact with the nitrogen and carbonic elements in tlie air, attracting also tlie oxygen that is in the atmosphere to blend with elements containing condensed hydrogen, thus creating water perpetually when boiled or perpetual radiation when compressed in the dark and brought to light. The element which contains the greatest amount of condensed heat contains the greatest amount of condensed water in oxygen and hydrogen because this compressed heat was originally steam which has become absorbed.

Compressed steam is then the fundamental source of radio-activity, hence when an atom containing compressed steam-heat is boiled in water it will continually produce spontaneous combustion, sending off emanation? or corpuscles, which perpetually create and add to the water already there, and hence Hie reason why it never boils away.

Now, the diamond contains the most compressed heat'—hence when it is crushed its particles should produce radio-activity for a very long time akin to uranium, liut this is not all about it, since radium is something which continually attracts and bottles up the heat rays of the sun. The vacuum of Nature is air-tight, but is filled with and ever attracts the radiance of the sun in tlie form of condensed ether. There is really no such thing as an abRolutc vacuum or nothingness, not even when both air-tight and free from Tfght. Tho vacuum is always abhorred by Nature, and she fills it with compressed ether, which is caused by driving out the air and the light. In the greatest absence of air is the greatest presence of compressed light, hence the source of electricity is nothing more than the heat and lignt of the sun compressed in a vacuum, which only becomes a force when the vacuum is opened and the air let in, and why it becomes a force is because heat compressed either as steam or as light is compelled by Nature to travel in tho air, but cannot travel when confined in a vacuum-

It follows, then, that in order to produce radium in solidified form a vacuum machine must be invented which expel: both tho air and light, leaving oniy compressed ether or light condense! and not manifest. Tho right absorbon placed therein will continually bottle up tho heat of tho sun, and thus produce perpetual radiation, or if boiled will continually create water by means of the condensed gases being allowed to cseap-u through a pipe in the water that is being boiled. In this way, Nature creates tho diamond by causing the.clement or medium to absorb tho rays of the sun along with compressed oxygen and hydrogen absorlied as condensed steam. The element used is, of course, coal, combined with other elements.

The pursuit of radium means tho creation of something out of nothing, as it appears, but it is not so really, for it is produced by tho eternal generation of heat through the boUlcd rays of tho sun compressed in tho vacuum, which must of necessity bo filled with condensed ether. If the compressed heat is solidified and combined with mercury and other elements, we get radium.

Radio-activity and electricity are practically the same thing, for radium is stored-up electric energy. Tho elements in the pitchblende tlie writer believes he has discovered, and that it might bo possible to produce radium by means of compressed heat in com pressed air. Tho day is not far distant when by means of radio-activity we shall not only learn how to control tho weather by means of compressed sunshine let loose, but also uso the force of radium or electricity to guard our coasts, run our ships and make them unsinkable by semi-aviation. War will hocome an impossibility and peace will reign supremo.

What is wanted in the meantime is more sunshine sent into the vacuum >f sorrowful lives and compressed iioarts to bring forth the radio-activity of joy in tho life and soul of humanity. Compressed sunshine let free is the .fundamental source of radio-activ-ity, and the ultimate cure of consumption, cancer, heart disease and all forms of pain and decay. What a boon to mothers to kill p/iin by compressed steam or radio-activity and the power of oxygen incorporated in the human systom.

The conquest of death is within tho reach of man when he ceases to compress his fellow-beings. I'adium and alcohol combined by means of the two steams through a distilling pipe previously compressed in a vacuum should produce- the elixir of life and .wive the liquor question for all timo.

The power of oxygen is coming very much to tho front, as is illustrated by the. now oxypathor introduced by Mr. Warnes. Wo might venture to suggest that when oxygen is imbibed as a liquor, blended with ordinary alcoholic liquors, wo should have tho elixir vitao. When oxygen and alcohol and tho radio-activity of tlio sun are made into a compound and incorporated in the human system, it will raise high the scarlet standard of the blood, reduce obesity and make tlie body germproof. Thon science and religion will be at one, and the Divinity of Man will vindicate, explain and prove doctrine of the Christian faith in free catholicity. Social harmony and unselfish love- arc the necessary environment to produce tho super or electric man, together vrith the oominunion of human beings with guardian angels, whom at present we can only but dimly perceive clairvoyantly through tlie veil.

One thing is certain—that, those ivbo have suffered in the outer darkness and have endured the cross and the vacuum of human sympathy more readily absorb the compressed sunshine of God, tlie power of which they will prove by their own humility, which alone can overcome tho pride of the world, for some things are "hid from the wisn and prudent and revealed unto babes."
