The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort

Our
Intermediatist
concept
is
that,
because
of
the
continuity
of
all
"things,"
which
are
not
separate,
positive,
or
real
things,
all
pseudo-things
partake
of
the
underlying,
or
are
only
different
expressions,
degrees,
or
aspects
of
the
underlying:
so
then
that
a
sample
from
somewhere
in
anything
must
correspond
with
a
sample
from
somewhere
in
anything
else.
That,
by
due
care
in
selection,
and
disregard
for
everything
else,
or
the
scientific
and
theological
method,
the
substance
that
fell,
February,
1903,
could
be
identified
with
anything,
or
with
some
part
or
aspect
of
anything
that
could
be
conceived
of--
With
sand
from
the
Sahara,
sand
from
a
barrel
of
sugar,
or
dust
of
your
great-great-grandfather.
Different
samples
are
described
and
listed
in
the
Journal
of
the
Royal
Meteorological
Society,
30-57--or
we'll
see
whether
my
notion
that
a
chemist
could
have
identified
some
one
of
these
samples
as
from
anywhere
conceivable,
is
extreme
or
not:
"Similar
to
brick
dust,"
in
one
place;
"buff
or
light
brown,"
in
another
place;
"chocolate-colored
and
silky
to
the
touch
and
slightly
iridescent";
"gray";
"red-rust
color";
"reddish
raindrops
and
gray
sand";
"dirty
gray";
"quite
red";
"yellow-brown,
with
a
tinge
of
pink";
"deep
yellow-clay
color."
In
Nature,
it
is
described
as
of
a
peculiar
yellowish
cast
in
one
place,
reddish
somewhere
else,
and
salmon-colored
in
another
place.
Or
there
could
be
real
science
if
there
were
really
anything
to
be
scientific
about.
Or
the
science
of
chemistry
is
like
a
science
of
sociology,
prejudiced
in
advance,
because
only
to
see
is
to
see
with
a
prejudice,
setting
out
to
"prove"
that
all
inhabitants
of
New
York
came
from
Africa.
