Suddenly the true nature Of the
motion will burst into your con
seriousness, just as by an effort you
can get rid of the deception which
causes a train standing alongside
TO appear 10 be moving backward
when your own train smoothly and
silently starts to move forward. It
is even possible TO feel the rota-
ton Of the earth when simply look
ing up into a cloudless sky with no
particular points of reference ex-
cept the horizon.
I had this feeling with peculiar
distinctness one day last August
while lying on my back on the bald
head of Mount Chocorua in New
Hampshire. I felt myself swept on
as If reposing on the point of a
| gigantic clock hand. It must not be
/ supposed that this is mere self-de-
| ception. for. on the contrary. it is
/ the correction of lf-deception, il
is seeing the face OF truth behind
/ the mask of delusion. Such things
help to make confinement on our
| globular prison more bearable.

ment OF a man who at the time /
when the earth was supposed to be /
fat. should have gone on and on. in
an apparently straight course, be
lievine himself TO be getting ever
farther from his starting point, until
suddenly he came to the back Of the
house from whose front door he had
set out!
wherever MacGregor sits is the
head Of the table," wherever any
man happens TO be is the top Of the
world. Neglecting the irregularities
Of the surface. everything on earth
is below the plane Of his feet. But
he is below everybody else's plane
and so every one Of us earth prison
ers is at the same time above and
beneath every other one.
Not only has nature confined us
| on the curved surface of this little
/ sphere, which is a mere nothing In
nlimitable space. but she has sur
rounded us with phenomena which
are continually deceiving and mis-
/
/ constantly on our guard against her
/ receptions. For one thing. notwith-
standing all that has been said
/ above. which is based on universal
| human experience, we find it hard
20 convince many OF our fellows thar
this earth really is a ball, resting on
nothing, because the plain evidence
OF our senses seems to be that the
surface Of the world is fat. only
varied by irregular elevations and
depressions.
BY setting the globe in rotation
around an axis running through its
center. nature has afforded another
source of bewilderment for the little
creatures imprisoned on it's surface.
AS they look up they think they see
the sun travelling round their prison
once every day, and the stars
streaming around il at night.
II took many centuries. probably
many thousand years. TO bring to
the minds Of early men a compre-
hension of the fact that. as far as
their apparent daily and nightly mo-
tions are concerned. the sun and
the stars do not really move at all,
the deceptive appearance Of their
movement being a result of the con-
slant turning Of the earth on its
axis. like a rolling ball.
II is at least a credit to the prison
ers that they have found out, in
spite of all receptions, that their
ball does roll, and have turned its
rolling to account by making ii
serve to keep time for them. in
stead Of letting it muddle theil
brains.
Yet there are very few persons
today who have a realizing sense
OF the rotation of the earth SucI
a sense can be acquired, however
and 1t is a most extraordinary ex
| perience. hardly to be put int
| words. Some would call It al
ecstasy OF the imagination. but II
truth it is simply a setting Of tn
mind TO drive through the apparen
into the real which is behind it.
| You can catch the sense, if yo
will try, at sunset or sunrise. Will
| you watch the rim of the horizon
sweeping up or down across tn
disk of the solar orb. With praC
tice it will come to you in watch
ing the nightly procession of I'll
consultations, apparently movin
steadily from east to west, as III
earth rotates from west to cas-
You have only TO concentrate yol
mind upon the thought that II
really you and not the stars TIL
are moving.
