     ’ "That in all circumstances one added to one makes two” - This looks like 
     
     a hard proposition to disprove, for nothing seems simpler than that one penny 
     
     plus one penny are equal to two pennies, but wait till-you have'read what sir 
     
     Oliver Lodge, F.R.s., has to say on the subject: 7 
     
    

    
     "In order to illustrate the matter further, in what may seem almost a 
     
    

    
     frivolous way, I would contend that whereas the proposition that one added to 
     
     one makes two is abstractedly beneath controversy, it need not be true for the 
     
     addition of concrete things. It is not true for two globules of mercury, for 
     
     instance, nor'for a couple of colliding stars! not true for a pint on.water 
     
     added to a pint of vitriol, nor for nitric acid added to oXygen, nor for the 
     
     ‘ingredients of an explosive mixture; not necessarily true, either, for snakes 
     
     in a cage, or for capital invested in a business concern, flourishing or 
     
     otherwise; nor is it true, save in a temporary manner, for a couple of trout 
     
     added to a pond. Life can ridicule arithmetic.M ‘
