The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort

I
take
some
of
that
back:
I
accept
that
the
approximation
is
higher--
But
that
it's
based
upon
delusion,
because
there
is
no
definiteness,
no
homogeneity,
no
stability,
only
different
stages
somewhere
between
them
and
indefiniteness,
heterogeneity,
and
instability.
There
are
no
chemical
elements.
It
seems
acceptable
that
Ramsay
and
others
have
settled
that.
The
chemical
elements
are
only
another
disappointment
in
the
quest
for
the
positive,
as
the
definite,
the
homogeneous,
and
the
stable.
If
there
were
real
elements,
there
could
be
a
real
science
of
chemistry.
Upon
Nov.
12
and
13,
1902,
occurred
the
greatest
fall
of
matter
in
the
history
of
Australia.
Upon
the
14th
of
November,
it
"rained
mud,"
in
Tasmania.
It
was
of
course
attributed
to
Australian
whirlwinds,
but,
according
to
the
Monthly
Weather
Review,
32-365,
there
was
a
haze
all
the
way
to
the
Philippines,
also
as
far
as
Hong
Kong.
It
may
be
that
this
phenomenon
had
no
especial
relation
with
the
even
more
tremendous
fall
of
matter
that
occurred
in
Europe,
February,
1903.
For
several
days,
the
south
of
England
was
a
dumping
ground--from
somewhere.
