Of all preconceived notions, the human
eye can see it without the aid of tele-
scope or other instrument. Between

With the wealth of legendary tale

tales would not have been constructed
around that fathomless mystery had

The journey over the roof is also very

long does it take that by the time a

cord, is a ball. The ball may be shifted
