MIND IS FUNCTION 163 



chical phenomena, both must be recognized as the same 

 thing. The molecular motion is the psychical phenom- 

 ena. No one can find a measurable test, scientifically, 

 of the purely psychical phenomenon, because he is try- 

 ing to measure something that does not exist, in a 

 measurable form. But while the evidence cannot be 

 thus reduced to the same scientific basis, as mechanical 

 motion ; yet, such constant connection, between such 

 molecular mechanics of the nervous structure, and the 

 phychical phenomena of the organism, made up largely 

 of such structure, seem to be one and the same thing; 

 just as molar motion is the attraction of gravitation. 

 The three laws of Kepler from which attraction of 

 gravitation was mathematically derived, are descrip- 

 tions of the observed forms which such motion always 

 takes. That motion produces the harmony, or "men- 

 tality" of the universe. 



"We occasionally meet with the view, that in the 

 exact natural sciences, nothing shall be the object of 

 investigation, which cannot be measured, according to 

 mass and number. This conception, destined to hinder 

 the development of scientific knowledge, as the first 

 step towards the explanation of many phenomena, can 

 in most cases only be made by qualitative, and not 

 quantitative investigation, although the ideal goal is 

 mathematical demonstration of the processes, in living 

 organisms, from which we are still far removed." 

 (Max Verworm.) 



There are very many mental conceptions in the 

 practical affairs of men, whose boundaries cannot be 

 measured by exact mathematical lines. Lord Macauley 

 in discussing the revolution of 1688 in England said, 

 "A good action is not distinguished from a bad action 

 by marks so plain as those which distinguish a hexagon
