small ones are seen, two positive and two negative, the positive containing
five and the negative four minuter spots. On raising the gaseous atom to
E 4, the falling away of the wall sets free the six contained bodies, and
both the balloon and the egg round themselves, apparently with the removal
of their propinquity, as though they had exercised over each other some
attractive influence. The smaller bodies within the egg--marked _q_ on
E 4--are not on one plane, and those within _n_ and _o_ form respectively
square-based and triangular-based pyramids. On raising all these bodies to
E 3 we find the walls fall away as usual, and the contents of each "cell"
are set free: _p_ of E 4 contains six small bodies marked _k_, and these
are shown in _k_ of E 3, as containing each seven little bodies--marked
_e_--each of which has within it two ultimate atoms; the long form of _p_
E 4--marked _l_--appears as the long form _l_ on E 3, and this has three
pairs of smaller bodies within it, _f'_, _g_ and _h_, containing
respectively three, four and six ultimate atoms; _q_ of E 4, with its seven
contained particles, _m_, has three particles _m_ on E 3, each showing
three ultimate atoms within them; _e_ from _n_ of E 4 becomes _i_ of E 3,
with contained bodies, _e_, showing two ultimate atoms in each; while _e'_
from _o_ of E 4 becomes _j_ of E 3, each having three smaller bodies within
it, _e'_, with two ultimate atoms in each. On E 2, the arrangement of these
ultimate atoms is shown, and the pairs, _f'_, _g_ and _h_ are seen with the
lines of force indicated; the triads in _f_--from _m_ of E 3--are similarly
shown, and the duads in _e_ and _e'_--from _i_ and _j_ of E 3--are given in
the same way. When all these bodies are raised to E 1, the ultimate
physical atoms are set free, identical, of course, with that previously
described. Reckoning up the number of ultimate physical atoms in a chemical
atom of nitrogen we find they amount to 261, thus divided:--

62 + bodies with 2 ultimate atoms, 62 x 2 = 124
24 - " " 2 " " 24 x 2 = 48
