Mysteries of Science
By Archibald Henderson

Some Of the scientific
theories and discoveries Of
modern times have caused
men, at moments, to question
"rhether, after all, nature is
not, perhaps, capricious and
illogical. Are natural laws as
immutable as the laws of the
Medes and Persians? Are laws
which hold true everywhere
on earth likewise valid on Bet
elgeuse or Sirius?
1t was the Norwegian dram
atist. Ibsen, who once asked:
How can you guarantee that
two and two do not make five
ON Jupiter?"
In modern times the discov-
cry of the non-Euclidean geom-
etries brings forcibly to the
foreground this very question.
Is the Euclidean n geometry
"true" on this planet, but not
"true" on Mars? Huxley,
GhOugn no maLnemaC1clan ana
not having the mathemati-
clans point Of view, sensed the
Importance Of the issue, as illus
trated in his words:
LET us suppose that a tele-
scope powerful enough to show
us what is going on in the
nebula of the Sword of Orion
should reveal a world in which
: stones fell upward, parallel
lines met and the fourth di-
rnension of space was quite
obvious"
Men of science would have
only two alternatives before
them. Either the terrestrial
and the nebular facts must be
brought into harmony by such
feats of subtle sophistry as the
human mind is always capable
of performing when driven into
The Washington times., 1930-09-10

eyes, they do. Just as crazy
about it as the women. And
you can't blame them. It's
sort of a relaxation"
Relaxation? From what? From
the grind Of futile drudgery?
But what makes it futile and
what makes it drudgery? The
cussednesS of climate, the crook
ednesS of markets? Or their
own ignorance and indifference
and lack of enthusiasm? Read
ing love confessions and wild
West heart throbS while the
wheat dwindles in the sour soil
Of the south pasture, while
their fruit trees die Of blight,
because they try to run their
farms by methods which their
granddads used?
Could a business man keep
his trade if he showed no more
interest than that? Gould an
editor run his paper if he did
no more studying than that?
Judge for yourself.

a corner; or science must throw
down its arms in despair and
commit suicide. either by the
admission that the universe is,
after all, irrational, inasmuch
as that which is truth in one
corner of it is absurdity in an
other, or by a declaration Of
incompetency.
Einstein has shown conclu-
sively that Huxley is wrong and
that neither geometry is true"
in the absolute sense. The par
ticular geometry most suitable
is that determined by the
metric properties of the particu-
lar space in question. Fortu-
nately, these geometries were
available to him through the
discoveries of a young Hun
garian, Janos Bolyai.
This young man (1802-1860),
whose father was q fellow stu
dent at Goettingen of the great
mathematician Gauss, pr0QuceQ
brief treatise on "the abSo-
lutely true science of space" as
he called it.
In his enthusiasm he wrote
his father: II have created a
new universe from nothing"
In contradiStinction to Euclid,
Bolyai assumed that. in a plane,
instead of one line. two lines
could be drawn through point
parallel to a given line.
The system thus set up was
logical and self consistent.
Gauss wrote in 1882: II con-
slider the young geometer, Won
Bolyai, a genius Of the first
rank" Bolyai's epochal work
is one of the most brilliant
achievements in the history of
science.

This is why the responsibility

in part:
The President secured an
agreement from the employers
of labor that they (the en-
ployers) would not reduce
wages. If it had not been for

First-The loss of two years OF
one "step-up" pay, from July l.
1928. to July /, 1880, that the
Congress intended should be two
"step-up" pay beginning July l,
1928.
Further: When the Brookhart
bill passed the Senate unani-
mously, January 6, 1880, and
was reported to the House Janu-
ary II, 1890, Mr.. Lehlbach had
eliminated, by amendment. the

years for the one "Step-up" that
tne low-Salaried employees were
deprived of while all other gov
ernment higher-paid employees,
affected by the WEIGH bill, as OF
July /, 1928, benefited in full
of the two "step-up." Why this
flesh of the higher-paid and fish

Now these same employees,

After the stomach comes the
intestine, and after that the
large intestine.
The small intestine is very
long-about 20 feet. Where it
joins with the stomach 1t is
about 2 inches in diameter and
gradually its size diminiShes un-
til it is only about inch In
width where it runS into the
large intestine. It is customary
to divide the small intestine
into three partS-the duodenum,
the jejunun and the ileum.
The duodenum is a favorite
place for ulcers. It Is about 8
inches in length. AT first it
runs upward and then makes a
complete bend.
The second division. or jeju-
nun, runs on about 712 feet.
The third division or ileum,
is the most twisted of all, and
often it Is difficult to say just
where the jejenun ends and the
ileum begins.
The small intestine is COM
posed Of four coats or layers.
On the outside is a SerouS
layer, then there is a muscular
coat, then a submucus one and
lastly a mucous layer.
From the mucous coat there
extend. into the intestinal tube
tiny finger.like projections
called "villi." These increase
the surface and hence absorp-
ton power Of the intestinal
tract.
Besides the intestines contain
glands and nodes Of three types.
