T. GALEN HIERONYMUS - Radionic Pioneer
                    November 21, 1895 to February 21, 1988


     We mark the passing of Dr. T. Galen Hieronymus who was a true pioneer in
the field of radionics.  Dr. Hieronymus was a discoverer of unique attributes
of the life force which he termed "eloptic energy".  His work has stimulated
continuing research in radionics.  His patent No. 2,482,773 has become a
standard concept which many radionic instruments have been built from, some
using just the pattern drawn on paper.  People with original thoughts are few
and far between.  Galen's presence on this earth has influenced many to look
beyond the norm and Borderland Sciences Research Foundation honors a man who
blazed a trail for others to follow.  Rather than eulogizing, we present an
important experiment from his patent for future researchers to work with.



                          Growing Plants in the Dark
                            by T. Galen Hieronymus

     Radiations from each of the known elements of matter produce some form of
energy, probably electrons which can be made to flow along electrical
conductors.  The flow from each of the elements having characteristics
different from the others.  Conversely, the flow of electrons along a
conductor produces a radiation having characteristics of the radiation from
each respective element.
     Such of the known elements as are required to feed growing plants have
been transmitted to the plants through metallic conductors as the plants were
entirely isolated from the elements upon which they were fed.  More precisely,
seeds were planted in boxes in a darkened basement room.
     One of the boxes of plants containing some of the seeds was used as a
control and no apparatus for transmitting element radiations thereto provided.
The remaining boxes of plants had electrodes or plates of conducting material
mounted or otherwise disposed adjacent thereto, and each box of plants was
separately attached to a conductor extending to a point outside the building
where electrodes or plates were attached to the conductors and allowed to
remain exposed to the light.
     Such of the known elements as required to impart normal characteristics
to the plants were apparently fed thereto by having the radiations of the
elements from the light conducted to the plants through the wires and
associated electrodes.
     The treated plants were relatively healthy but the control plant assumed
the characteristics of growing vegetation which has been deprived of the
elements in natural light.  Particularly was the control plant devoid of
chlorophyll while the remaining plants were green.



     Dr. Hieronymus' work will be carried on by his wife Sarah and their co-
workers at Advanced Sciences Research and Development Corporation, PO Box 109,
