To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The explorers find no corner where life has not outrun them. Nansen found minute living creatures in ice pools in the Farthest North; the Natural His- tory of the Antarctic already fills several large vol- umes. On the earth and under the earth; in all the waters high and low; on the mountain tops and in the great abysses of the deep sea; free in the air and fettered in the penetralia of other creatures, life abounds. What a long gamut of activity there is, from the dull sentience of many of th...e simplest, which seem sometimes to have no more than one distinct action or reaction, and the sleep-life of the higher plants, to the complex instinctive routine of ants and bees, and the intelli- gent behavior familiar to us in the big-brained educable birds and mammals. How difficult it is to find what is essentially characteristic of them all as distinguished from the inanimate creation. But that is what we must now try to do.^ Characteristics of Livingness. — The great oak is instinct with life in every leaf and twig and root- let, it is a whirlpool of whirlpools of intensely active corpuscles, yet it outlives many generations of men, and stands, like the tree of Igdrasil, as an emblem of eternal life.
