186 UNIVERSAL EVOLUTION 



It is suggested that biologists know the morphologi- 

 cal forms of development, but fail to see the chemical 

 phenomena connected therewith. In other words, they 

 fail to see and act upon more than matter. The real 

 movement of life development is beyond the reach of 

 intellect, and unless this is disclosed, there will always 

 be something left to conjecture. But matter always 

 intervenes to bar the penetration of the human senses, 

 beneath the integration, and dissipation of itself. 

 Some other light beyond the X-ray may yet be dis- 

 covered whose penetrating power will disclose, not 

 only the chemical, as well as the geometrical phe- 

 nomena of life, but also streams of becoming, and the 

 reason why nothing is ever finished, the reason why 

 everything always remains in the making. 



Man gradually acquired the power to record with 

 his free hands a written language to represent the 

 sounds of his voice, and the images made upon his 

 brain by objective things, by which any advance in the 

 methods of the struggle for existence can be per- 

 manently communicated to his fellow men, not only to 

 his own generation, but to those of the future. The 

 result has been, that in addition to the former com- 

 munication of new ideas and facts by direct contact 

 and personal observation, distant peoples are rapidly 

 informed by books, and periodicals of all new methods, 

 and discoveries. The art of printing has thus given 

 an immense impetus to man's efforts over those of the 

 animal in the struggle for existence But notwith- 

 standing all this, it is well to observe, that the men who 

 use all these advantages, that man's enlarged brain 

 power has given him, over the -wild animals, who still 

 use the primitive means of existence, for the mere 

 support of the body, are still on a level only with the
