Concerning Dissolution.

I'm this case general death can be de-

very different from elemental death. II
q merely the starting point of the dis
integrative phenomena which lead to
elemental death.
Immediately after general death
elemental death begins. 1t is a com
plex and slow process which progress
siyely destroys the living matter. We
can not know directly whether or not a
tissue is living and by what chemical
or physical peculiarties living being
differs from its corpse.
There is no re-agent Of life

Living matter, in a condition Of
non-nlanifested life, is apparently SIM
liar to non-living matter We per-
ceive life only through it's manifesto
tons.
What is the difference between a
dead seed and a seed which will pro-
duce large tree? We do not know.
We know merely that, imm ediately
