In
case
of
necessity
any
layman
or
woman
can
do
it
.
The
formula
which
he
wrote
obediently
on
the
sheet
of
paper
,
the
coiling
and
uncoiling
calculations
of
the
professor
,
the
spectre-like
symbols
of
force
and
velocity
fascinated
and
jaded
Stephen
's
mind
.
He
had
heard
some
say
that
the
old
professor
was
an
atheist
freemason
.
O
the
grey
dull
day
!
It
seemed
a
limbo
of
painless
patient
consciousness
through
which
souls
of
mathematicians
might
wander
,
projecting
long
slender
fabrics
from
plane
to
plane
of
ever
rarer
and
paler
twilight
,
radiating
swift
eddies
to
the
last
verges
of
a
universe
ever
vaster
,
farther
and
more
impalpable
.

So
we
must
distinguish
between
elliptical
and
ellipsoidal
.
Perhaps
some
of
you
gentlemen
may
be
familiar
with
the
works
of
Mr
W.
S.
Gilbert
.
In
one
of
his
songs
he
speaks
of
the
billiard
sharp
who
is
condemned
to
play
:
On
a
cloth
untrue
With
a
twisted
cue
And
elliptical
billiard
balls
.
--
He
means
a
ball
having
the
form
of
the
ellipsoid
of
the
principal
axes
of
which
I
spoke
a
moment
ago
.
Moynihan
leaned
down
towards
Stephen
's
ear
and
murmured
:
--
What
price
ellipsoidal
balls
!
chase
me
,
ladies
,
I
'm
in
the
cavalry
!
