THE MYsSTERY or TIME By Lewis Milligan The line between the Old ° New is an imaginary one. W 4 1°, Ne between the Old Year and the New is an imaginary one. We are apt to think on New Year‘s Eve that Old Man Time pauses in his headiong pace before starting out on another jJourney, or that he gives {:hee to a bright and eager youngster who nows nothing of the past and steps out into the future with a smile. The latter is a pretty fancy, but it is only true bf childhood.

Roalistic bit from The Farmers‘ Advocate: "Snowâ€"plowed roads are one reason for higher muniâ€" cipal taxes.

As a New York commentstor satirizes: ‘The ten bestâ€"dressed women of the year have just been named and Td like to hear the remarks of any of the girls who finished worse than third. To put a year‘s effort and money into an event like that and not even be in the money when the official board goes up must be pretty exasperating. Mrs. Bill. Paley won but T‘ll bet that the ladies who finished as good as "place or show‘"" claim they were either caught in the gate or blocked in the stretch. Every end is a new beginning. We meaâ€" sure time by cyclesâ€"a day is one of the earth‘s orbit around the sun. We set our clocks and calendars by these cycles for our own convenience; but, what we call the end of a year is an artificial measurement, for the New Year might as well begin in June as in January, so far as the cycle of the earth is concerned. Mathematical scientists tell us that our idea of time is an illusion. In 1887, A. A. Michelson, an American physicist, conducted experiments to measure the velocity with which the earth moves through the year. From these experments he came to the aâ€" mazing conclusion that the earth did not move at allâ€"that it was stationary! That, of course, was the belief of the ancients, who thought the earth was the centre of the uniâ€" verse. While no fiiw could be found in Michâ€" elson‘s mathematical deduction that the earth was stationary. this was known to be imposâ€" gible. The result wasa mystery to the matheâ€" maticians until Einstein expounded his theory of relativity (svaceâ€"time) in 1905â€" but that theory isa still deeper mystery. The deeper we probe, the more mysterious the universe and lifeitself becomes, because the finite human nind is incavable of grasping ultimate truth. Keats realized this when he After all ourexplorations into the unâ€" known we must rturn to our base. Baffled by the mystery f things, Job exclaimed, "Whence then ecneth Wisdom? And where is the place of urlerstanding?" And he conâ€" cluded: "Behold he fear (reverence) of the Lord, that is wisdm : and to depart from evil is understanding.
