Even scientists are not free from per

vealing something to cause them study
and doubt Perhaps one Of the mos.
marked examples of this is found in
the phenomenon presented by a well at

a Russian merchant began TO sink this
noted well. and. after working on IL
for three years. gave il up rs q bad job.

these facts Ia the Russian Academy OF
