Who Freaks the Dishes?

Jason" said Mrs. Calliper to her
husband IS they sat at dinner, II went
this afternoon to the china closet to
get n certain glass dish that wanted
When l picked it up 1 lifted only half
of it. The other half remained on the
shelf Somebody had broken it and
then placed it there in that way so
that they wouldn't have to tell me
about it. Now. of course. neither you
nor l broke that dish, the children
didn't break it. the servants didn't
break it. Now. how did it get broken?"
Expansion and contraction
Jason
"Well. Cynthia said Mr. Calliper
soothingly. you ought not to worry
about that dish. Science has in re-
cent years made great advances, and
many things which were once mys.
terious are now as clear to us as the
pages of an open book. But the ques-
ton, Who breaks the dishes? has
never been answered. and it is not
likely that it ever will be, and why.
my dear, should you waste your time
in trying TO discover the undlscovera-
ble?"
