Introduction
'atter in motion an% ether un%er strain #onstitute the "un%amental prin#iples with whi#h we have to %o in physi#s.

The Earth is one o" the ma+or bo%ies o" our solar system. !s it pushes its way aroun% the $un with the spee% o" a #annon ball it puts the ether un%er strain an% in %oing so #auses the atmosphere whi#h #onsists o" atoms o" hy%rogen an% nitrogen to be#ome in#an%es#ent< we thus have the phenomena o" light. 7ight is then a vibratory a#tivity.

!ll that the ear per#eives in the beauti"ul an% won%er"ul musi# o" a symphony or#hestra is simply motion o" one %imension or motion in a straight line.

Heat Vibrations
The in"luen#e o" heat is so bene"i#ent an% sometimes so terrible that it is not surprising that "rom time immemorial it shoul% have re#eive% not only the attention but sometimes the a%oration o" mankin%. &t is through the agen#y o" heat that all animal an% vegetable li"e #omes into being. ;ithout heat there #oul% be no li"e as we know it upon the planet. Heat is the sensation pro%u#e% by the motion o" atoms o" matter. &" we pass the various e""e#ts o" heat in review we shall "in% that matter an% motion are the ne#essary #orrelations o" heat. Heat #oming in #onta#t with #ertain substan#es brings about the phenomena that we #all #ombustion. This is #ause% by the union o" o*ygen an% #arbon whi#h union pro%u#es at on#e both heat an% light. The result is the %isintegration o" the substan#e. There are other #auses o" #ombustion that pro#ee% more rapi%ly. Take "or instan#e a pie#e o" gun-#otton. Gun-#otton is a #ombination o" hy%rogen o*ygen an% nitrogen. ;hen heat is applie% the "our kin%s o" atoms will be#ome imme%iately %isasso#iate% leaving no tra#e o" the gun-#otton. ;here %i% it go The #arbon an% a part o" the o*ygen "orme% #arboni# gas the rest o" the o*ygen #ombine% with the hy%rogen an% "orme% vapor. The nitrogen remaine% "ree.
&t will then be seen that heat %oes not #hange the nature o" the atoms it simply #hanges their respe#tive positions with regar% to ea#h other. The appli#ation o" heat not only brings about a #hemi#al #hange in the nature o" the substan#es but in so %oing it liberates energy an% what is most interesting to observe the energy that is liberate% is always solar energy. &n the #ombustion o" #oal it is the remains o" immense "orests that e*iste% upon the earth long be"ore the a%vent o" man. These "orests %epen%e% "or their e*isten#e upon
