M, CLAM GETS SOME
LIGHTS ON SCIENCE

tionary Of Congo dialects. One other
turned ON more electricity. Three more
scientists grasped hat negro as he
came down and held him on a stool.
yet no one had excitement but those
negroes and myself.
But they will kill those negroes"
| said TO NJ. Stag.
His reply: Perhaps not, This. NJ.
Clam, is n Investigation into those
germs Of race hatred. Why do we hate
that black race? That is the question.
II we can solve this problem, then we
shall maze experiments TO discover the
anti-toxin. Already we nave assured
NJ. Rockefeller that we are making
! grand progress, and more money WI
be coming toward US"
One terrible s%quealing aStonished me.
| We rushed to the spot. Three scientists
we're at work on several pigs tied 10
tables on which were more machinery,
with tubes, dials, and wires. When
n pig was touched with the wire
his sQueals were measured FOR volume,
intensity, and quality. This laboratory
experiment, NJ. Clam, has wonderful
| possibilities said N. Stag. What ter
rible energy is spent by these pigs in
| Squealing, yet it is lost TO this world.
How to conserve this energy? That
is the question. If we can contrive ma
chinery for this, think Of that saving
of power Those stock yards could
supply power for all packing opera
tions; also for those municipal tram
ways. NJ. lie Mayor Dunno has great
interest in this problem. Also those
ArmOurs havye given us Tree pigs tor
experiments, with one million of dol
lars for apparatus. Soon We hope to
solve this problem. Then Chicago may
boast OF utilizing all parts Of thos"
hogs for the benefit Of society; yet
the squeal may be most valuable Of AL.
[ said: Can you not ave the squea1
| ano let the rest Of that pig go?"
The reply: THAT Chicago law, N.
Clam, provides that no pig shall eyct
leave the city alive. This will pre-.
vent those other cities from being
more hoggish than Chicago"
NJ. Stag led me to one room whaIe
many people did hang head downward,
suspended by ropes. Scientists IN al
tendance watched these persons close
~, taking temperatures, administering
electric shocks, and making notes Of
words spoken by those victims. I
thought this was violence, with muir
der, With excitement I said: You, NJ.
Stag, do o make murder?'
His reply: BE assured, NJ. Clam,
this is not violence. Here we have
experiments in sublimation Of thought,
Do you not know OF great ecstasy OF
brain when upside down? no? Bah:
YdG are behind those times. One
Chicago scientist, after eating heavily,
was unable to write. His head sank
down. Instantly he found those
thoughts clearer. He bent to the
floor in agitation. Yes, it was not one
mistake! His brain did flash grand
thoughts. Eagerly he stood upon his
head. Hurraht The brain Of him did
strike poetic fire, with sparkling
thoughts most like fireworks of the
genius, He did try to write, yet he
could not reach paper while upside
down. Quickly returning to his feet,
he ran for the pen and paper. Bah:
Those miracles of thought vanished.
He stood like the numbskull, the Jack
ass, with no thoughts. Ever he did not
remember to stand again Oh the head.
Thus, almost this grand discovery Was
not discovered. One day this scientist
was knocked from the street a to his
head, with feet upward. Instantly those
thoughts of genius flashed again. He
did cry Il those bystanders everything,
and this discovery was discovered at
the last! Too quickly he did turn to
feet at first. Now. by turning slowly,
those brains do not spill out all, as
they did to him.
Look, my dear Clam, at these re-
versed philosophers, poets inventors,
and various geniuses said M. Stag.
This specimen, you will see, is purple
in his neck, with those eyeballs pop
ping. You say this is the blood to the
head, with danger Of apoplexy? Bah!
This is the signal Of genius overload
ing one ordinary brain. Already we
have gathered books Of terrible Wis
dom from these inverted brains-epics,
philosophers, prophecies, new religions,
and the strange Inventions. It is the
grand scheme for these people cannot
remember their sublime thoughts when
we put them again on their feet. All
benefit goes to us.
But" I said, is not everything up
side down which is here said? Is not
each word topsy-turvy, Of no logic?'
The reply: "Ah, no! Wait, my dear
Clam for those inspired writings. Then
Won shall see what this university Shall
do to this world. Do you doubt? You,
NJ. Clam, shall be hung up by those
heels!"
But no! not I cried, with intense
violence. Pardon, my dear Stag! |
cannot doubt our words. All is true,
