"It is also this power of penetration and speed of the 9th octave which not only unlocks the pressures of the lower inert gases, octave by octave, but also unlocks the pressures of the 8th, 7th, 6th and 5th octaves of radioactive elements. Most deadly among these are radium, thorium, actinium, strontium, barium, calcium, potassium, arsenic and phosphorus." [Atomic Suicide, page 262]

[3] Phos-elements: It is not quite clear what is intended here, but it may relate in some way to bioluminescence. However, the following three definitions are provided as an aid to interpretation.
PHOSPHOR: A substance which is capable of luminescence, i.e. storing energy (particularly from ionising radiation) and later releasing it in the form of light. If the energy is released after only a short delay (between 10-10 and 10-4 seconds) the substance is called a 'scintillator'.
PHOSPHORUS: P. Element. Atomic weight 30.9738. Atomic number 15. Occurs in several allotropic forms, white phosphorus and red phosphorus being the commonest. The former is a waxy white, very inflammable and poisonous solid. Red phosphorus is a non-poisonous, dark red powder, not very inflammable. The element only occurs in the combined state, mainly as calcium phosphate, CA3(PO4)2, Essential to life; calcium phosphate is the main constituent of animal bones.
PHOSPHATE: Salt of phosphoric acid H3PO4. Phosphates are used as fertilisers to rectify a deficiency of phosphorus in the soil.

In 1669, a Hamburg alchemist, Hennig Brandt, evaporated a tub of urine by boiling it and was quite surprised to see the residue glow mysteriously in the dark and then catch fire.
That residue was phosphorus.
Brandt was looking for the key to immortality, which he thought was hidden in that precious bodily secretion that had the same color as gold.
Disappointed, he left the discovery aside, which instead attracted the attention of the British physicist Robert Boyle.
In 1680, Boyle immersed a piece of wood in sulfur and then rubbed it on a piece of paper on which he had applied a little phosphorus.
The heat generated by the friction ignited the phosphorus, which in turn transmitted the flame to the wood.
The match was officially born.
However, phosphorus was scarce in those days and its ignition was very difficult to control, so matches remained a curiosity, an expensive novelty, of which there were only a limited number.
One day in 1826, the English chemist John Walker, owner of a chemist's shop in Stockton-on-Tees, was at the back of the shop, where he was trying to make a new explosive.
While stirring a mixture of antimony, potassium chlorate, gum and starch with a wooden stick, he noticed that a teardrop-shaped drop had dried on the tip of the stick.
To quickly scrape it off, he rubbed it against the stone floor of the laboratory.
The stick caught fire: in an instant and completely by chance, the rubbing match was born.
Walker never patented his invention.
It was another Englishman, Samuel Jones, who realized the commercial potential of the invention and mass-produced the first matches, which he called "Lucifers".
But the great diffusion began in 1830, when phosphorus matches appeared in France, which however were harmful to health.
The Parisian chemist Charles Sauria eliminated the disgusting smell of the match (derived from the combustion of sulfur), extended the duration of the flame, but inadvertently spread a sort of epidemic of a deadly disease, known as "phosphoric necrosis of the jaw".
Hundreds of workers who worked in match factories contracted this terrible disease in which the jaw bone disintegrated.
Only in 1911 were safer matches produced, based on phosphorus sesquisulfide. [anon]
