Had Bloom and Stephen been baptised, and where and by whom, cleric or layman?



Bloom (three times) by the reverend Mr Gilmer Johnston M.A., alone, in the protestant church of Saint Nicholas Without, Coombe, by James O'Connor, Philip Gilligan and James Fitzpatrick, together, under a pump in the village of Swords, and by the reverend Charles Malone C.C., in the church of the Three Patrons, Rathgar. Stephen (once) by the reverend Charles Malone, C.C., alone, in the church of the Three Patrons, Rathgar.



Did they find their educational careers similar?



Substituting Stephen for Bloom Stoom would have passed successively through a dame's school and the high school. Substituting Bloom for Stephen Blephen would have passed successively through the preparatory, junior, middle and senior grades of the intermediate and through the matriculation, first arts, second arts and arts degree courses of the royal university.



Why did Bloom refrain from stating that he had frequented the university of life?



Because of his fluctuating incertitude as to whether this observation had or had not been already made by him to Stephen or by Stephen to him.



What two temperaments did they individually represent?



The scientific. The artistic.



What proofs did Bloom adduce to prove that his tendency was towards applied, rather than towards pure, science?



Certain possible inventions of which he had cogitated when reclining in a state of supine repletion to aid digestion, stimulated by his appreciation of the importance of inventions now common but once revolutionary, for example, the aeronautic parachute, the reflecting telescope, the spiral corkscrew, the safety pin, the mineral water siphon, the canal lock with winch and sluice, the suction pump.



Were these inventions principally intended for an improved scheme of kindergarten?



Yes, rendering obsolete popguns, elastic airbladders, games of hazard, catapults. They comprised astronomical kaleidoscopes exhibiting the twelve
