Phil .: The conservation or preservation of the exact amount of energy which a force po e es, even though, losing its original character, it appear in other forms. Power may be transformed into velocity, so that what is lost in the former is gained in the latter, or vice vers a. Or it may be trans formed, on the same principal, into heat. No force, therefore, is destroyed, it is only transformed into some equivalent, capable of doing exactly the same amount of work which it unchanged could have done. Conservation of energy is sometimes called also Conservation of force. Crabbthus discriminates between energy , force, and vigor : "With energy is connected the idea of activity: with force that of capability: with vigor that of health. Energy lies only in the mind: force and vigor are the property of either body or mind. Knowledge and freedom combine to produce energy of character: force is a gift of nature, that may be increased by exercise: vigor , both bodily and mental, is an ordinary accomplishment of youth, but is not always denied to old age." (Crabb: Eng. Synon.)
