Science, which claims so large a share ofthe attention of all the intelligent people ofto-day, and with good reason, has to do withfacts, or, we might say, with truth. Thescientist has for his work the determinationof truth. We have sought out the truths ofelectricity, and now we are able, by meansof a small wire, to conduct this intangiblefluid so that it moves great carloads of peo-ple. Scientific truth is gained by experi-ments. These experiments must be manytimes repeated or we may draw wrong con-clusions, and claim for truth what is nottruth at all. Old observers in astronomy sawthe sun, as they thought, go repeatedly aroundthe earth and gave this forth as a truth. Wenow know that they were wrong. They weredeceived by appearances.
