1 SCIEflTISTSVMESS SFtlASH-UP OF ATOMS View Extraordinary Photographs cf Crash of Projectiles at 20,000 Miles an Hour. ONE BEHAVES STRANGELY Hydrogen Atom Hit by Helium Atom, Travels in Direction From Which Blow Came. CIVILIZATION'S REAL TASK Carnegie Inatituta Head Aaterta Energy Mutt Be Maintained to Prevent Degeneration. Special to Tho Kne Tork Time: CAMBRIDGE. Dec 27.

Extraordinary photographs of th smash-ttp of atoms were displayed to chemists of the American Association for the Advancement of Science here today in the course of a session at which many of tha chief American lnvestiratora of atoms and the electrons that compose them were present. Kw calculations as to the size of different atoms wer laid before the chemical section by Dr. Theodore W. Richards of Harvard. A new periodic table cf elements was explained by Dr.

W. D. Hark Ins of the University of Chicago, which arranree the atoms and aubva- rletles ef atoms tailed Isotopes. Strictly epeakinc. there are no longer a mere group of nlnety-twe elements, according to the old perdolo table, but a totalof several hundred.

For practical purposes, however, the old list of nine t--two holds because the new atoms, or Isotopes, have no characteristics of their own except minute differences In mass. For Instance, lead Is never found as a atnfl element, but is a combination of different varieties cf lead atoms, each bavins' apparently the same physical and chemical natures, except for the slight difference in mass. Photographs of two new types of atomic collisions were showed by Dr. Richards. These were taken by the Wilson and Ebiroldsu methods of photographing aa alpha particle, otherwise known as double charged helium nucleus, during Its Clht through damp air.

Ome He Can't Xxalala. I have not been able to explain this Dr. Richards, showing- a picture of the helium atom striking- a hydrogen or nitrogen atom. This showed a helium atom traveling In a straight line after sideswiplns; a hydrogen atom, while the hydrogen atom which had been hit went' backward instead of forward. Instantly on being struck the atom had started to travel backward in the direction from which the blow came.

The atom which had delivered the blow in the meantime continued ahead on a straight course. The atomic projectile made a speed of 20.000 miles an hour, and In other cases drove Its targets In all directions except backward. Sometimes, in the case of a head-on collision, the projec tile Itself rebounded, but Its target was knocked forward. This unusual effect occurred only once la 10,000 photographs of crashing atoms, and thousands more are to be taken. Dr.

Harking amid, to see whether to see whether throw any fur-! or aa atom. repetitions of the effect tber light on the behavior The other type of photograph which is not understood resembles a follow hot In billiards. The projectile, after striking another atom, proceeds In almost the same path. The target atom also moves forward In almost the same path. There were several photographs of this effect.

FhetegTasfes Are YItM. The atom Itself Is about a million times too small to be seen with the naked eye. but the high-speed alpha particle, or helium nucleus, which Is used as a projectile. Is able to produce effects which can be seen and photographed vividly. The particles are bombarded from radium or some Other radio-active substances Into an enclosure which Is full of air supersaturated with water.

All dust particles have been pumped out previously so that there Is nothing- for the water -to condense on and form drops. when there is no dost for It to deposit Itself on. water vapor will throw Itself as drops on the trail of an alpha particle. Air molecules are electrically charged or transformed into Ions by, the speeding atom, and the water vapor will seize on aa ion when dust particles are absent. A fine mist Is thus set up along the trail of the projectile and along the secondary trail made by the target after It has been knocked forward or to one side at high speed.

Under a strong light these moisture lines can be beauti fully photographed. The head-on col Uaions have been Shown to knock some of the lighter atoms to pieces, thus pro ducing the artificial disintegration of atoms first shown by Sir Ernest Rutherford. This rarely occurs, however, be cause of the amallness of the bodies in volved. The alpha particle, or double charged helium nucleus, occupies only about one-millionth-part of the space of the ordinary atom, which consists of one or more outer rings of atoms as well as the nucleus. The nucleus weighs 1.740 times as much as the outer shell.

but Is less than one-mOllonth as big-, The very small pellets has to penetrate the outer shell of another atom and hit the nucleus before the break-up of the atom can take place. Direct hits on this bull's-eye are seldom made. The helium nucleus Is so small that on its flight through an inch of air It passes on the average 600.000 atoms before it bits one. Photographs and even motion pictures of these atomic collisions sre being- taken by the th-jtand In th hope of getting a good picture of a head-on collision resulting- In a complete rmash-up of the target and an artificial transmutation of the target atoms Into hy-drogen and helium. The helium atom is apparently made of four hydrogen atoms, but the atom of helium has less mass than four atoms of hydrogen.

This would mean that bias was lost, but that would conflict with the theory that mass Is indestructible. But what has happened Is that the loet mass Is transformed Into energy and energy is mass. The new measurements which Dr. Richards rave for atoms was based on a study of their compressibility. Usually when atoms unite they pull toward each other and occupy a smaller space then they did when they existed separately.

Dr. Richards sought to determine how much different elements eould be compressed by their own force la these combinations. Previous measurements of the atom had made the average about a hundred millionth part of an Inch. The measurements of Dr. Richards does not dis turb these dimensions greatly, but is supposed to give them with greater refinement.

Malaria la Greece ssd Berne.

The fall of Greece and Rome was attributed to malaria in a discussion by anthropologists of the origin and the effect on history of parasitical diseases. Cortex conquered Montexuroa. it wee asserted, because Cortes brought small pox with him, a disease theretofore unknown in the New World. The soldiers of Cortes suffered little from it. but It spread with great violence among the Axt ccs.

The conquests of Greece supposedly brought about her downfall by the bringing back captives suffering- from malaria. The mosqultos or Greece then transferred It to the native population, where It has remained ever inr. Rome is believed to have suf fered similarly at a later date.

BeienOfle Hints the Bald.

Baldheaded men who allow their scalps to become sunburned and blistered In the Summer to promote a growth of hair and others who shave or apply vaseline and creams to promote it are all mistaken, according to Miss Mildred Trotter, an anthropologist of Washington University, bu oula While pursuing- other researches she came across a widespread belief, she said, that the use of the raxor caused hair to grow more rapidly and coarsely. A series of experiments which she described showed that there was no truth in theory. Hair which was allowed to grow again on areas which had been intensively shaved for a lone period did not differ In quality or requetx-y from those which grew on similar areas of untreated skin. Sunburn and vaseline were hown by experiment to be equally valueless as hair restorers or promoters. This paper has been very interesting end of practical value to mort of said Dr.

T. Wlngate Todd, the Chairman, passing a hand over his bald head. Among other popular theories to go overboard was the belief that big men. tall and heavy, make the best salesmen. The question was not approached with the purpose of discovering- whether bulky men are brainier than small ones, but whether they produce a greater Impression on those they deal with.

Space and time were discussed by mathematicians and astronomers at the session of the American Mathematlca Society, which Is said to have been the largest gathering- of mathematicians ever held in this country. The discussion was chiefly on the Einstein theory, with most of the speakers supporting' Einstein. A Wheat te Resist Bast.

Dr. E. B. Mains of the Purdue Agri cultural Experiment Station described efforts which are being- made to breed a wheat which will resist leaf rust, i disease caused by. a microscopic organ' ism which during the last two years has destroy ed Z.OOO.OW bushels or wheat and Is rapidly spreading.

More than 200 varieties of wheat are grown in fifteen localities in the eastern part of the United States. Dr. Mains said, and each variety has been separ ately exposed to the disease. Some have taken the disease and others have re slated It. But the disease itself was found to vary and assume as -many as twelve different forms.

One variety of wheat was found to be resistant to one type of the rust, but susceptible to an other. The problem has. therefore, been to breed a type of wheat from an ancestry which has elements of resistance to every type of rust. This would be an extremely dirncuit problem to solve, ac cordlnr to Dr. Mains.

Another plan is that of ascertaining the strains of rust 1n a locality and planting- there only wheat of the types adapted to resist that variety of the To settle this question." said Tr Mains. 140 collections of leaf rust were tested In the greenhouse of the Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station, by so doing; bringing them under the same conditions of soil, temperature, In this way It has been found that the difference shown in the susceptibility of varieties at different places Is due not to local conditions, but to the presence of different strains of the rust at these places. Twelve such strains have been found and studied as to their susceptibility to thirty-five selected varieties. While most of these varieties are susceptible to one or more of the twelve strains, yet no strain has been found to which one or more of the varieties are not highly resistant Falling in finding a variety resistant to all strains, it should be possible to produce such by hybridising variety A. resistant to the rust at X.

and variety B. resistant to the rust at Z. and obtain a variety resistant to the strains at both and Z. Such work is well under way." Discovery ef Dinosaur Banes. The first discovery of dinosaur bones In the Red Deer River Valley, which Is now the richest collecting ground In the world for the bones of prehistoric monsters, was described by J.

B. Tyrrell, consulting mining engineer of Toronto, in a paper read before the Geographical and Geological section of the association. On June 9. 1884. he said.

after having spent a long- and hot Summer morning on the river, measuring the thickness of the various beds In the upper part of the Edmonton series and endeavoring to correlate them one with another In the succession of cliffs, we passed down the river. Matthew Cook and I stopped for lunch on the east bank of the river. After lunth I walked eastward for three-quarters' of a mile arroa he valley and climbed Its eastern side. At an elevation of about 200 feet abovo the river, scattered among Irregular masses of brown iron-stone, which formed conspicuous objects on the hill sides or white sandstone. I found a small collection of dinosaurian bones.

ISext day we stopped for lunch be side the river, where the steep sand stone banks of the valley are 300 feet high. Here dinosaurian bones were again found to be abundant. From there downward similar bones were noticed in a number of places, being- especially abundant on the east side of the river." Modern Life Lengthened.

The maintenance of the energy of the race la the real task of our civilization. Dr. Thomas S. 8. Baker, Secretary and Act ing President of the Carnegie Institute of Technology.

Pittsburgh, said in an address today at a sectional meeting or the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Keeping alive the Intellectual and spiritual forces of the raoe he urged as essential to such maintenance. Is degeneration inevitable! ne asked. It would be a bold prophet who would say no to this question. But to answer it In the affirmative means the acceptance of a form of fatalism that will ultimately bring with It a de cline In human confidence and eirort.

The world now shows signs or alarm as it contemplates Its many disorders. We are forced to notice an Increase in a snlrit of morbid introspection which, if continued, may lead to the despondency which Is a characteristic or tne people whose culture Is failing. "The Idea of progress has been al most an axiom in the popular thinking for nearly a century, but now in its stead the conception of inevitable de generation makes itseir heard rrom lime to time. Our feelings revolt at this desperate view of the future. Optimism Is an essential in tne conservation or our present stock of human enersy.

Inertia will overtake the race If we lose confidence In the future. vTfe energy of the race can only he ctrrsorved throuch new Ideas, new dis coveries and the application of theso dis coveries. Mankind will de(rnerate unless there is a continuous flow of new Ideas from the brains of great thinkers to fertilise and inspire the actions and the lives of the unthinking masses. Increased Interest la 8pert. We often mistake restlessness for energy.

We may be making real display of energy on enterprises that have no permanent value. The rapid increase of interest in sports and recreation Is a natural corollary to the heightened teverishness of our age. If we believe that the conservation of man's energy depends upon high thinking, we should attach more importance to repose and contemplation than we do at present. Popular education can increase the sum total of human energy by bringing to the surface powers that otherwine would have remained latent. It can liberate the mind of superior endowments.

At the present time we observe the Increasing- power of the masses. We can Imagine that the power of the masses of unthinking people might be increased that they might dictate more completely the path which thinkers must follow in order to secure a hearing. Should this be the case there would result a blocking of progress not dissimilar to the check that was put upon the original minds of the Middle Ags. I cannot refrain from mentioning as recent samples of medlaevallsm the fight of Bryan to unllst the unthinking people In his struggle to stifle freedom of thought In the field of science and the efforts of the Ku Klux Klan to reduce the country to a state of mob rule. We have no assurance that our cli-llratlon will be permanent.

But so long as we believe that our culture and our ideals of living- ought to be conserved, our chief means of testing- our success In maintaining' them will be the amount of enery and especially Intellectual energy that is being produced." Speaking- before the American Astronomical Society, Colonel John Millls. Engineer Corps. U. S. said there seemed to be strong probability of some fundamental relationship among the phenomena that had produced the similarity of main features and markings on the surfaces of the earth, the moon and Mars.

He advanced the idea that a reconciliation might be possible of the two leading- theories as to the surface features of the moon volcanic action and Impact by meteors. Dr. H. M.

Professor H. R. Hunt of the University of Mississippi said that studies among graduates of Allegheny College had shown that probably this collegiate group had not more than replaced itself. Rerll lea to aura- tionnaln-n were received from 818 grad uates, ai per cent, or those surviving from the clasree of 1870 to 1809. The whole group examined numbered 632.

comprising married men graduates and their wives, married women graduates and their husbands and unmarrlei graduates. This group had produced 722 children. Dr. Hunt said that life insurance statistics showed that only about of these children probably would reach maturity. He said that mental capacity was to a certain extent inheritable, and that was important to determine whether tho birth rate was tending toward a relative decrease In the number of intellectually superior persons.

Professor H. J. Muller of the University of Texas said that In snlte of un settled conditions In Russia, scientists were still carrying on their activities in that country. In the main they are gathered in large State research institutions. AUTOS KILL TWO, ONE DIES OFURTS Long Island City Man Succumbs to Injuries Received on Christmas Day.

Special to The New York Time: CHICAGO. Dec. 27. America is threatened with a population Increased beyond the country's capacity. This Increase, moreover, coming from that class of people who will bequoath to future generations a distinctly Inferior heredity, and the flcht for existence will be Increasingly hard, according to Professor Edward A.

Ross of the University of Wisconsin in an address delivered by him today at a meeting here of the American Sociological Society. The death rate in America Is steadily decreasing, thanks to the skill of surgeons and activities of public health departments," said iTofessor Ross. In twenty years It has decreased one-fourth and in the next twenty years It Is expected to decrease another one-fourth. The birth rate shows a corresponding tendency to decrease with the death rate, but its decrease is among the more valuable elements of the population, the upper one-third. The birth rate of the uneducated classes, the lower two-thirds, is steadily increasing, which means a dangerously lowered mentality among future generations, unless present sociological condl-tWis are altered." Urofessor Ross explained that he had au)Upil of sociology who is now 02 years old.

Under the same rate of increase, the population of the world and In general, end more especially that of America, will become so crowded that the strug-gie for existence will be far more difficult than at present." NEWARK WOMEN ASK HAYS TOBARARBUCKLE Request Him to Reconsider Release of Films Laemmle Appeals for Rotund Comedian. Two organizations of women took action In Newark yesterday to protest the showing of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle's films in New Jersey, on the ground that the pictures were a menace to the children of the State. They were the Congress -of Mothers and Parent-Teachers Association and the Contemporary Club. They wrote to Will H.

Hays, urging him to reconsider his decision to release thw Arbuckle films, saying; that Arbuckle was responsible for much of the feeling against the motion picture Industry. The Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers' Association also has asked each of Its 23.000 members to write to Mr. Hays in protest. Carl Laemmle, President of the Universal Pictures Corporation, issued a statement yesterday upholding- Mr. Hays.

It Inconceivable that In a land whose cardinal principles are fair play and liberty there should 'be so many who are ready to condemn Fatty Arbuckle and drive him forever from the only business he knows. A court has found him not guilty of the charge on which he was arrested. Why shouldn't that alone be enough to settle the whole Why discriminate against Arbuckle? The American public forgot and forgave the charges that ence were made against one of the world's greatest singers, it forgot and forRave charges brought ar alnat one of America's foremost comedians. It forgot forgave charges against one of the greatest of sport promoters. They were acquitted and the public accepted acquittal at full face value and took the the comedian and the promoter back to Its heart.

Why not give Arbuckle an equal chance? He has brought Joy to millions. Give him a fair chance to do it again." URGES CENSORS IN MISSOURI Sunday School Executive Moved to Action by Arbuckle'a Reinstatement. perid! to The Ke Tor Tim: ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27.

went to live with her niece, Nellie Grabol. So attentive to her every care and want was Nellie that the aged aunt made her a present of 11,000. To show her appreciation and love for her Nellie went shopping In the marts of trade and bought her a lovely shroud and tombstone. The sunt was not quite ready to put these gifts into personal use, so she stepped out and married Charles Lukas. Soon Chirles learned of the thousand-dollar grift and he immediately made demands upon Nellie for it.

Nellie refused, so Charles obtained her arrest on a larceny charge. Judge Murray has given the three of them twenty-four hours to settle the affair. TREASURE REMOVED FROM LUXOR TOMB Queen's Dazzling: Robes See the Sunlight Again In Egypt After Thirty Centuries. JEWELS STREWN ON FLOOR These Wert Dropped by Thieves In Hasto Thousands of Yeara Ago -Oil Deposits Hinted. CoprrUM.

by Tbs New Tork Tin Company. By Wireless to Thi New Yoaa Tiatsa. LUXOR. Egypt. Dec 27.

For the first time in 3.277 years two objects of King Tutankhamen's tomb today emerged Into the sunlight on a stretcher carried by Arthur Mace of the New Tork Met ropolitan Museum of Art staff and A. I Lucas. Director of the Egyptian Gov- i ernnient's analytical laboratory and criminal Investigation expert. The first object brought out was a box which itself is a world treasure-1 and contains sevral unique and priceless antiquities which individually would attract crowds to any museum. Also each has a story to tell.

The box is about fourteen inches long-, twelve high and twelve deep, with a curved top. On one side. In exquisite inlay work, is shown the King leading the court at a lion hunt. The Kin has discharged two arrows at the nearest Hon one Is embedded In the neck and one near the nostrils. The King is ready to launch a third, and the lion has turned around in such a perfect attitude of rage, pain and royal mortification that one can almost hear his snarling- roar.

On the other side is shown tne court in full pursuit of fleeing antelope. The court artist's excellent work is referred to as the finest Egyptian decorative work extant. The tOD of the box Is eloquent to the student It depicts how the eighteenth dynasty artist, in order to attain as perfect realism as possible. had to sacrifice some stiffness which made the earlier Egyptian work, such as figures In other tombs, so dignified and majestic Messrs. Mace and Lucas this afternoon are busy preparing the flimsier contents of the box for handling.

A brief Investigation has revealed that the box contains the robes of the Queen, as referred to last week, slippers, sandals, ornate welry and a black amber necs lace. The latter is the most Interesting to the Americans, as black amber Is found only in districts where oil deposits hive oosed to the surface and the saturation or the oil gives It the black hue. It Is certain this amber came from an adjacent district, though possibly as far distant as the Red Sea. but more likely from Nubia, where perhaps rich oil fields await discovery. Thre are further objects in the box, but for the moment they are concealed under the articles already mentioned.

The second object brought out Is a beautfful. Urge alabaster vase, containing clthr wood pitch or, Mi Carter thinks, robnbly balm for the dead, such aa; the Magdalene used when washing the feet Christ. Mr. Csrter is of the opinion that this balm, which was the most precious in Palestine at the dawn of Christianity, was the same kind of balm used by the ancient Egyptians. He hopes the contents of the vase may be a specimen.

Owing to the necessity for the most delicate handling of the objects, the work of removal will be very long. It will probably be three weeks before all are removed. When Mr. Carter was sweeping the floor this morning he no ticed something shiny, and on Investigation discovered very small pieces of Jewelry and tiny precious stones, which he considers were dropped by ghouls when, during the reign of Horemhab. they rifled tlr tomb.

In fearful they evidently wrenched the Jewelry from the boxes ard some Af it broke and the pieces fell to the floor. Mr. Carter regards this as conclusive proof that the tomb W( rifled, which makes the Egyptian Government's statement that the tomb was unrlfled rather an arbitrary assumption. Mr. Carter this morning reverted to historical data obtatted from the tomb.

He explained thkt the discovery shows the reigns of Akhenaten and and Tutankhamen all together did not extend beyond twenty-five years. It Is also shown that Akhenaten reigned seventeen years and Tutankhamen seven years of that period. He thinks it Is now certain that In Amenkhakara and Aken-haten reigned as co-regents. Amenka-hara died first. Tutankhamen then relgroed with Akhenaten a co-regent, which necessitates the revision of history, as it formerly was assumed that Tutankhamen ascended the throne on Akhenatea's death.

It Is felt the historians are now obtaining data explaining why Tutankhamen returned to Thebes, abandoned the heretical faith and re-embraced the orthodox Amen religion, but the evidence is insufficient yet to prove this hypothesis. TOMB USED AS HIDINQ PLACE? Letters of Tutankhamen's Widow Perhaps a Clue to Treasure. Cojrrlht. 15. by Tha Naw Tork Tlnss CMapany.

Special Cable to Tub New Tosk Timm LONDO.V. Dec. 27. Further light Is thrown upon the mystery of Tutankhamen and his tomb by a series of letters to be published this week in "Ancient Egypt." part under the editorship of Irofessor Flinders Petrle. These letters were discovered at Bog-has and have Just been published by the Horlin Museum.

One of them is from Ankhnesamen. widow of Tutankhamen, who was then 21). appealing to the Illtllto King for a son of his to marry her and become King of Egypt. The professor Hays in a footnote: "This shows 'that Ankhnesamen was r.ot unreachable In wishing to Imitate the earlier alliances of Egyptian loyal- ties with the northern powers." The reaion for the widowed Queen's appeal Is set forth in the letter: My hut band is dead. I have no children.

Your sons are said to be grown up. ii to me one or your sons you rive and if he will be my husband, he will be a help. Send him accordingly and I will make him my husband. I send bridal gifts." There wis eviadently some confusion or mistrust in the inond of the Hlttlte King for he sent his Secretary to EarvDt. enjolning "a true report," adding: "do; ou oring oaca wny nas written the etter to me and as to the son of their ruler, what is become of Ankhnesamen then repated her request, explaining that her husband was dead and thai she bad no son and adding So to me on of your sons f've, and he as my husband in the land of Egypt shall be King." The bargain was duly carried out, and the lady selected a son of the Hlttite King aa her mate.

Teh bearing of this little piece of documentary evidence on the recent finds at Luxor." said Professor Petrle to a Dally News man, is. to my mind, that it supplies a clue to the mystery of the extraordinary richness and variety of the finds. What probably happened was that when the stranger, a Hittite. came to rule over the lanu. all the royal treasures were piled Into Tutankhamen's tomb, so that they might not fall in their entirety into the hands of the stranger."
