Every day, all day long, a constant stream, an interminable procession! Ministers and missionaries, oriental scholars and occult students, practical men of affairs and mystics, Anglicans, Catholics, and Non-conformists, Theosophists and Hindus, Christian Scientists and doctors of medicine, Muslims, Buddhists and Zoroastrians.
In no proper understanding of the words can there be any conflict between science and religion. There can be a conflict, as Dr. Andrew D. White puts it, between science and theology. There can certainly be contest between scientists and religionists. Science and religion have no conflict. It is interesting to observe how far back most of the supposed conflicts actually lie.
"But that lady read from the Bible that there is 'nothing covered that shall not be revealed, neither hid that shall not be made known'; then the man read something about it being a law of God for truth to uncover error. Do you believe that, Miss Minturn?" "Yes." "Do you Scientists really know how to find out anything that is hidden or or secret?" eagerly inquired the girl.
The forestry scientists and lumbermen have now improved the use of dry kilns and artificial systems of curing green lumber. Now more than thirty-five of the leading woods such as Douglas fir, southern yellow pine, spruce, gum and oak can be seasoned in the kilns in short time. It used to take about two years of air drying to season fir and spruce.
I ordered a choice dinner for twelve, paid the earnest money, and made the host promise that everything should be of the best. When I got back to St. Angelo, I had a sackfull of books carried into Clementine's room. She was petrified. There were more than one hundred volumes, poets, historians, geographers, philosophers, scientists nothing was forgotten.
But their proposals would require big changes in property interests, and would that be "reasonable and practical"? Evidently not: it is more reasonable and practical to keep park benches out of the shadows and to plague unescorted prostitutes. And where are the open questions: the issues that everybody should consider, the problems that scientists should study? I see almost no trace of them.
"I guess you don't appreciate the danger," said Jack gravely, as he followed Professor Henderson back to the pilot room, where the two scientists began to consult. "We have decided on a plan, Mr. Henderson and myself," said Mr. Roumann. "The fact that so little is certainly known concerning comets makes it difficult to know what to do.
All about them now, the smiths were beating out old chanteys on the ancient anvils and the newer, clashing machines. In the days that followed there was no time for rest. Thanks to the smaller prototype which had already gone into space, no elaborate tests were required of the new ship. Moreover, the scientists had taken centuries to go over the Old Ship, bolt by bolt, part by part, wire by wire.
Edison's statement, yet I ventured to remind him that several distinguished scientists had declared that the airship America could not fail to destroy the German fleet. "Pooh!" he answered. "I said the America expedition would fail. The radio-control of torpedoes is uncertain at the best because of difficulties in following the guide lights.
Among the good men he discovered and hired to teach his people was John Tyndall, one of the world's great scientists. Owen seized upon Fourier's plan of the "phalanstery" five hundred or a thousand people living in one great palace, built in the form of a hollow square.
