1t would give US new standards
in whatever direction our mental
vision was turned IL would be a
flip TO our ambition and a tone
to our energies. What could be
more depressing to an aspiring mind
than the belief that our planet is
the only inhabitable world. and that
we represent the highest develop
ment Of the forces of life? Such a
belief could only result in the most
abject self-worship by conceited per
sons. and the most crushing despair
on the part Of those having a broad
er and nobler nature.
The recent discoveries about the
constitution OF matter, pointing
toward the conclusion that the
physical universe is built up out OF
electricity alone. should make us
very chary OF assuming that the
conditions that limit life on this
little planet limit it equally on all
others. The human brain is a
wonderful instrument. hut il is not
an idle play Of the imagination to
suppose that on another planet.
where the physical surroundings are
quite different from ours there

organ of intelligence. constructed
in a manner that would stupefy
our psychologists and chemists with
amazement So far from being an
idle fancy. such thought is nat
ural corollary of the demonstration.
which every mans experience fur
nishes. that the human bra in is an
imperfect engine for the application
of the power behind It.
