Text: MacVicar's theory that matter, in being transformed into ether produces phosphorescence, was proved by Keely to be correct. Light is evolved in electric action by corpuscular bombardment induced by sympathetic action between the several neutral centers, solid, gaseous, which are all in a state of unstable equilibrium. Phosphorescence was shown to be produced experimentally when matter is transformed into its constituent ether. In one experiment inducing luminosity, ozone was liberated by molecular percussion and a pressure of 110,000 lbs. per square inch was registered on the special testing lever. Considering the vibration of a ray of light as 500,000,000,000,000 per second, it is easy to account for the origin of light and heat by the action of sympathetic celestial streams. These two elements belong to the highest orders of the phenomenal, and can be accounted for by considering sympathetic streams under high velocity as being interchangeable both to and from focalized negative centers. Light and heat do not exist in space. They are evolved from the earth's atmospheric envelope by the percussion of the vibratory sympathetic streams emanating from the neutral center of the sun. Only in this way can we account for the visibility of the planets. The solution of the whole mystery concerning light and heat which are in a certain sense, one and the same, being interchangeable - is that the sympathetic etheric stream bombards the dense portion of the molecular in seeking the sympathetic concordant focalized neutral center of the planetary or molecular mass. Light is an etheric evolution propagated by "sympathetic conflict" between the "celestial" and "terrestrial" outflows: solar tensions against terrestrial condensations and true luminosity is induced in no other way. Progressive molecular and inter-molecular disintegration reproduces light in Nature's manner on a small scale. In this regard Keely says "All such experiments invariably resulted in vortex motion, whether induced sympathetically or otherwise. All corpuscular action in Nature is vortex motion. The undulatory theory of light is only hypothetical. The conditions of electromagnetic radiation, on the same plane of matter as light, disprove the undulatory theory in many particulars. The vortex action induced by differential conflict between the low and high tensions shows conditions analogous to those in the molecular dissociation of water into hydrogen and oxygen - in other words, vortex action of the highest order but peripheral only. Were it otherwise, the ether could not be held suspended or enclosed in the molecular or atomic envelopes."
