WHAT JS IjIKK ?
Tom Kdlson Consider * Stan n Micro-
IJOHIII of Intellectual Atom * .
Replying to the loading question ,
"What is Life ? " the great electrician
Edison defines it us follows :
"My mind is not of a speculative
order , "said Mr. Edison ; "it is essentially
practical , and when I am making an ex
periment I think only of getting somo-
tliing useful , of iiuik'ing electricity per
form work.
"I don't soar. I keep down pretty
close to the earth. Of course , there are
problems in life I can't help thinking
about , but I don't try to study thoin out.
It is necessary that they should bo stud
ied , and men lilted for that work tire
doing it. I am not lltted for it. I leave
the theoretical study of electricity
to th ) physicists , confining my
worlc to the practical application of
the force. It is my belief , however ,
that every atom of matter is intelligent ,
deriving energy from the primordial
germ. The intelligence of man is , I
t.iko it , the sum of the intolligoncics of
the atoms of which ho is composed ,
livery atom has an intelligent power of
selection and is always striving to tret
into harmonious relation with other
atoms. The huinnii body , I think , is
maintained in its integrity by the intel
ligent persistence of its atoms , or rather
by an agreement between the atoms so
to persist. When the harmonious ad
justment is destroyed the man dies , and
the atoms seek other relations.
"I cannot regard the odor of decay
but as the result of the olToi-ts of the
atoms to dissociate themselves ; they
want to get away and make now combi
nations. Man , therefore , m ty bo regarded
in some sort us a , microcosm of atoms
agreeing to constitute his lift ! as long as
order and discipline can bo maintained.
But , of course , there is disaffection , re
bellion and anarchy , leading eventually
to death , and , through death to now
forms of life. For life I regard as inde
structible.
' "All matter lives , and everything that
lives possosbcs intelligence. Consider
growing corn , for example. An atom
of oxygen comes flying through the air.
It seeks combination with other atoms
and goes to tbo corn ' , not by chance , but
by intention. It is'soiv.ed by other atoms
that need oxygon'and is packed away in
the corn whore it can do its work. JNrow
carbon , hydrogen and oxygen enter into
tlio composition of every organic sub
stance in ono form of arrangement or
another. The formula CIIO , in fact , is
almost universal.
"Very well , then , why does a free
atom of carbon select any particular ono
out of lifty thousand or more possible
jositious unless it wants to ? I cannot
see how wo can deny intelligence to this
ict of volition on the part of tlio atom.
To say that ono atom bus an allinity for
mother is simply to use a big word.
The atom is conscious if nv.in is con
scious , is intelligent if mnn is intelli
gent , exercises will power if man does ,
H , in its own little way , all that man is.
VVo are told by treologists that in the
mrliost periods no form of life could ox-
st on the earth.
"How do thpy know that ? A crysta ,
s devoid of this vital p.'inciplo they say
md yet certain kinds of atoms i'n variably
UTan o themselves in a particular way
to form a crystal. They did that in
.foolugieul periods antedating the ap
pearance of any form of life'and have
ueon doing it over since in precisely the
same way. Some crystals form in
branches like a fern. Why is there not
ifo in the growth of a crystal ? Was the
vital principle specially created at some
particular period of the earth's history ,
or dta it exist and control every atom of
matter when the earth was mollonV I
cannot ttvihd the coii''ltision ' that all
mutter is composed of intelligent atoms
ind that life and mind are moro syn-
onyinus for the aggregation of atomic in-
.elligenco.
"Of course there is a source of energy.
Nature is a perpetual motion machine ,
tnu perpetual motion implies a sustain-
ng and impelling force.
"When 1 was in Berlin I mot Du Bois
3avinond , and wagcing the end of my
Ingoiyl said to him , EWlr.it is that ? '
What moves that linger ; ' lie said lie
lidn't know ; that investigators have for
twonty-livo years boon trying to find
out. If anybody could toll him what
vaggcd this linger ihb problem of life
vould bo solved.
"Thoro are many forms of energy re
sulting from the combustion of coal
indor a boiler. Some of these forms
ve known something about in a pract-
cal way , but thqro may bo many others
vo don t know anything about.
"Perhaps electricity will itself bo
superseded in time , who knows ? Now a
loof.-itculc in the , , , human stoumoh is
equivalent to coivUundor a bailor. By
oxidization it oxoitos energy that doo's
vork , but what form of energy is it ? It islet
lot steam pressure. It acts through the
nerve cells , performs work that can bo
measured in foot pounds , and can bo
transformed Into electricity , but the
actual nature- this force which pro
duces this work which makes elTeotual
tlio mandate of the will la unknown.
"It is not magnetism , itdoosn't attract
Iron , It is not electricity at least not
such a form of electricity 113 wo are
familiar with. Still , here it is neces
sary to be guarded , because so many
different forms of electricity are known
to science that it would bo rush to say
positively that wo shall not classify vltiil
energy as a form of electrical energy.
Wo cannot nrguo anything from dllTor-
oneo in speed. Nerve force may travel
us fust as electricity , once It gets started.
The apparent slowness may bo in tlio
brain. It may take an appreciable time
for the brain to set the force going.
"i made an experiment , with a frog's
leg that indicates something of the
kind. I look a leg Unit was susceptible
to galvanic current. The vibration pro-
ilticod a note as high as a piccolo.Miilo
Iho log was tilivo It tcspondod to the
electrical current ; when it was dead it
would not respond. After the frog's leg
hud been lying in the laboratory three
days I couldn't make it squeal. Tlio ex
pcriment was conclusive as to this point"
Tlio vital force in the nerves of tlio In
was capable of acting with speed enough
to Induce Iho vibration of the diapluigm
necessary to pro.luco sound.
"Certainly this rule of speed is much
greater than physiologists appear to al
low , and It scums reasonable that there
is a close allinity between vital energy
and electricity. I do not say they are
identical ; on the contrary I nay they are
very like. If one could learn to make
vital energy directly without fuel , that
Is without beefsteak in tbo stomach , and
in such a manner that the human sys
tem could appropriate it , tlio elixir of
life would no longer bo a dream of al
chemy. But wo have not yet learned to
make electricity directly , without the
aid of fuel and steam.
"I believe this is passible ; indeed , I
have boon experimenting in this direc
tion for some time past. B'tt until wo
can learn to maUo electricity , like na
ture , out of disturbed air , J am afraid
the moro delicate task of manufacturing
vital energy so that it can bo bottled
and sold at the family grocery store will
have to bo deferred.
"Electricity , by the way. is properly
merely a form of"energy and not a lluid.
As for tlio other which speculative
science supposes to exist , I don't know
anything about it. Nobody has dis
covered anything of the kind. In order
to malco their theories hold together
they have , it seems to mo , created the
other. But the ether imagined by them
is unthinkable to me. 1 don't say 1
disagree with them , because I don't
pretend to have any theories of that kind
and am not competent to dispute with
speculative scientists. All I can say is ,
my mind is unable lo accept the theory.
The other , they say , is as rigid as steel
ana as soil UH butter. I can t catch on
to that idea.
"I believe that there are only two
things in the universe mailer and en
ergy. Matter I can understand to bo in
telligent , for man himself I regard as
so much matter. Energy I know can
take various forms and manifest itself
in dilTeront ways. I can understand
also that it works not only upon , but
through matter. What this mailer is ,
what this energy is , I do not know.
"However , it is possible that it is sim
ply matter and energy , and that any de
sire to know too much about the whole
question should be diagnosed as a dis
ease ; such a disoa.se as Gorman doctors
are said to have discovered among tbo
students of their universities the dis
ease of asking questions. "

New York Titnos ; Tlio czar is a man
of rather limited mental endowments
and acquirements , who does not easily
sco more than ono thing at a time and
who gets to see that slowly. In other

ordinary citizen. It is tlio very irony of
fate that lie has boon made responsible

IIo has an abiding sense of the sacredness -
ness of this responsibility , and ho toils
assiduously over the task as it is given
to him to comprehend it. Save for brief
