Crystallization is the result of the formation of vaco cells or white sparks, and I reprint paragraph 26 to explain this fact:
26.
Annealing and Malleability of Metals.
Crystallization has been considered in paragraph 21, but when matter is cooled very slowly through long periods of time, vacuo spaces are not formed.
Ordinary cast iron is crystallized, but when it is heated in a furnace and gradually cooled through several days or weeks, it becomes "malleable iron."
The iron which is used as an electro-magnet for a telegraphic machine will not work unless the iron is annealed very soft by being heated and allowed to cool in the ashes as the fire gradually dies out.
Crystallization is the most wonderful dovetailing process conceivable. When a liquid is cooled the molecules become radio active and radiate lines of force. These lines are nearly straight, unlike heat lines, and therefore they are cold lines. They drive matter in planes and straight lines or surfaces instead of into globules or liquids which move. The discs of ice cannot move or roll about like the globules of water, and ice is hard like quartz or a form of flint or silica.
All objects are formed by the action of TWO forces, either a curling force or a straight force. Plants form leaves in the air, and where there is more obstruction and curving influence they form roots. ALL CELLS ARE ALIKE in their first state, but are changed in the process of growth or from influences.
A slip from a geranium when stuck into the earth will form roots. It seems to me that each cell in an egg contains a counterpart of the whole body of a chicken—that is, it contains electrons or occult matter which, once having passed through all parts of a fowl's body, in the blood photographs these parts.
We can account for the various parts of the egg yolk turning its cells into different forms by the location which the particular cell occupies—as cells in various parts,—at the center,—or at the surface,—would be subject to curling forces or straight forces. At the center forces would be obstructed and curled, and at the surface just the opposite, and a hundred variations, according to the location and surroundings.
