DR. JEANS can see after himself, I feel sure; and if he accepts the statement of the writer of the note on his address in NATURE of December 4, p. 812, that in his view life is ``possibly merely a disease infesting the rubbish heap in the corner'' of the universe, no other interpretation can live. But as a student of life I was on the point of writing to thank Dr. Jeans not only for his masterly address, but also, most of all, for his stately and hopeful close wherein no such opinion as the above was fathered by him. Readers of NATURE can turn to the original in the Supplement to the issue of December 4 and judge for themselves. Dr. Jeans put two interpretations, in two different ways, and his final brace were: Is life of the nature of a disease which affects matter in its old age, or is it the only reality, which creates, instead of being created by? The writer of the paragraph takes the first only and fixes it as Dr. Jeans's own view. Why?
