GARRETT P. SERVISS ON LIFE
AS FIXED QUANTITY
Study OF Atoms Shows That Though Forms Are
Constantly Changing Sum Is Always Same.

A RUSSIAN savant, w. Yer
IN nadsky, in an interesting
"A discussion of the new
science, geochemistry, which
studies the history of the atoms
OF our planet. of it's shell, while
mineralogy studies only it's mole
cules and crystals" opens up a
novel view of the relations of life
to the chemistry of the atom. He
shows that former ideas, based
on philosophical, or even theologi-
cal, conceptions had no relation
to the atom as now known to
science. Upon this new body,
with unforeseen properties, which
had never been discerned by
human understanding or intui.
ton" geochemistry is based.
The ninety.two elementary
bodies found by the older science
do not represent all the forms of
atoms. Investigation has proved
that there exist atoms having a
very different structure. but
which present identical chemical
properties and cannot be dis.
tinguished except by their differ.
ent atomic weight. by some ply
steal properties, and by the char
acter of the radiations that they
emit in radiochemical transforma-
items.
These strange atoms, called
isotopes, are known to the num-
Der of sixty or more, so that in
stead Of only 80 there are at least
$50 forms of atoms, and probably
several hundred.
Now, the composition Of nat
ural bodies seems to be a func-
ton of the structure of the
atoms. In the shell of the earth
the atoms are arranged in four
principal modes: thus in the
deeper regions are "the viscous,
or fluid, incandescent magmaS,"
in intermediate regions rocks
formed by molecules; in the
biosphere life sphere) where we
inhabit, the atoms form every
where living matter, while in
the upper atmosphere, the strato-
sphere, free atoms and ions pre-
dominate.
I'm tho course of time the ele.
ments pass necessarily from one
mode to another, and this per-
petual migration of the atoms is
the principal fact Of geochemical

history. +" . 1t is clear that
these modes represent only spe-
claI cases. In cosmical space
nebulae, dust-clouds, or stars-in
the interior of the earth and in
other planets, we see indications
of the existence of other modes
of arrangement (gisements) of
atoms which we do not meet with
in the thin pellicule of our
planet
Geochemistry takes up the
study of living organisms from
a new point Of view. 1t consid-
ers the amount of matter (mass)
and of energy contained in living
matter and compares it with
those contained in the biosphere,
Thus arise such questions as
whether "the quantity of life" on
the terrestrial surface iS con-
slant. and what part Of the
atoms Of the biosphere is to be
found at any given moment an
cluded in living matter. In this
connection Vernadsky says:

trial crust. One finds the same
function of living matter without
change and without interruption
from the most ancient periods
known, from the archean eras.
The quantity of matter which is
contained at a given moment in
the organisms appears to be
constant, the same as has been
constant-since that time-the
quantity of oceanic water, the
composition of the atmosphere
and the hydrosphere, and the
mean temperature of the bio
sphere"
This, he remarks, has an i'm.
portant bearing on the evolution
of living beings. which must be
restricted to narrow limits, for
the quantity of living matter re-
naming the same, the changes
of form and of physiology only
represent different arrangements
of identical materials. Not only
the same minerals have formed
the same associates since the
beginning of life on the earth,
but the same quantities and the
same types of atoms have al
ways entered into the living part
of the mechanism of the globe.

Woodrow Wilson. Already we are
willing to recognize that a man has
passed who will be listed among the
worlds immorials.
We will soon forget and histories
will not recount the Woodrow Wilson.

miracles OF politics and with the basic
selhshness OF human nature. Mr.. VIII
son failed in his one great life's objec-
tive-to make future war simpossible.
But Mr.. Wilson did one thing and
did it well. He impressed upon a war
sick world the futility OF war and for
the first time in history appealed to
the mass of citizen to stop it.
Some day wars will be OF the past.
And when that day comes Woodrow
