DECEPTIVE TRUTH.

on wager the other day, a Lon
doner stationed himself on a corner
of the Strand and tried to sell per-
fectly genuine 5-pound bank notes
for a penny apiece. In the course OF
an afternoon he was able to sell but
two. The two purchasers of the bar
gains were doubtless laughed at as
simpletons by the clever chaps who
were expecting deception-and they
were the ones who were deceived.
The truth is frequently too good to
seem true. At this moment there are
thousands of shrewd scientific minds
who suspect a fake in the announce
ment from Paris of the discovery of
the long desired light without heat
The higher the intelligence, however,
the less it contains Of skepticism
without reason. The highest intelli-
gence frequently consists in the SIM
plicity and matter of-factness which
accepts truth at its face value. no
matter under what conditions it is
presented. The versophistication
which partakes of suspicion Is fre-
quently as great an obstacle to the
worlds advance as superstition and
dense ignorance.
