The Lighter Side OF Science.

Even mathematics may yield amuse-
ment to those who will search for 1t, as Ia
shown by the mathematical recreations =
that an English professor compiled. In
"The Seven Follies Of Science" ID. Van
Nostrand Company, Mr.. John Phin de-
scribes not only the classical will o. the
wisps that have cracked mems brains but
a number of other entertaining decisions
and illusions.
The souaring Of the circle, the duplioa-
ton Of the cube, the trisection OF the angle,
perpetual motion, the transmutation Of
metals, the fxation Of mercury and the
elixir Of life are the problems which he
includes in the SEVEN %follies," but to these
he adds the ever burning lamp, the aka
hest or universal solvent, palingenesis or
restoration from the ashes and the powder
OF sympathy. He does not limit himself
to an explanation of what these problems
are which men have tried to solve from the
dawn of science and are stil muddling
over, and which modern science declares
be insoluble, but he gives enough Of the
history Of each to make the story enter
tanning.
In addition, we find some modern prob
lens explained, like the fourth dimension.
There are also ingenious illusions OF the
senses and paradoxes and curious arith.
metical problems. Doubtless everything
in the volume can be found in earlier books
and explained more fully, but it is put to-
gether here very conveniently and In a
popular, easily Ineligible form. The quo
tation from Sir Oliver Lodge regarding
radium is worth reading; that new element
has not yet upset the theory of the conserva-
tion Of energy.
