The history of science has seven problems that men in all ages more or less have tried to solve, but which have finally been given up by all." Today they are called follies. The usual list comprises the following: First squaring the circle; second, duplication of the cube; third, trisec-tlon of an angle; fourth, perpetual motion; fifth, transmutation of metals; sixth, fixation of seventh, elixir of life.

Louis himself, no mean performer, took lessons for twenty years from Beau-champs, who was called the father of all dancing masters and upon whom the king conferred the title doctor as a special mark of favor. Beauchamps had the honor of appearing as partner with the king In the minuet, a dance which was introduced in 1650 in France, and no court ball was opened in Europe for a century and a half without it.

Thinking he could make his remarks more pertinent to his hearers by metaphorically using sea expressions, he said: "Now, friends, you know that when you are at sea in a storm the thing you do is anchor."
