THEY PUZZLE GREAT MINDS.
Simple Words Too Profound For Hu
. man Understanding. r
Q.t'fin there be two kinds of Infini
ties or two Infinite spaces?
A. -The writer of this question must
decide The nearest star Is distant
twenty live trillion miles. Write a row
of units 111111... to the star end (ef
each unit represent one mile; tben tVie
dlshi nee represented by a line of l'a.
twenty-five trillion, utiles long, sub
merges all human powers of imagina
tion But write a row of &.. twenty-five
trillion- miles- long: then the
number of miles represented would be
twice hh great. Then, write a row of
IKKHiiW... equally long. Hud the distance
express would be nine times as great
as 'thin represented by the l's.
' Hut no human can think of the dis
tance expressed by- the Vs. Let the
first row of, figures extend twenty-five
trillion or fifty dr. a thousand trillion
mlles'to the east: then n row could be
extended towurd the west. Many mil
lions of years would be required to
write the long rows. Supose tbat
you write: 0" both 'way during a thou
sand million years each. Tben the dis
tance in miles would be thinner than
a spider's, thread when compared to
nn Infinite distance. '."
There are possibly fifty persons now
living able to think one new thought
They are the mighty of the earth, and
are all transcendent mathematicians.
Not one of these even tries to begin to
think of Infinity ot eternity. They all
know bettor. Only the superficial
strive to think of the two words, so
my questioner must answer his own
question, for I cannot even hope to se
cure a glimpse, lasting a thousandth
part of one second, of the meaning of
one of the following list of words:
Mind, space, time, duration, infinity,
eternity, beginning, end. space and
electrons. Edgar Lucicn Larkin In

FOOD SUPERSTITIONS.

F.ar of Becoming Timid. ,
In rural tJermnn.v one still meets
with a superstition that he who eats
during a thunderstorm will be struck
by lightning. Abstaining from rood

savagei: also a belief that In eating the
flesh of any. animal one absorbs that
animal's characteristics. Thus an In'
