62 PHYSICAL EXPRESSION. 



Expression of the relations between two or more 

 subjects may be effected by the movements of some 

 kind of intermediate agent, some kind of movement 

 between the subjects that is an expression of the 

 condition of either. If we look at a bank of flowers 

 on a fine summer day, we observe the bees flying 

 from flower to flower. Usually a bee visits only one 

 species of flower in the same journey, and his move- 

 ments indicate something about himself and about 

 the flowers a relation between bees and flowers 

 that has been well put forward in the writings of 

 Springel, Kerner, and Darwin. Looking at an ants' 

 nest a wonderful order may be observed in the 

 movements of the little creatures, each appearing 

 to perform its own part in an organized system 

 which appears to be arranged for the benefit of the 

 whole community and not of the individual. It is 

 the movements of the ants and the work accom- 

 plished by them which indicates the organization of 

 the whole, and the so-called instinctive properties 

 of each. In life in a city we see men pass from 

 house to house, from home to office, etc., these 

 movements, as observed, proving social organization 

 dependent upon the make of each man and the 

 relation of men to one another. When we learn 

 of the movements of an army in the field, and hear 

 how the different portions separated from each other, 

 work in unison for the accomplishment of one end, 

 we find that the relation of the movements of the 

 parts form an expression of the government of the 

 whole. Now, this mode of expression by move- 

 ments is one of the highest which we have to con-
