The author of this little book spent several years in composing his
work, to the best of his ability, making the treatise brief and to the
point, so that the reader may not become weary and misunderstand the
true meaning.

His desire is to have the flourishing human know the truth of Science
and to learn what he can of its greatest wonders.

ABC's OF SCIENCE

CHAPTER I
THE SUPREME POWER OF NATURE

1.
Supreme power of Nature is comprised of all.

2.
It may be divided into three parts:  Mineral, Vegetable, and Animal.

3.
Mineral is comprised of Mineral Matter and Mineral Magnetism.

4.
Animal is comprised of Animal Matter and Animal Magnetism.

5.
Vegetable is comprised of Vegetable Matter and Vegetable Magnetism.

6.
Each of the foregoing have life, and by cooperating with each other
produce life that flourishes.

7.
There being as many different kinds of Magnetism as there are matter
which is beyond the strength of human to classify.

8.
The supreme power of Nature had no beginning so it has no end; its
life is indestructible.

returned at intervals of 6 1/2 years.  In 1846 it returned split,
returned in 1852, but never appeared since."  "Saturn."]

CHAPTER II
ASTRONOMY

(The word "vapor" used in general for water, ice, atmosphere, etc.)

1.
Space without beginning or end, filled with unmaterial and material
life.  The material is in motion by the currents of unmaterial life.

2.
The material is in perfect bodies, imperfect bodies, and
unconcentrated material.

3.
Perfect bodies group into constellation, called sun's planets,
planetoids, and moons.

4.
Imperfect bodies are comets, called periodic and parabolic comets.

5.
Unconcentrated material called Milky Ways, and rings such as are
around Saturn.

6.
The unmaterial life currents run in every conceivable manner.  I will
call the currents carrying constellation sun currents, planet
currents, planetoid currents, moon currents, and comet currents,
respectively.

Milky ways eddys.

7.
Saturn is the only body we know which has an unconcentrated obsequious
attendant. Such rings may appear around constellations, planets,
moons, etc.

These rings can be accounted for in two ways,--first, the material
never being concentrated; second, by two or more bodies coming
together and throwing the bodies into atoms.

8.
Suck, or Nebula, currents form in the Milky ways (the same as two or
more currents of air coming together and making a whirlwind), which
concentrates the material into bodies, thus forming constellations and
comets; also rings such as are around Saturn.

If a constellation is formed its current is called sun current, and
here it continues to whirl with all its subordinate currents, planet,
planetoid, and moon.

9.
Comets are caused by sun currents' pressure forcing the suck currents
at a great speed, and forces the comet current to pass through sun
currents.  Some comets pass in and out of their sun currents at
regular intervals and are called periodic, i.e., its orbit is an
ellipse.

Comets that are parabolic will never return to their starting point
and travel wild.

10.

Bodies may be destroyed by suck currents carrying bodies in collision
with each other; if the bodies are equal size, will throw the material
into atoms.  If a small and large body come in collision the small
body will bury itself in the greater.  Bodies thrown into atoms, the
atoms may continue to be carried by its respective current (as rings
around Saturn), or the atoms may be forced beyond its current and pass
as shooting stars to other bodies or milky ways.

11.
Nebula is the suck current in the process of condensing material into
bodies.  Can be seen in Milky Way with naked eve.

system."  "The sun."]

CHAPTER III
THE SOLAR SYSTEM

1.
The Solar System is better known to us, as the earth on which we
flourish belongs to it.

2.
The System is comprised of one sun (star), eight major planets,
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and one satellite, Mars and two satellites,
Jupiter and seven satellites, Saturn, its rings and ten satellites,
Uranus and four satellites, Neptune and one satellite, and some 600
planetoids, varying in size from 600 miles in diameter to mere rocks.

3.
The sun's diameter is 866,000 miles.  Rotates every 606 hours.  The
length of time its current carries the sun over its orbit is unknown.
The sun remains a melted mass; its vibration is maintained; has but
little vapor and its theme reflected on the surface of its obsequious
attendants which gives them heat and light.

Dark spots caused by vapor becoming concentrated to the sun's surface;
these spots change.

4.
Mercury, the smallest major planet, also the closest to the sun.  It
is carried over its orbit about 36,000,000 miles from the sun, which
requires 88 days to complete its course, and rotates once every 24
hours and 5 minutes.  Its diameter is 3,000 miles and it has a
suitable amount of vapor for animals and vegetables to flourish.

5.
Venus has the brightest lustre of our planets which is caused from
enormous amount of vapor.  It is carried over its orbit at about
67,000,000 miles from the sun, which requires 224 7/10 days to
complete its course.  Rotates once every 23 hours and 21 minutes.
Diameter, 7,700 miles.

6.
The earth is carried over its orbit; main distance being 93,000,000
miles from the sun, which requires one year to complete its course,
which is 680,000,000 miles:

                                   MILES
     Earth's diameter              8,000
     Greater or equatorial         7,925
     Less or polar                 7,899
         Difference on comparison     26

The earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds; has
one satellite, which is carried over its orbit at a distance of
238,850 miles from the earth.  Its diameter is 2,160 miles.  The moon
completes its orbit in 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 2 seconds.
Its currents touch the earth and cause the tide; also affects some
plants of the phenomena verita; these plants are also affected by the
sun.
