WITHOUT AN ANSWER.
An Old Proposition Treated From
Scientific Standpoint.


ITO settle an argument kindly an
swer the following question: Ii an IT.
resiStible force were to come In con-
tact with an immovable body. what
would be the result?"
The answer cannot be thought in the
present limitation of the human mind.
We cannot e commence to think of
any infinity whatever.
An irresistible force is an infinite
force and cannot be thought Of in any
property it may have by any phase of
mind functioning in any brain.
An immovable body is infinitely still
or its rest is absolute. and mind In
brain cannot think of the absolute.
For a body to be at absolute rest it
must be the only one in existence. for
If there are two in space attractions
will cause both to move.
But if one body only existed then
finite mind cannot know whether it is
immOvable. because we cannot know
whether force is outside. Only crea.
tive mind can know this With only
n body in infinite space. then finite
mind could not discover whether it is
at rest or in motion. having no other
object with which to compare it. The
two words rest and motion would be-
come meaningless. And humans can
not ut present think of infinite space
nor two points in space. Impossible
niles matter occupies these two
points. Then the word space could
not apply to these points since they
are occupied.-Ne York American.

WASTE OF RIFLES.
Determined Efforts to Stop Is Being
Made by Officials.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The present
model of rifle used by the United
States army should have life of
usefulness of at least 10 years in the
opinion of the ordnance officers and
a determined effort is being made to
prevent the condemnation of thou
sands of rifles that are turned in as
worn out when they are really SER
viceable A circular issued, today,
declares that one of these rifles should
be capable of firing 5000 to 13Ooo
rounds before becoming so worn as 70
become inaccurate.
Many of the rifles turned in as unser-
viceahle are found to have become so
more through want of careful cleaning
and the use of abrasiyes than by reason
of the actual number of rounds fired.
Therefore it has been ordered that such
guns as are worn at the muzzle with
barrels rusted or pittcd. sign that they
have not been properly treated. shall be
tried out by expert rifemen and not con-
demned unless they show marked mac
curacy at the targets.
