But, said he: "It is the contents and not the symmetry of a skull which counts in the long run." Perhaps that is why numerologists, crystal-gazers, table-tippers, ouija-board-pushers, rhythmical dancers and all-round yogis stop at nothing in time, space, mind or matter. Then there is the New World Water Cult, with rooms in New York, Philadelphia and Cleveland, whose members sit with their bare feet in hot water and with cold...
