Text: "Heat may be classified as a vibro-atomic element, not exceeding 14,000 vibrations per second at its greatest intensity, latent in all conditions of matter both visible and invisible. The velocity of the sympathetic flows which emanate from our solar world, the sun, coming into contact with our atmospheric medium, liberates this element in all the different degrees of intensity that give warmth to our earth. Light is another resultant; the different intensities of which are produced according to the different angles of this sympathetic projectment. The light that emanates from a glowworm is the resultant of the action of the sympathetic medium of the insect on a center of phosphorescent matter, which is included in its structure. The resultant of the two conditions are quite different, but they are governed by the same laws of sympathetic percussion. Radiation is the term used to express the reaching out of the thermal element, after its liberation from its corpuscular imprisonment, to be absorbed or returned again to its sympathetic environment, teaching us a lesson in the equation of disturbance of sympathetic equilibrium.
