results are possible when the thoughtful student considers the movements of the heavenly bodies, and stops to ask the question, Why? The moon revolves around the earth, and while we can ' t see it, is the time it ' s on the other side of the earth. APPENDIX We have already indicated in paragraph No. 5 the value of careful analysis, and the purpose of approaching all problems from the scientific point of view. After examining some object or substance in this spirit, it is always well to tabulate one ' s conclusions, as we have attempted to do in our consideration of the question, What is heavy water? That this practice may be profitably employed in all branches of study can be quite simply shown by the following example: Consider a broad cultural question, such as What is wrong with the Sistine Madonna? By a tabulation of conclusions, the most enlightening information becomes apparent. She is in all the junk shops. Not according to convention. Sentimental. The lower portion has been removed and does not hang in Dresden with the rest. The Assump- tion is shown with the Virgin holding the child, which is unusual. The eyes. The baby is resting on air, because the mother ' s arms don ' t support it. The symbolism. The proportions of the child. The composition is wrong. She has but one eye. Perspective and proportions are wrong. A bit rococo. Off center and off balance. Cross-eyed. She is standing. Raphael ' s sugar sweetness. Her dress. She is not standing on anything solid. 17

10. It is a type of water which has recently been shown to travel, and to be absorbed more slowly through the kidneys than regular water. Apparently it is not harmful to the system. 11. A scientist drank some of it and it did not kill him. 12. The molecules are arranged differently in the H. 13. Sulphuric acid. 14. Theoretically it kills you if you drink it, but apparently it doesn ' t. This is a thoughtful analysis of all the possibilities. 6. Geology and Biology. These two sciences, as the most popular of the required sciences, will not be considered in as much detail as chemistry or physics, in that not as many explanatory remarks are necessary in order to familiarize the student with these fields of scientific thought. The only biological topic around which there can be any doubt is the question of chromosomes, as popular science has invaded this field, and circulated a good deal of misleading data. We can dismiss the entire question by stating that chromosomes are low forms of animal life. hills Geology, briefly, is the study of maps and fossils. A further definition need valleys not concern us here. In our limited space we will have to content ourselves with the simple and obvious statement that there are hills and valleys so that the rainfall may be carried to the sea (the rivers in turn forming new valleys by the strength of their currents.) If this is once clearly understood, the entire map burden will be immeasurably lightened. conclusion In this simple text we have attempted to show that science (proper) is characterized by the scientific spirit (see paragraph 2 ) , which means nothing more than looking about and asking Why? We have then briefly at- tempted to outline the great fields of scientific inquiry, and to state a few of the out- standing facts under each of these fields. We direct the attention of the student to the plate at the end of this chapter; it is a fitting conclusion to this work, as it shows what The scientist referred to is under no circumstances to be confused with Maxwell ' s Demon.
