the assumption of fourth dimension
necessary as we'll as serviceab1e for
the solution of certain problems But
they did not ask people to believe
that space actually possessed one or
more dimensions other than length,
breadth, and height.
This, however, was precisely the
position taken by Z0llner, and held by
him to afford the only satisfactory ex-

long stand alone Appealing as it did
to the imagination of speculative
scientists, and finding more persuasive
grounds for belief than the debatable
facts of the Slade seances, the idea of
four dimensional space spread so
rapidly that to-day it boasts advo-
Gates, and really learned and able
advocates. in every quarter of the
civilized globe.
It's nature and meaning may best
be made clear by the argument from
analogy employed by the most recent
opponents of the fourth dimension.

would its inhabitants. 1t might well
be compared to a vast sheet of paper
covered-to borrow the description
given in his "Flatland" by Edwin
Abbott, one of the most ingenious ex-
plorers of the fourth dimension-with
a quantity of straight lines, triangles,
squares, and other figures, which, in
stead of remaining fixed, move freely
about, though without the power of
rising above or sinking below the
surface. The people of Flatland, to
put the matter otherwise, would know
absolutely nothing of upward or down
