WHAT Is LIFE?

There is clolaeace Of thought as

paragraph from Arnott's Elements Of
Physics:
"The functions by which the ami
NAL body assumes foreign matter from
around, and converts them into its own
substance, is little inviting in some oil
its details; but taken altogether, is one
of the most wonderful subjects which
can engage the human attention. Il:
points directly to the curious and yet
unanswered question: What is lift?--
The student of nature may analy
with all his art those minute portions
Of matter called seeds, aud which he
knows to be the rudimcnts of future
creatures, and the links by whitehead
less generations Of living creatures
hang to existence, but he cannot olsen
tangic and display apart their ys!cri-
Gus LIFE! that something under the
Influence Of which determines lis form
and proportions. One such substance
thus becomes beanteons rose bush +;
another noble OAK, a third an angle,
fourth an elephant; yea in The same
way out from the ridcst materials OF
broken seeds, and leaves Of plants and
pits Of animal flesh is built up he hu-
man frame itself, whether of the ac-
tive male, combining gracefulncss and
strength, or Of the gentle woman, with
