LUCY LOWELL
ON LIVING In
THE HOUR
BY LUCY POWELL.

"HE future never comes. Yes
terday is gone out of our
reach-tomorrow we will
never hold. The day--indeed the
minutes all we have to guild
life upon. And "a wonderful MN
ute it is!
This is the thought I wrote into
one Of these articles a few weeks
ago.
Since then I have been aston
ished and greatly interested that
a philosophy has been founded
upon the idea and worked out to
touch upon most of the affairs,
conditions, disappointments and
hopes of life.
ut is called 'Presentism.'
Mrs. Edward Danscome Moore,
head of the movement, has sup
piled me with al outline of the
teachings of ''Presentism." 1t
seems so sane and logical and
withal so helpful, perhaps, that
l am going to quote from his
writing forerunner of a COM
plete volume on the philosophy.
Eternity is an everlasting
now. No matter how long you
exist, you always will be IN the
HERE and NOW. =
1.-THE so-called future, being
only the present continued, is
governed entirely by our thoughts
and acts now. And the so-called
past being all contained in the
present, the present is worth
more than any part of the past,
because the whole is greater than
any of it's parts.
1.-THE Presentist, in making his
life both possible and desirable,
need remember and use one prin-
ciple-Action. Strive for Right
Action--action toward q worthy
cause-and Full Action-corra-
lated activity Of soul, mind and
body. When you find yourself IN
an undesirable situation, remem-
Der to fight it out from that
point, because you must!
know the conditions--ynake
them your slave. not your mas
ter.
Live a life Of JOY, triumph
and ever-growing, Everything
success now. Whatever your sit
uation in life, make the most
of it.
"All time is a great Now; all
space is a great HERE. Time is
one, space is one"
AS you will see, the entire
theory of "Presentism" is summed
up in a sentence: "All life is for
ever in the present"
Curiously the thought takes
away the terror connected with
sense of flight Of time-estab-
fishes an understanding Of rela-
tive values. I hope you may dis
cover in it the fascination l have
found.

The other day we were talk
ing about ice. One said that
ice after it is frozen into "a
solid mass holds no higher or
lower temperature. / claim
that ice in the Arctic circle
holds a lower temperature than
does ice in the United States.
There must be a difference of
temperature in different eli
mates. Would not ice in this
section of the country melt the
ice Of the Arctic circle?-C. T.
G., New Britain.
~ UGH questions touch the
foundation of our knowledge
~ of nature. What is ice?
Water in the solid state. Why is
it solid? Because it's molecules
no longer possess, as they did
while it was in the liquid state,
enough vibratory energy to pre-
vent them from being rigidly at
tached together. This molecular
energy may manifest itself to our
senses in the effect that we call
heat.
When q river freezes, the air
over it is warmed. When water
is at the same temperature as
our bodies we do not notice the
heat energy that it contains. But
if our hands are cold ordinary
water seems warm to them. II
more energy molecular vibra
tom is impaired to the water it
becomes sensibly warmer and at
ryfufIN n M
the state of vapor.
At a certain temperature-the
boiling point-all the water be-
comes vapor, or steam. because
the increased energy in the mole
cules has reached an intensity
that frees them entirely from
their bonds and they fly apart,
or expand, in all directions.
But the steam may have it's
temperature, that is, its internal
energy, raised far above the boil
ing point of water. In other
words, water in the form Of steam
may have various degrees of tenn
perature Relatively speaking,
there may be hot steam or cool
steam.

LIQUID state it may be warm or
cold, although above a certain
temperature or intensity of molec-
ular vibration 1t cannot remain
LIQUID, but changes to the Vapor-
GUS state, while below a certain
other temperature the freezing
point, again it cannot remain
liquid, but changes to the solid
state. But between these two
critical temperatures water may
be so cold as to make you shiver
at it's touch, or so hot as to scald
your hand. But even when it
seems very cold it still retails suf-
ficient heat, or energy of molecu-
lar vibration, to keep it liquid,
and when it seems very hot 1t
still has not enough heat energy
to turn it into vapor.
Now, the same thing is true Of
water in the form of ice. The
temperature may be only just suf-
ficiently low TO prevent the ice
from melting back again to the
liquid state, or it may be a great
many degrees below the freezing
point. So, just as there may be,
relatively speaking, hot steam
and cool steam. there may be cold
ice and warm ice. But, as far
as we know, lowering the tenn
perature Of ice cannot change 1t

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

WV HAT can the virtues Of
" our ancestors profit US
w if we do not initiate
them?
We cannot control the evil
tongues Of others, but a good life
enables us to despise them.
Flattery is false coin which
only derives its currency from
our vanity.
We are never so ridiculous
from the qualities we have, as
from those we affect to have.
Love is never lost. If not
and soften and purify the heart.
They are never alone who are
accompanied by noble thoughts.
They also serve who only stand
and wait.
What greater crime than loss
of time?
Tranquility is difficult of at
tainrnent in leisure.
A noble mind disdains not to
repent.
Fortune often rewards with in.
to wait for her.
It is well our faults are not
written on our faces.
He who possesses a great deal
is not the most happy-it is he
who desires little and knows how
to enjoy it.
A great deal depends upon q
mans courage when he is SIAN
dered. Weak men are crushed by
detraction, but the brave hold on
and succeed.
Impromptu is truly the touch
stone of wit.
The research for what is true
and the practice of what is good
are the two most important OBJ
jects Of philosophy.
True eloQuence consists in say
ing all that is necessary and
nothing but what is necessary.
Wisdom alone is true ambitions

Wisdom the source of virtue, and
of fame,
Obtained with labor, for mankind
employed,
And then, when most you share

The man who enslaves himself
to his money Is proclaimed in
our very language to be a miser,
or miserable man.
Men are much more unwilling
to have their weaknesses and
their imperfections known than
their crimes; and IL you hint to a
man that you think him silly,
ignorant. or even ill-bred. or
awkward. he will hate you more
and longer than If you tell him
plainly you think him rogue.
All persons are not discreet
enough to know how to take

into anything except the solid
state, while raising the tempera-
ture of steam does not take 1t out
of the vaporous or gaseous state.
But super-heated steam and mira
cooled ice possess some special
physical properties.
Your idea that ice from the
Arctic regions would be- melted"

is not quite correct. In the first
place, as a geographic and mete-
geological detail, when the New
England climate is making ice it
is not in humor for accepting
sighting comparisons OF it's
achievements with Arctic stand
ards. But, anyhow, ice could not
melt ice-except by the effects of
pressure. Imagine a piece of ice
from the Arctic "cold focus
placed in contact with one of the
same dimensions frozen at our
ordinary winter temperature.
We may suppose that, without
interference from outside condi-
tions, the greater quantity of
molecular energy contained in
the warmer" ice would be slowly
distributed through the other, un-
til the two pieces had attained
the same temperature, which
would be measured by the total
energy contained in them divided
by their combined cubic capacity.
The laws Of thermo-dynamics
tell us that heat energy, like
water, flows down hill, namely,
from an area of higher level (teln-
perature) to one of a lower level
temperature. The comparison is
not a perfect one, but it may serve
to give an idea of the matter.
Broadly, the same law applies to
all forms Of energy. Electric EN-.
ergy passes from the high tension
side toward the low tension.
