56 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OP EVOLUTION 



lungs reveal their use. It is the same in the battleship 

 or other structure produced by man. Every part of ship 

 or machine is made for a certain purpose. Oxygen of the 

 air is necessary to produce heat and power in the battle- 

 ship, so chimneys are provided to draw the air into the 

 furnace. The gills are machines to separate the oxygen 

 from water, and lungs to separate it from air. When we 

 see the parts we know for what purpose they have been 

 made. When we see a part of a battleship or railroad, 

 we know what it is for unless we are very ignorant like 

 the savage. In like manner when we see a part of a plant 

 or animal we know what it is made for and that it is 

 made by the cell. 



The intention and purpose reveals the same intellect 

 in both cases. Just as man in possession of the same 

 building material of metals, bricks, wood, etc. can con- 

 struct buildings and machines very different from each 

 other, so also can the cells with the material they possess 

 in the elements, produce organs of plants and animals 

 very different in external form and appearance. The 

 savage or an ignorant man looking at a battleship or 

 complicated machine, would have no comprehension how 

 the ship or machine had come to exist or had been put 

 together. So today, too, many people who have not 

 studied life and the cause and composition of living 

 structures, cannot form any conception of what a plant 

 or animal really is. 



The brain of the bee contains only a few cells and is 

 invisible except when viewed by the microscope. Still 

 these cells in the brain of the bee, who direct all his 

 actions, will manage a very effective battle against in- 

 telligent man, as will appear from the following, from 

 my daily paper :
