whilst the recently discovered cosmic rays are of the order of 150 million volts, and imply a potential at their origin of about 1,000 million volts. (‘Rutherford, Nature’, vol. 122, pp. 883-6.) The characteristic of the X-ray vibrations is that they can penetrate into the interior of bodies, and are not reflected from surfaces, as is generally the r case with electro-magnetic rays. This is also the characteristic of the type of vision used in these investigations. The shorter the wave-length of the X-rays the more they are able to penetrate matter, and there is reason to believe that the vision used in some of these researches is even more penetrating than cosmic rays, and corresponds to a difference of potential of about 120,000 million volts, or 800 times greater than the cosmic rays. We have given it the name of ‘Magnetic Vision’. “Sir J. J. Thomson and others have shown that the mass of electron may be of electrical origin (‘Conduction of Electricity Through Gases’, vol. I, p. 262), and researches based on observation by magnetic vision lead to the conclusion that the whole of the Earth’s mass, and probably all other masses, are of electrical origin, and that the formula connecting charge and mass for the Earth and planets is identical with that for the electron. This implies that the energy associated with mass is not within the mass, but in the surrounding spaces in which the mass is moving. In 1905 Einstein showed that the energy of a mass was equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, and by calculation it is found that the Einstein mass-energy is identical with the Poynting flux of energy in the classic magnetic field, as deduced from the classic equations of Maxwell. This enormous flux of energy is what is observed by magnetic vision, and its character is identical with what the sub-etheric vibrations disclosed by the wave-mechanics of Schrodinger. Proofs of this will be given in the companion work, ‘Magnetic Astronomy and Astrophysics’. “An important result of the recent researches of physicists is, that a line of force constituting a light ray has a core (‘The Quantum’, Allen, p. 191), the velocity of which is greater than the surrounding waves. (‘The New Quantum Mechanics’, Birtwistle, p. 187; ‘Wave-Mechanics’, de Broglie and Brillouin, p. 116.) The mathematics, however, do not appear to determine the direction of this core velocity. It is here that magnetic vision comes to our aid, for this core of the fight ray is a magnetic core, and observation shows that the velocity of this magnetic core is very much greater than the surrounding waves, and is opposite in direction. Thus, whilst the outward flux of energy dissipates the mass- energy into space, the magnetic core returns this energy to the mass. Whether the
