30 PROTOPLASM. 



Inanimate albuminous matter has been regarded as 

 protoplasm. Living things have been spoken of as masses 

 of protoplasm ; the same things dead have been said to be 

 protoplasm. If the matter be boiled or roasted, it is still 

 protoplasm ; and there seems no reason why it should not 

 be dissolved, and yet retain its name protoplasm.
