Life Without Nourishment.

There seems to be no philosophical
necessity for food. We can conceive
of organized beings living without
nourishment and deriving all the
energy they need for the performance
OF their life functions from the
ambient medium. In q crystal we
have the clear evidence of the exist
ence of a formative life principle, and
although we cannot understand the
life OF a crystal, it is none the less a
living being. There may be, besides
crystals, other such individualized,
material systems OF beings, perhaps oil
gaseous constitution, or composed oil
substance still more tenuous. In
view of this possibility-nay, proba.
bly-we cannot apodictically deny the
existence of organized beings on a
planet merely because the conditions
are unsuitable for the existence oi
life as we conceive it. We canuo,
even, with positive assurance, assert
that some OF them might not he pres
ent here, in this our world, in the
very midst of us for their constitution
and life manifestation may be such
that we are unable to perceive them.
