Matter and Force.

There is ne such thing as q loss of
matter or force. The so called con
servatiOn' of matter and its forces was
demonstrated years ago by Joule and
other scientists. When. for instance,
a thing burns up" as we say. the sub
stances that give out the light and
heat are changed, not destroyed. The
wood or whatever the substance hap
pens to he becomes ashes and gas, and
II we could gather up all the products
OF the burning we should find that they
had not lost Il particle OF their weight
and that the form of them only was
changed. The eternity Of matter was
a teaching Of the old Greek philiso-
piers, or Of some OF them ut least, and
the modern teaching Of the conserva-
ton or indestructibility Of the stuff of
the universe would seem to corroborate
the ancient idea.
