floundering in the interminable sea of " I 

 don't know." 



The atom when it is acting under the direc- 

 tion of a fixed law is a giant in strength. And 

 when its individual strength is multiplied by 

 billions upon billions the combined energy 

 exerted produces a power that is irresistible. 

 Not only has nature endowed these atoms with 

 this wonderful power, but she has also willed 

 that they arrange themselves in lines of 

 beauty. In confirmation of this we need only 

 to study the work of the frost upon our win- 

 dow panes. As we lie in our beds on a cold 

 night and exhale moisture from our lungs 

 it settles upon the window panes of our 

 bedrooms, where Nature that wonderful 

 artist forms it into beautiful pictures th&t 

 gladden our eyes when we awake : 



Most beautiful things ; there are flowers and trees, 

 And bevies of birds, and swarms of bees, 

 And cities, and temples, and towers, and these 

 All pictured in silver sheen.
