The bee, in wandering miles from its hive, gathering honey 

 from flower to flower, on securing a goodly store of sweets, takes 

 a direct course to its hive, or, as generally spoken of, makes " a

 never find his way home in a direct straight line, as does the little 

 busy bee. From this, we hold that man, with all his attainments 

 and acquired knowledge, is unable to perform the mysterious
