SCIENCE.


regular session for the Transaction of
business pertaining to that society.
Mr.. j. A. TreganZa is a member and
is in attendance. Science is that art
by which thing that is rot so is
proven to be true. it is the final test
by which things that cannot be &C
counted for by any line of usual
reasoning. can be so adjudlcated on
scientific principles that they are
finally disposed of as being dropped
because the lines on which the de-
auctions have been made can't be
understood by anyone but scientist
and he has decided that it is so because
it is so. This was one of the main
things that decided the fate of Harry
Thaw. Had not science discovered
that brainstrom. exaggerated
ego" and "paranoia. he might
have had his neck stretched until it
was two feet between his chin and
his clavicle instead of being "exhibit
A" in Pittsburg bug house.
Ever since we moved our emporium
of erudition down next to Prof.
Treganza's undertaking establish
ment. we have had to buck scince. no
matter what experience or observation
has taught US, we early learned that
this must get down on its marrow
bones and become subservient to
science. For instance the horsehair
snakes that we used to make in Wis
consin. when we we lived beyond
Hazel Green. by putting horsehair
in stagnant water. thus forming
beautiful sorrel. bay or strawberry
roam snakes, have all been discredited
by the information that those snakes
are made by grasshopper which
has u monopoly in snake building in
the realms of science.
The fact that glass can be cut I'M
der water with pair of shears has
also been dispelled by the scientific
fact that it is impossible. although
it can be done. And science is right,
it can't. Science has done more in
the medical world than anywhere else.
a paranoiac is one scientifically de-
veloped in which murder is one of the
natural acts of benovelence, simply
because the fellow is constructed
along scientific lines. Insanity has
been diagnosed by science until the
words that describe it are fairly I'm.
pronunceable. Edison has dug in
the realms of science until he. ha;
made the ordinary wooden Indial
reason and think. and argue as vel
as the ordinary Cummins man. and he
has not half tried either. We hardly
know what we would do without the
the discoveries of science in recen
years. 1t has discovered that radiun
