Liebig the greatest chemist OF the CEN
fury writes: Science has demonstrated
the fact that man the being which per-
forms the great wonders. Is formed OF
condensed air and solidihed and liquid
gases. that he lives upon condensed as
well as upon uncOndensed air. and that
by means of the same mysterious agent
he moves or causes 10 be moved the
heaviest weights with fine velocity Of
the mind But the s,rangest part OF the
matter is that thousands and millions Of
these tabernacles of condensed air are
going on two legs destroying other forms
OF condensed air which they may need
o. build up their own wasted tissues or
for shelter or clothing. or. on account of
their egotism and fancied. power. de-
stroying each other i'm pitched battles
using implements which are but other
forms OF condensed air, the material OF
which they themselves are formed or
composed. Chemistry supplies the clear
est proof that. so far as concerns this,
the ultimate and most minute compost
ton and structure. some Of which are
so ininitesimal as TO be beyond the COM
prchenslon Of our senses. man is, 20 all
appearances, at least. composed Of ma
torials identified with those which com
pose the structural being OF the OK or the
dog. or even the lowest animals In the
scale of creation
Solomon seems 20 have entertained the
same idea. See Ecclesiastes iii: -: For
that which befalleth the sons Of men be-
falleth beasts; as the one dieth so dieth
the other: yes, thay have all one breath,
so that man hath no prominence above
a beast"
