another gets a harder blow and it kills him. Does he 

 become unconscious too ? If so, when, and how does he 

 come to his consciousness 1 } The man who has had a slight 

 and moderate blow comes to himself when the immediate 

 shock passes off and the organs begin to work again, or 

 when a bit of the skull is " pried " up, if that happens to be 

 broken. Suppose the blow is hard enough to spoil the 

 brain and stop the play of the organs, what happens then ? ' 

 So far as physical science is concerned, there is no answer to 

 this question ; but physical science does not as yet compre- 

 hend all the knowable, and the knowable comprehends not 

 all that has been, is, and will be. What we know and can 

 know is nothing, the unknown and the unknowable are alike 

 infinite.
