spike are reproduced in the rings of the cadmium funnel; the globes are
also the globes of cadmium; so neither of these needs attention. We have
only to consider the three ten-atomed ovoids, which are substituted for the
one ten-atomed triangle of zinc, and the central cross. The ovoids become
spheres (Cd _a_, _b_), the contained bodies revolving within them, _a_
whirling on a diameter of the sphere, cutting it in halves, as it were, and
_b_ whirling round it at right angles; the cross also becomes a sphere (Cd
_c_), but the cruciform type is maintained within it by the relative
positions of the contained spheres in their revolution. The subsequent
stages are shown in the diagram.

SULPHUR (Plate XI, 1).

Sulphur has nothing new, but shows only the funnels already figured in
magnesium, with the substitution of a second septet for the triplet, as in
zinc.

SELENIUM (Plate X, 2).

[Illustration]

The funnel of selenium is a re-arrangement of the twelve-atomed ovoids of
magnesium and the ten-atomed ovoids of cadmium. The funnels, on
disintegrating, set free twelve groups, each containing nine spheres. On
the meta level the ten-atomed bodies are set free, and the twelve-atomed
divide into duads and decads, thus yielding seventy-two decads and
thirty-six duads; the duads, however, at once recombine into hexads, thus
giving only twelve meta elements, or eighty-four in all from the funnels.
The central globe holds together on the proto level, but yields five meta
elements. The star also at first remains a unit on the proto level, and
then shoots off into seven bodies, the centre keeping together, and the six
points becoming spheres, within which the two cones, base to base, whirl in
the centre, and the globes circle round them. On the meta level all the
thirty bodies contained in the star separate from each other, and go on
their independent ways.

Selenium offers a beautiful example of the combination of simple elements
into a most exquisite whole.

TELLURIUM (Plate X, 3).

Tellurium very closely resembles cadmium, and they are, therefore placed on
the same diagram. The pillars are the same as in chlorine and its
congeners, with a duad added at the base. The ten-atomed ovoid is the same
as in cadmium and follows the same course in breaking up. It would be
interesting to know why this duad remains as a duad in selenium and breaks
up into a septad and triad in the other members of the group. It may be due
to the gre
