General physiology; an outline of the science of life . Fig. 263. — Poteriodendron. Asingle individual of a cell-body, fastened upon amyoid-fibre, sits in a bell-shaped cup and contracts itsflagellum. THE MECHANISM OF LIFE 541 flat flame, however, the molecules of illuminating gas are in sucha numerical relation to those of the oxygen of the air that activecombustion takes place. The change of the substance of theflame through the incoming gas and the surrounding air is, how-ever, so regulated, that at the same place the same kinds ofmolecules constantly come together in the same number. As aresult, the same form of flame with its differentiations is main-tained continually. But if the stream of matter be altered byletting less gas pass out, the form of the flame also changes,because now the mutual position of the molecules of illuminating.
