Show Important Chemical Discovery. M. Becquereli Sen., had laid on the table of the Academy of Sciences of Paris a work in manuscript, equal in amount to two ordinary volumes, on the important subject of the intervention interven-tion of physico-chemical forces in geological, geo-logical, meteorological, and physiological physio-logical phenomena. The author demonstrates, de-monstrates, among other things, "the celestial origin of atmospheric electricity, electri-city, and the influence of electric action ac-tion in the transformation of the blood in the body from venous to arterial." He explains, also by electric currents, an action which chemestry has been unable to account for, that is to say the transport of materials within the organism, that is to say life, for life resides re-sides in movement. |
