More From Michael Faraday

From the results so far obtained it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the long-range atoms arising from collision of alpha particles with nitrogen are not nitrogen atoms but probably atoms of hydrogen, or atoms of mass 2. if this be the case, we must conclude that the nitrogen atom is disintegrated under the intense forces developed in a close collision with a swift alpha particle, and that the hydrogen atom which is liberated formed a constituent part of the nitrogen nucleus.

All the green in the planted world consists of these whole, rounded chloroplasts wending their ways in water. if you analyze a molecule of chlorophyll itself, what you get is one hundred thirty-six atoms of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen arranged in an exact and complex relationship around a central ring. at the ring's center is a single atom of magnesium. now: if you remove the atom of magnesium and in its exact place put an atom of iron, you get a molecule of hemoglobin. the iron atom combines with all the other atoms to make red blood, the streaming red dots in the goldfish's tail.

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, i can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: there is no matter as such. all matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. we must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. this mind is the matrix of all matter.

The ideas of primary qualities of bodies, are resemblances of them, and their patterns do really exist in the bodies themselves; but the ideas, produced in us by these secondary qualities, have no resemblance of them at all. there is nothing like our ideas, existing in the bodies themselves. they are in bodies, we denominate from them, only a power to produce those sensations in us: and what is sweet, blue or warm in idea, is but the certain bulk, figure, and motion of the insensible parts in the bodies themselves, which we call so.

But jealous souls will not be answered so, they are not ever jealous for the cause, but jealous for they're jealous. 'tis a monster begot upon itself, born on itself.

Am i jealous? he thought, astonished. jealous of the chance object to which she has attached herself? jealous of something that does not concern me? one can be jealous of a love that has turned away, but not of that to which it has turned.

I have performed my duty to my god, my country, and my family. i have nothing to fear in approaching death. to me it is the mere shadow of god's protecting wing . . . here i will rest in quiet and peace beyond the reach of calumny's poisoned shaft, the influence of envy and jealous enemies, where treason and traitors or state backsliders and hypocrites in church can have no peace.
