Miller told a little story Of his Oberlin
college days.
II happened In the chemistry class,
and the professor had just asked Mil
Ter to define gravity. The somewhat
hurried definition contained the word

tor. He declared there was no such
energy In nature as pun. Whereupon
Miller undertook to illustrate his def
milton by lifting a chair to the level OF
his chin and then thrusting 1t straight

said.
Here was the professors chance.
