It will be observed that nitrogen does not appear in this elimination process, hence, it is not an excrement, but is an external force with which eliminated elements unite. It intrudes itself between these elements and oxygen, hence they are dead.

The law of multiple proportions makes nitrogen a constant quantity in five compounds of nitrogen and oxygen in exactly the proportions of these eliminations.

This demonstrates the origin of the valence series of eight, as shown in our first valence table with its rising and falling inflections.

It is noticeable that these five oxygen quantities are all divisible by 4, Helium.

The fact that the first compound contains N 14 and O 8, shows that Oxygen is divisible into heat units or original electrons, hence, heat is divisible by the interjection of a non-conducting element, such as carbon, and silicon, which, in the valence series mark off the rising and the falling periods. This we know is true in nature, the division of a body gives it greater radiating surface.

The process of blending and elimination logically disintegrates the aggregated body to the point of total exhaustion.

This is the underlying law which causes all bodies to cast off their living fruits at the surface, not only in vegetation, but also in the animal reproduction.

We shall now begin the elimination process.

As each element is evolved out of the center, a helium unit is released, to that extent decreasing the central store of atomic force.

The blending of these units is a digestive process and gives remarkable results.

This is the atomic weight of water, which becomes the first common molecular pabulum, hence it contains in potentiality the creative powers.

By the release of water the ash, 32, is eliminated. This is the atomic weight of Sulphur. It is a chemical fact that when hydrogen sulphide is burned in a small volume of oxygen, water is formed and sulphur is deposited.

The element set free is Neon, 20, an inert gas which will not unite with compounds.

Thus we find the origin of valence or combining power of elements; it is in moisture and heat, when these are exhausted bodies fall apart. The water of crystallization binds elements together, hence hydrogen controls valence.

Water, the first remove from the hydrogen spiral, has a common combining power with an affinity for Nitrogen and Oxygen, and mechanically unites with carbon. Hydrogen has a valence of I.

Oxygen, two removes from the spiral, has a known valence of II.

Nitrogen, three removes from the spiral, has a known valence of III.

Carbon, four removes from the spiral, has a known valence of IV.

Therefore the spiral is the axis of the body.

We shall now attempt to demonstrate the cosmic process by which this elimination of elements occurs.

The first elimination is that of sulphur, therefore we may expect to find a spiral body in operation, because sulphur is considered a product of combustion. If hydrogen sulphide be burned in a small supply of oxygen solid sulphur is deposited and water is formed.

It must be noted that one Helium unit, 4, disappears with each elimination, also one valence unit between periods, with its accompanying wave.

It is not necessary to repeat the whole diagrams.

This leaves Helium as an atmosphere to the spiral. It will neither unite to form compounds nor burn.

That this is an exchange between the atomic and molecular fields is manifest by the functions of valence and Helium units. In each elimination one valence unit is set free, 1.

Also one Helium unit is set free, 4.

We may use one of our previous diagrams to illustrate this phenomenon.

As these bodies cool and take their orbital positions, their meteoric tails will disappear and they will pursue a controlled course about the central body.

This illustrates the formation of the second series in our valence table, from Neon to Chlorin. This is identically the process by which planetary systems are formed. These suc
