THE FARMER CAN BECOME A MAGICIAN by intellect. We once proved that by the use of lime or an alkali vegetables can be made to grow IN SAND. A tomato plant was planted in a mixture of sand and plasterer's mortar (a mixture of quick lime and sand) and a bushel of tomatoes were gathered from this one plant. The lime makes the sand soluble and acts the same as manure which produces carbonic acid which at the moment of its formation acts as a solvent of sand and this gives growth. Water is the great element of life and growth--with the heating effect of the sun and the alternations of temperature or cooling after heating we augment the life and growth. I will reprint some more of the articles which were in THE LATCH KEY, as they seemed to strike the readers more impressibly than anything which I ever wrote, and in fact THE LATCH KEY seemed to have hypnotic influence. First of all IT WAS ANONYMOUS and no author's name appeared and further it was given away. One lady in later years found out the author and wrote to me for a few copies, saying she could not help crying when she read paragraph 37. Perhaps the paragraph took on the "poetical" and thus reached her sentiments. 37. The Secret of Life! The little chapel peacefully resting under the overhanging trees, with the solemn graveyard beside it, tells the story of life's longings and miseries. Yet within the little chapel, however humble, can be learned the secret of life's joy and success and the eternal happiness of the soul! Life's sentiments are fragrant, space only is fraught with pain! Spirit fledges space, unlocks the caverns of misery and sheds the light in the gloom. Man grovels in the dark mid the skulls of despair till he lists to the whisper of spirit. The lisping pines, the rustling oaks, the sunshine in the meadow and the moonlight on the hill speak in accents calm and clear. Our motto: "SPIRITUS EXCELLO." Water is the great agent of life or conformation as it is mobile. Molecules which are round when whirled or heated take to orbits, but the metallic substances having molecules of a disc shape whirl on their axes. I herewith give articles 26 and 42 of the LATCH KEY: 42. Why Ashes or Water Do Not Burn. Fire is the action of atoms or molecules in separating farther apart. To be sure, ashes have atoms, but for atoms to whirl apart their motion must be so that they can separate. If the heat causes them to whirl on their axis only, the substance may get red hot, but will not burn. And some substances do not burn because the heat and motion applied whirls the molecules or groups of atoms apart and wastes its motion in that way. Water acts this way (steam). Crystallization is the result of the formation of vaco cells or white sparks, and I reprint paragraph 26 to explain this fact: 26. Annealing and Malleability of Metals.
