Matter and Fore#.
Science has demonstrated the fact
that matter and force are indestructi
ble. To the sum total of the matter
and enen^- of the universe nothing
lias ever been added, and from them
nothing has ever been subtracted.
Thinss are perpetually changing from
one form Into another—from one form
of matter to another form of matter,
from one form of force to another
f'->rm of force—but amid the eternal
transformation nothing is created, noth
ing annihilated.—New York American.
