Life; What is It?
nv It. C. KMKIIV.
To tlio reader of tha following brief
thou;hta I will say Unit 1 have
not niioteil (but slightly) what
othors nmy have saiil, but have given
in' own thought, however criulo they
may appear, liolieving as I do that the
intulleolual advancement in knowledge
recoivt'H u greater impetus, either in
writing or lecturing, by the ottering of
oih 'h own thoughts and ideas, than by
repeating to tli-j world that which lias
been iaid before. My thoughts in
Home icspccls nmy be erroneous, nev
ertheless to prove them so, some one
must necessarily use such thoughts as
will outweigh mino in tho balance of
pliil'ihopliical truth. Jleru I will way
that I be'.icvo a person is moro of a
hem factor to the human race who ut
ters thoughts that arc in part errone
ous, rather than one who sends forth
no new thoughts, but only a rehash of
such us has been told before, time and
again.
In treating of the tmbject of "Life,
What is it?" J may bo allowed to mean
der into different paths in my research
es in order to bring corroborating evi
dence. There is an cbsciico that per
meates and is assimilated throughout
all matter from the least monad to tho
roost ponderous globe that is swing
ing on its orbit throughout tho vast
expanse of nature. An essence that
is ever present in every condition, and
is ecr exerting an influonce of change.
Even space (to called) is subjected to
its influence, and is ever producing
and reproducing a din'eroneo in a grea
ter or less degree, and a commingling
in did'erent conditions and combina
tions of tho particles of matter, mani
festing in a (Hfllrent manner in each
and every object anil every organism,
differing to-day from that which was
manifested yesterday, or will bo mani
fested to-morrow. Even tho elements
of thought change, causing expansion
and contraction. To-day the olom. nts
arc differently combined, less of some
and moro of others than yesterday,
thus causing a difference of manifesta
tion. In animated organisms certain
elements do not pertain to their needs
in all alike, different species having
different elements. Home havo certain
elements that others have not, and
again a different commingling of the
KAnlr rhmonls, lienco different identi
ties of (he same genus.
Within tho last half century the
youths were taught in school of but
four elements in nature. What woro
tho:je elements? Fire, air, earth and
water. How is it now? Jty tho com
mingling of the moio refined elements,
mind has expanded and progressed to
an understanding of greater magniludo
and is capable of receiving more light
and wisdom, and tho power of that es
senco is continually producing change
cliango by adding to change by
taking fron; cliango by throwing off
an efete matter some cliango by
bringing into closer affinity other par
ticle!', and to-day wo learn of many
elements, ami that those doniciil are
divisible aihl brought into different
conditions, thus evoking other ele
ments having other assimilations and
affinities.
Having said so much, I will now
ask you to follow mo along somo of
tint iahyrinthian paths Unit a study of
this fiibject may lead juo to pursue,
l'ereh.'.nee we may learn and havo a
betUr understanding of our own rela
tions to this ever changing universe.
Now I will speak of something small,
and endeavor to show to you that tjomo
objects, however small, may havo a
sense of their existence in a degree,
and (hat two or more particle of mat
ter cuiiiiug together have an atlinity
for or a repulsion to each other. 1
will speak of ti small seed a mustaid
seed. It was onco spoken of as a sym
bol of comparison, and 1 will try if 1
can show it to havo a sense, or a
knowledgo of how and when to fulfill
tho law of its being. It bus fallen
from tho parent branch, where it has
been nurtured from ineipieney until
its maturity. A change in its condi
tions and surroundings has come. It
is now ready to act for itself. Tho par
ent lias ceased to yield it sustenance,
the pod that held it to tho parent lias
become soro and dry. Tho winds shako
the branch and it falls to the ground.
Does U despair? Oh no, it suffers
itself to bo trampled on; tho dusts of
the earth envelope it; tho rains wash
about it ; it layeth closer to tho earth.
At length the chilling floats come;
cold winter blasts pass over it, and
finally it is hidden under u mantle of
ice r.nd snow, theio to remain for a
soasi.n, yet it obeys tho behest of a
still Miiall voice, resting in assurance
thu a change will come, and a time
for itn unfolding will arrive. Now all
tliis time tho elements of earth and air
aro at work producing change change
in the soil cliango in the atmosphere
change in tho gasses, and by this
life-giving essonco has been stored
power for tho greater action when tho
proper cliango takes place. At length
thu earth, by its continued change of
petition on its orbit, has brought about
the more direct rays of the sun; the
snow and ice is melting and tho frosts
that have penetrated tho soil ato ceas
ing to hold tho ascendency. Tho
change is being felt in (lie atmosphere
and (ho warmth of spring is at hand.
Already (he pent up games begin to
expand; tho moisture pcrmcatcrf the j
Hoiljtho atmosphere penetrates and
commingles with the gatsca and a !
great cliango has taken place. Now
the li'Uc nuifctard Med awakes ftom ;
its loi.;: sleep and feels, yes feels that 1
it is tune to bo doing. How docs it1
juocei d? First by attracting to ituelf
and an-imilating with such particles of
mat tci with which by virtue of its lifu
giving ct-gonco aro known to it to bo
wwt ty to it development. Boon a i
little rootlet hursts rum its enveloping
hull, and by tho knowledgo of that es
sence, that rootlet penetrates deeper
into tho soil and sends out little fibrils
around feeling for and attracting to and
assimilating with such particles as are
necessary for its own individual exis
tence, ever holding to such as will
support its own identity and genus.
At length conditions have so changed
that it has knowledgo to force itself
out to the light and warmth of the
rays of tho sun. Now go look at it.
What do you see? You see the two
halves of tho seed held together and
to the soil by a small fibrous root that
is forcing life into those two halves of
the seed that have beeomo much en
larged and have but little semblance
to the seed that fell to the ground last
fall. Look again and you will see tho
leaves proper bursting from the top of
' the root and soon you will .'on that
while theso last leaves continue to ex
pand and spread that the first, or seed
leaves, aro becoming soro, for having
fulfilled their illusion thoy aro
changing and being eliminated and
their particles are passing into tho
gases to again supply the needs of
whatever will assimilate with' them.
Now lot us look again and we will ob
serve that tho leaves are rough and
prickly to tho touch, and in looking at
them through a microscope they will
appear as it composed of granules of
irregular shapes and sizes, and as if
thrown together and adhering in all
manner of angularities, yet as a whole
establishing the same symmetrical
outline as is ever seen in tho same
species. Thus the plant continues to
expand and progress, tho gui-es of tho
soil are assimilated, more roots are
added that it may stand firmer in its
place, tho stalk increases in size, more
leaves form and expand, and in the
luuness ot us season (lowers appear,
each with its beautiful petals which
encircle the stamins and pistil, togeth
er with fertilizing polen, each granule
of polen having its individual life-giving
essence. .Soon tho petals of tho
flowers, having fulfilled the mission of
their being, droop and become dry and
soro, fall to the ground and are dis
solved into tho gaetous elements,
again to bo food for other organisms.
Now you can behold a seed-pod is
forming on the stem where the flower
was. in a fow days it is fully formed.
Open it and yon will see many embryo
seeds, each in its own separate cap
sule, surrounded by a soft pulpy mass
and stayed by an umbilicus (o the
center of tho pod through which and
with tho surrounding pulp it is nour
ished till maturity when it, in turn, is
to go tlnough tho same routino of re
production by and with that essence
that is over present and" ever exerting
a life-giving power.
Now perhaps somo may think that I
havo said enough concerning a simple
mustard seed. But do not bo impa
tient. I am not yet quite done. Go
again to tho plant, take off a leaf, a
pod or a tender branch and place it in
your mouth, you will experience a
spicy and pungent sensation which is
peculiar to and with the mustard fanr
ly or genus. Now may I ask from
wlicnce is that peculiar pungonoy de
rived? Is it in tli; soil? No, 'You
may Analyze the soil with your most
refined chemical aparatus and you
cannot find it; you may search the
atmosphere and again you fail to liud
it; you may analyzn water and it is
not found there. You havo searchod
tho threo great, essentials and have
signally failed to find it, yet it d"is
exist. Some may say it is, the peculi
arity of the teiuo of taste that finds it.
Weil, why not find it in lettuce or
cabbage, or in any other of tho thous
ands of succulent plants? 1 will an
swer and tell from whence it came:
The life principle or essence within
thomustaid eetl, or the granules com
prising it, alone hath the power to col
lect the infinitesimal particles of mat
tor and commingle them in an exact
proportion, one to tho other, to pro
duce tho de.-ired result, and to long us
vegetation continues to grow, so long
will that essence, under liko conditions,
never fail to produco and reproduce
after its own likeness and kind.
In pursuing this subject wo bring
to mind a multitudinous varioty of
plants differing, each from tho others,
in accordance with thoir own individ
uality, fulfilling their mission in'thoir
own manner, subject to variations
only by surrounding conditions. In
somo we find annuals, maturing from
the seed the first season. Othors bien
nial, those that grow from tho seed to a
certain stage tho first season and seem
to remain dormant or inactive for a
time, then to grow with ronowed vigor
and accelerating growth, and mature
tho second season and then, having
done their work, they stand for .a timo
as a typo of what is to be again pro
duced from their matured germs. Fi
nally they beeomo dry and sore, their
roots moulder in (ho soil and become
disintegrated, thoy can no longer
maintain their hold in tho soil, they
aro rift asunder and torn branch from
branch and scattered, to be again
changed back to tho gaseous elements.
Again wo find others that aro perenni
al, those that, after somo years, (more
or less) continue (o mature (heir seed
fioin year to year, and casting it at a
given timo in accordance to the sur
loundiug conditions. Still searching
after a knowledgo of things wo find
some plants that produco their germs
of procreation on the branches above
(ho soil, others produce (heir genus in
the soil on and around the root, and
others again produco both on . thu
branches and in tho soil, yet each in
its way pioducing and continuing to
produce after its own Hpoeies and ge
nus, siilijietixhilwavrt to surtounding
conditions.
Now again wo find other peculiari
ties in plants. Soino planU have a
degree of CDiitciolunOfts rovomhling
fear or fcolf-protuoliun. There in a
small plant or thrub (hat grows on the
prairies of Katuas, about twelw or six
teen inches in height, having many
brandies covered with hort bristly i
hairs. The leaves are grown in pairs j
, on a leaf stem, on opposite old cs. Yon .
may Maim and look at it, the h i ve
rt rn all apread out to the brc . . Tli
wjndmay blow quite hard and nlill j 1 "'.J ' hM;r'r -apport oflii.
. ., ! . ! Hi-mi, and t li.-tt - i,d proof v. ill lie made be-
you perceive nothing peculiar, n yon i rre ,hp ritc- .,, ;er,.VPr nt La Gra.ido,
will reach fortli your hand and take
hold very gently of one of the branch
es in a few seconds you will ol i
tho leaves ou that branch clo 'o.-cti,-er,
each to its mate, and tic move
ments will continue as if nip t'.l y
' from branch to branch t:,! nearly o.
j quite all tho leave arc el" !y pre - d
i fngotlier. 1 nil;. itirfseenili.it an
I sence is in the organism c.f ihis plant
that is closely allied to a bense of fear the allowftntv of such proof, or who knows
or self-protection. 1 f n"y nubatanll.il rea-onnnder the law nnil
Ami nffain (linrf, io ft tilnnt lhat tIle '!utaon of the Interior Department.
And again tliere is a plant that wb wadi proof ihc.uM not 1 allowed, will
grows in many parts of the country, fan opportunity at the nbovo mou
growing in cluiters of stalk from the Honed timp and place to rrwa-oxnniine tho
same root, that wb- n grown to nearly witnewiM of said plNimant.. (and to offer
its matured size autl height, at or near
the top an insect debits its egga.
Now the iiireet has a knowledge that
its young will bo eared for during their
lamp existence. The plant soon as
sumes the care and protection nf the
ogg. Soon a globe-liko form is built
about the stem and egg, which nour
ishes the larvae till it arrives at maturi
ty when it cuts its way out and goes
forth to provide for it t elf. Rome may
say that the forming of the. excrescence
is but the result of tho healing of the
wound made by the insect. Now the
peculiarity is this, that nearly all the
stems of tho plant have a like deposit
and the excrebences formed arc always
nearly of the same size with a due re
gard to the same spherical shape. Vo
also find some of the larger plants that
havo a knowledgo of how to protect
and care for minute animal life, in a
degreee, and are tho protectors of
myriads of tho insect family, uake
for example the elm, the hickory and
many others. You will find deposited
on the under sides of the leaves very
minute germs of insect life. Now the
leaf need not care for them more than
for the dust of the oarth; but yet
around and over those germs is formed
what seems to a casual observer a
mere gnarl. Watch it from time to
timo and you will see that it continues
to increase in si.o and in proportions.
In a few days you will eee that it
bursts liko a bivalve and from its hol
low there croups hundreds and per
haps thousands of little gnats that
havo been nourished through their
larvie state till they have become full
fledged and capable of soaring away to
seek other needs and sustenance.
