It is no answer TO say that there
may be an undiscovered law of ma
ture behind the phenomenon, be-
cause what we call laws of nature
are simply observed results of uni
versal experience, and universal ex-
perience shows no relation between
the stcppage of watches and clocks
and the death Of human beings. on
the other hand, 10 say that II
stOppage was a supernatural inter-
ference with the laws of nature is a
pure assumption not based on solid,
provable grounds of experience.
The whole difference between
science and superstition is right
there science bases itself upon end
less experience, testing every link
in the chain. and the fact that it
cannot fundamentally comprehend
everything that nature does makes
no difference as long as experience
shows that nature invariably does
things in that way. But supersti-
ton blindly trusts itself TO the
wings of the imagination, without

there anything the matter with the
clocks? Did they all stop at once?
Did anything happen that might

any attempt made TO determine
their actual condition? Was there
any predisposition on the part Of
