The scientist returning meditatively from a lecture came upon the recumbent figure of a man in front of a house. He discovered that the man Jived on the first floor. He piloted him upstairs, and, opening a door, pushed him gently in. On reaching the ground floor again another human being confronted him. and he also needed help to the first floor. But when the scientist found yet another fellow-creature in distress his curiosity was aroused, and he said: “It’s strange that there should be three men needing help to the first floor of the same house.” “ Not so strange, mister,” replied the prone figure, “ seeing as how. you’ve dropped me down the lift ’ole twice.”
