The ordinary run of men live among phe- 

 nomena of which they care nothing and know 

 less. They see bodies fall to the earth, they hear 

 sounds, they kindle fires, they see the heavens 

 roll above them, but of the causes and inner 

 workings of the whole they are ignorant, and 

 with their ignorance they are content. 



SIR OLIVER LODGE.
