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

An Old Proposition Treated From q
Scientific Standpoint.
ITO settle an argument kindly an
swer the following question: If an ir-
resistible force were to come In con
tact with an immovable body. what
would be the resultY
The answer cannot be thought in the
present Limitation of the human mind
We cannot even commence to think OF
any infnity 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 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 1t is
immovable, because we cannot know
whether force is outside. Only crea-
tive mind can know this With only
one 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 at present think OF infinite space
nor two points In space. impossible
unless matter occupies these two
points Then the word space could
not apply TO these points since they
are occupied New York American

RovaI Trains.

Few people know that the passage Of
a royal train is guarded almost every
yard of the way be the journey Of the
sovereign short or long. Many people
laugh when they read of lines upon
lines Of soldiers being drawn up along
the railway metals In Russia when the
car travels, but the same thing prac-
tically occurs in England, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, only without the ostenta-
tious display of uniforms. The line
over which the royal train is to pass Is
quite as effectively guarded, though to
all appearance there is nobody there

A Police sinscurs.

An inquisitive member of the house
of commons was struck one day by the
presence of a policeman in one of the
lobbles. He wondered why this partic-
ular lobby should always have a guard
ian stroling up and down and made
inquiries. The records of the house
were searched. and it was found that
fifty years previously, when the lobby
was being decorated, policeman had
been stationed there to keep members
from soiing their clothes The order
never having been countermanded. the
constable had kept his beat for half
century.

HIS SELF CONTROL.
He Proved 1t to His Own but Not His
FamiIy's Satisfaction.


Mr. Brown was excitable by nature.
but he often prided himself audibly
upon his self control One night while
the family were gathered at the tea
table the chimney began to roar. The
furnace draft had been opened and for
gotten. Straightway panic ensued
Don't lose your heads-keep coolr'
cried Mr.. Brown. ITS nothing seri
ous'
He dashed up the stairs. discovered
that the metal cap over the only I'M
used stovepipe hole was already red
hot. and dashed down again faster
than he went up.
!. Keep coolT' he gasped as he passed
through the room where the family
had gathered in nervous apprehension
''I'll be back in minute
He was back in less than that time
having observed that the flames were
spouting several feet high from the
chimney and that shower of sparks
was falling upon the roof.
"Wh-where's the stepladderf" he
painted.
He was gene before any one could
answer the question and presently was
heard believing from the roof of the
wood shed He presented a heroic
figure in the glare of the blazing chin
ney.
"Ive got one end Of the hose" he
called ''Some one attach the other
end and turn on the water-quickP'
Two long minutes passed.
"Why doesn't some one do as 1 or
deredY' he Numbered. "Do you want
the place TO burn up?"
I'VE can't, Henry" called Mrs. Brown
tremblingly. "You haven't got the
hose. You've got the COW rope. 1t
was hanging next to the hose in the
shed, and anyway the roof is covered
with ice, and | don't think there's any
great danger outside. You'd better go
and watch the chimney from the in
side"
A half hour later the family were
again at the tea table.
eff this had happened in some
homes" remarked Mr. Brown. ''the
family would have lost their heads
completely and sent in an alarm Self
control is an excellent thing and far
from common"
Indeed. it isl agreed Mrs. Brown
emphatically.-Yo Companion.
