Cuban planters chipped in to pay his expenses. President Machado of Cuba blessed his activities. So disarmingly had he told his story before that the Lobby Committee praised him for his "frankness...
ALTHOUGH a scientific cosmology in not easily comprehended by the layman interested in the interdependence of the instruments and the methods of science. Professor Whitehead constructs his metaphysical explanation more vividly than might be supposed. "Science and the Modern World," which consists of an amplification of the Lowell Lectures for 1925, is meant for those who are interested in the readjustment of the philosophy that "builds cathedrals before the workmen have moved a stone and destroys them before the elements have worn down their arches...
