and our other senses, assisted by
the interpreting power Of our judg-
ment, tell us that they are.
Metaphysically we may be unable
to understand time, and for mental
amusement we may play that there
Is no time, or that time and space
are simply different forms of the

our hearts we know what time Is,
and we know that yesterday is not
today and today is not tomorrow
and that wrinkles and gray hairs
are no Pigments Of the fancy. And
1t will take an infinitely greater
genius than that Of Einstein, or OF
any OF his followers, to convince
level-headed men that the world Of
Alice in Wonderland and Behind
the Looking Glass" Is essentially no
less real than the world of every
day, waking life.
Yet. Just this suggestion has, with
apparent seriousness, been put
forth by exploiters Of the alleged
revolutionary character Of the con
sequences of Binstein's speculs-
lions, and Lewis Carroll. the author
Of those entertaining fictions, has
been held up as an example Of genius
fntuitively though unconsciously
forestalling< the advance of science.
But in the light of Mons. Painleve's
criticism, this feature of Einsteinisn
Is seen to be az purely fanciful ~
Lewis Carroll himself believed mis-
inventions to be.
The most that can be expected of
the solid parts Of Einstein's work,
according to the French mathemati-
clan. Is that eventually they may
blend with the Newtonian and Gall
