Again, calling yourattention to the shape of the mole-cules when at check, we observe thatit is only a little too much angularitythat prevents them from being in theshape of a heart, and that their ac-tion is that of a great number ofhearts acting in unison, Fig. at the same time we realizethat each one of them is a separateindividuality pulsating throughoutits entire body, and sending both matter and forcetoward the molecular extremities and Curvilineal viewof molecules in file. 182 THE THREE CIRCUITS. Accepting these analogies for what they seem tobe worth, we have three primary expressions of force—attraction, repulsion, and equilibrium. Three pri-mary kinds of matter—atmospheric, aqueous, andsolid. Three primary forms of motion—rectilineal,circular, and elliptical. Three primary kinds of life—molecular, vegetable, and animal. Two currents of force can no more occupy the same body of matter at the same time, than can two bodies of matter occupy the same place at the same time, and yet in about one-half of . the snow crystals we see the force- ,...--• I *-••..,;.. lines crossing each other in the centre j **--X-* °f *ne crystals at angles of sixty de- •j,-- \;-;- grees> Fig. 31. This apparent con- \U tradiction of our conclusions arises from the fact that in the crystals we simply see the impress of the forces spread upon a plane, which is not at all
