由地壳内元素分布的详细研究,发现它们的发生并不是偶然的,而是遵循着一定的规律的。利用这些规律,我们就可以在“科学的基础”上来研究地球上的矿藏,并且在很大的程度上,使我们费很小的力量即可以发现并研究有用矿物的新矿源。很早以前认为有许多元素在动物和植物的生命上具有首要的重大意义,如:碳、氧、氢、氮、硫、磷、氯、硅、钾、钙、镁和铁,而其他的元素则几乎不具有任何意义。但是按生物体中稀有的元素分布的新材料证明:这些元素在动物和植物的生命中 A detailed study of the distribution of elements in the crust shows that their occurrence is not accidental but follows a certain pattern. Using these laws, we can study the earth’s deposits on a “scientific base,” and to a large extent enable us to discover and study new sources of useful minerals at a fraction of the cost. It has long been thought that there are many elements of primary importance in the life of animals and plants such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, silicon, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron, while other elements It hardly makes any sense. But new materials that are distributed according to the rare elements in the organism prove that these elements are in the life of animals and plants
