When we think of life, as the materialists do, as of mechanico-chemical origin, or explicable in terms of the natural universal order, we think of the play of material forces amid which we live, we think of their subtle action and interaction all about us of osmosis, capillarity, radio-activity, electricity, thermism, and the like; we think of the four states of matter, solid, fluid, gaseous, and ethereal, of how little our senses take in of their total activities, and we do not feel the need of invoking a transcendental principle to account for it.
Edwin Babbitt, a pioneer in this line in the Western world, gave the general principles in a nutshell, when he laid down the following rule: "There is a trianal series of graduations in the peculiar potencies of colors, the center and climax of electrical action, which cools the nerves, being in violet; the climax of electrical action, which is soothing to the vascular system, being in blue; the climax of luminosity being in yellow; and the climax of thermism or heat being in red.
