1T am deeply interested in
your scientific articles and es-
pecially so in the one on 'Spon-
taneous Generation Up to Date.
Right or wrong, my philosophy
is: There can be no dead matter;
every atom is endowed with the
potential elements of life that
cannot be destroyed and under
proper conditions life will germ1-
nate. According to scientific con-
ception of the beginning of things
here everything was thoroughly
sterilized as far as heat is con-
cerned. From whence did life
come? We cannot conceive of
something being created out of
nothing "A. D. c. Hastings,
Mich"
OUCH speculations are fasci-
- mating. and, indeed, they aim
at the very foundation of things.
But those who entertain them en-
counter one trouble bestriding
the whole width of the, way, like
"Apollyon," and that is the COM
mon tendency to demand details
and a finished picture. You find
no mystery in the existence of
life because you say it must have
been there, as naturally as any
thing else, from the beginning.
But your neighbor may call for
a bill of particulars. He may
want to know what the proper
conditions" you speak of are, and
how life proceeds to terminate
out of the midst Of them. Often
attempts are made to satisfy this
insatiate demand, and that, too,
by leaders in science who ought
to recognize that their arsenals
of facts are too insufficiently fur
nished to carry through such an
attempt.
Questions Germ Theory.
Take the "panspermia" idea,
which pictures the universe as
containing, in it's interstellar
spaces, besides inert cosmlc mat
ter. living germs, or kind or
vital sperm, disseminated every
where and which sows the planets
with the seeds of life as they
follow in the wake of their voy-
aging suns. That pleases the
imagination without satisfying
the mind, because it is theory
not supported by ascertained
facts. Nobody has ever seen or
captured any of the SUPPOSE
tious interstellar germs. And,
moreover, no one has ever shown
any reason why such germs
should take refuge in the cold
regions of empty space, lying in
wait there for passing planets to
which they may attach them

selves parasitically. Why should
not the germs of life remain al
ways with the planets? Is It any
easier to think of vital elements
in association with emptiness
than in association with full
ness?
Sometimes these specuIations
go into considerable details, as
for instance in this case, offered
by Doctor j. Anglas.
Zone may conceive that before
life appeared on the earth salts

bonic gas and water, had al

One may ask: "How can we
be sure that new life is not now
slowly, very slowly, forming on
the earth, right in our presence,
without our recognizing the fact?"
In connection with that there Is
curious suggestion by the
writer already quoted.

1t would not be that of any

would certainly constitute a new

They stood there motionless in the warm,

moonlight as a tide. There was such peace

There was such peace and beauty also in

along the soft, deep rugs, touched the dull
