We put a piece of copper and a piece of zinc into a jar of brine, we touched a wire to them, and there, under our fingers, was a miracle which had never occurred before, a new miracle and a new power.

 discovered it alone, and we alone are to know it. It is said. Now let us be lashed for it, if we must. The Council of Scholars has said that we all know the things which exist and therefore the things which are not known by all do not exist. But we think that the Council of Scholars is blind. The secrets of this earth are not for all men to see, but only for those who will seek them. We know, for we have found a secret unknown to all our brothers. We know not what this power is nor whence it comes. But we know its nature, we have watched it and worked with it. We saw it first two years ago. One night, we were cutting open the body of a dead frog when we saw its leg jerking. It was dead, yet it moved. Some power unknown to men was making it move. We could not understand it. Then, after many tests, we found the answer. The frog had been hanging on a wire of copper; and it had been the metal of our knife which had sent the strange power to the copper through the brine of the frog’s body.  NEW POWER OF NATURE AND WE HAVE DISCOVERED IT ALONE AND WE ARE TO KNOW IT IT IS SAID NOW LET US BE LASHED FOR IT IF WE MUST THE COUNCIL OF SCHOLARS HAS SAID THAT WE ALL KNOW THE THINGS WHICH EXIST AND THEREFORE ALL THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT KNOWN BY ALL DO NOT EXIST BUT WE THINK THAT THE COUNCIL OF SCHOLARS IS BLIND THE SECRETS OF THIS EARTH ARE NOT FOR ALL MEN TO SEE BUT ONLY FOR THOSE WHO WILL SEEK THEM WE KNOW FOR WE HAVE FOUND A SECRET UNKNOWN TO ALL OUR BROTHERS WE KNOW NOT WHAT THIS POWER IS NOR WHENCE IT COMES BUT WE KNOW IT IS NATURE WE HAVE WATCHED IT AND WORKED WITH IT WE SAW IT FIRST TWO YEARS AGO ONE NIGHT WE WERE CUTTING OPEN THE BODY OF A DEAD FROG WHEN WE SAW ITS LEG JERKING IT WAS DEAD YET IT MOVED SOME POWER UNKNOWN TO MEN WAS MAKING IT MOVE WE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND IT THEN AFTER MANY TESTS WE FOUND THE ANSWER THE FROG HAD BEEN HANGING ON A WIRE OF COPPER AND IT HAD BEEN THE METAL OF OUR KNIFE WHICH HAD SENT A STRANGE POWER TO THE COPPER THROUGH THE BRINE OF THE FOG'SDY
