"The law, of conservation of energy
states that In any system of bodies en
ergy may be differently distributed and
reappear In different kind of work, but
In all Its changes
there Is neither loss

tity. Then what be
comes of energy In
t h I a experiment?

would have done If
released before
heating. Wh.re did the potential energy

apring by winding? Or cat up the colled
spring wtlh nitric arid. What has be
come of its potential energy now? In
using heat it will be noted that the same
amount of heat Is given off from the
, wound as from the unwound spring.

Many a man of much scientific knowl
edge and acumen has puzzled his mind
over you question. Recent discoveries
have so shaVen formerly accepted doc
trines that even tho vallUity of the great
law of the conservation of energy has
tome to be doubted. However, putting
aside theoretical considerations, this law
appears to be so universally obeyed in
all the operations of nature that we can
experiment with (outside the phenomena
of life or vital action) that the presump
tion Is In Us favor, and when we find
something which seems to contradict It.
we ought to.be careful to exhaust every
plausible explanation before concluding
that the supposed law is no law.
Now what does this "law" assert? It
asserts that the total energy contained
In the universe Is a constant quantity,
and that, whatever particular forms It
may assume, its sum remains absolutely
the same. And what is energy? It is
that quality or condition by or through
which matter acta upon other matter o
as to produce changes of state or posi
tion. In Its many manifestations and
transformations, It appears In such forms
as chemical energy, electrical energy,
mechanical energy, all of which, under
suitable conditions, are Interchangeable,
ons for another.
Every kind of energy has two phases
which we recognize first, "kinetic en
ergy," or energy in the act of producing
motion, or doing work, and second, ''po
tential energy," or energy which Is cap
able of doing work, but is not actually
doing anything, being stored up in some
portion of matter and resting idle, like
unexpended money in a lucky man's
pocket.
To get potential energy, kinetia energy
must be expended. Kinetic energy stands
for work, the product of work. But
each produoeg the. other, or makes the
other's existence possible.
I take two cases of potential energy
for Illustration. First, that of a stone
which is lifted a certain distance above
the ground, and suspended there by a
cord. In lifting the stone kinetic energy
was expended against the force of grav
ity, and this has now changed Into po
tential energy, or "energy of position."
Being separated from the earth, which
attracts It, there Is a pull upon the stone
tending to bring It back to the ground.
Tiis pull is balanced by the tension of
the cord. If you cut the cord instantly
the potential energy begins to change
back again Into kinetic energy, and the
atone drifps, developing in the course of
Us fall as much kinetic energy as was
originally expended In lifting It.
But suppose that Instead of cutting the
cord and releasing the stone you, by some
means, suddenly destroy the stone. What
becomes of the store of potential energy?
Clearly, since you cannot destroy the sub
stance of the stone, but can only destroy
it as a stone, transforming It into dust,
or smoke, or gas. the apparently lost
energy has simply been divided up among j
the billions of microscopic particles that i
now represent the stone. The total of the
kinetic energy developed by their de-
scent to the earth, ro matter how long I
It may take, will be equal to the amount ;

of potential energy that the stone con
tained But let us take another Instance where
the disappearance of energy seema more
mysterious. This is your own case of a
toiled spring. The kinetic energy ex
pended in winding up the Match is stored
. as potential energy in the spring. Now
iXf untemper or destroy the spring; what be
comes of the energy in this case? Can
the ghost of a rolled spring exert force?
If It is a scientific ghost It may, and In
thla way. Consider that the opposite sur
face of the flat roiled spring, re in op
posite states of strain, the concave sur
face elongated. It is conceivable that
w hen the spring Is immersed In the a Id
the twofold strain to which Its molecules !
are subjected may olve rise to electric
currents, which pass away Into the ether. ;
and the sum of hose kinetic energy is j
equal to the potential energy that the I
spring held. This, to be sure, is a hvpo- ;
thetical explanation, but it Is based upon j
known physical principles. If you simply
untemper the spring by the application
of heat, all that you now destroy is that
state of the molecules which resulted from
the strain, but here again It is conceir
able that the destroyed "strain" may
have been taken up by the ether In some
form of electric energy. ;
