was not sought for.

[18] This, with references which appear later (pp. 32, 33, 50, etc.),
relates to articles which appeared in the _Theosophist_, 1908.

[19] Since writing the above I have noticed, in the _London, Edinburgh and
Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science_, conducted by Dr.
John Joly and Mr. William Francis, in an article entitled "Evolution and
Devolution of the Elements," the statement that it is probable that in "the
nebulous state of matter there are four substances, the first two being
unknown upon earth, the third being hydrogen and the fourth ... helium. It
also seems probable that ... hydrogen, the two unknown elements, and helium
are the four original elements from which all the other elements form. To
distinguish them from the others we will term them protons." This is
suggestive as regards hydrogen, but does not help us with regard to oxygen
and nitrogen.

[20] Theosophists call them Nature-Spirits, and often use the mediaeval term
Elementals. Beings concerned with the elements truly are they, even with
chemical elements.
