pole to the south magnetic pole south of that line and to the north magnetic pole when proceeding north from it.
Motion is an appearance born of the axis of a conceptive cone in inertia. It assumes the appearance of an expanding cone and disappears through radiation in equatorial opposition.
The universal machine is a gyroscopic top.
When it is in little motion, its form is a cone, like a top gyrating unsteadily on an eccentric axis.
When it is in great motion, it loses the altitude and eccentricity of its axis and becomes a gyroscope revolving steadily in one plane.
The generative attractive principle is the principle of contracting cones.
All mass is generated and regenerated by a contractive pressure exerted in the direction of its gravitative center. Its minimum of generative pressure is exerted from its equatorial plane and its maximum pressure from its pole.
The radiative repellent principle is the principle of expanding cones. [See Dispersion]
All mass is radiated and diffused by an expansive pressure exerted in the direction of its surface. Its minimum of radiative pressure is exerted from its pole and its maximum from its equatorial plane. [See Envelope, Rotating Envelope]
By arranging the elements in the orderly positions of their relative stability and instability, as in the accompanying chart, the chemist can work out his problems much more simply upon paper than by experimenting in the laboratory without the knowledge of this orderliness.
