deal about the laws of gravitation, but we 

 know nothing about gravitation itself. So 

 the laws of cohesion render steel good 

 material for making knives, but cohesion 

 itself could not make one knife. The only

 grander conception of that Reality when 

 this is recognized as the cause of the uni- 

 form operation of blind natural laws 

 without once changing their naturalness. 

 The scientist may therefore go on in his 

 plodding investigation quite sure that he 

 will never be troubled with an unnatural 

 law.
