Then setting it on the table I said to it: Once you were a lemon and assuch you were of little you are a turtle and still youare a failure. But as an illustra-tion of the magnetic forces, you area success. Your head is not by anymeans equal to a problem in Euclid,but it is the best one you ever is the place where the first circuit of magnetic forceentered your body, and whatever intellect you have isdue to that fact. Your head counts for one, Fi^. 40. Your tail seems to be nothing more than an artisticdevelopment; that is the place where the first circuitleft you, which was a very unfortunate circumstance,for had it remained with you, you might at this mo-ment be discussing the matter with THE BEST E VIDENCE. 211 Your fore and hind legs were developed by theforce of the second circuit. They are in fact yournorthern and southern aurorce. The only troublewith you is that when the first circuit left you, yourdevelopment ceased. If I knew for what cause itleft you, I would tell you, but I do not. However,I have the honor to inform you that you score sixpoints, and if you were a living specimen that factwould make seven. And now since I have spokenrather disparagingly of your tail, I will also informyou that the antarctic regions of your great proto-type, the earth, are in about the same lamentablecondition.* I hope both of you will come out allright. Another look at the diagram, Fig. 16, carried my * The two polar regions differ greatly. The seas of thearctic teem with animal life. Land animals, such as thebear, wolf, reindeer, musk-ox, and arctic fox, are scatteredover the frozen surface of the land where they find the me
