For example, as you know, the metal radium is constantly giving off little particles which are called electrons.

The electron is infinitely smaller than the atom. Indeed, the atom is a comparatively big proposition, a sort of universe with lots of electrons flying around inside it. Of course, neither the electron nor the atom can be seen by any instruments which we have yet devised. But listen to this The scientists in that laboratory have rigged up a radio apparatus, attached to a loud speaker, which is so delicate it can detect the flight of electrons through the ether. I held the dial of my wrist watch against the microphone.

The figures on the dial are radium coated. And I could hear the electrons pounding into the loud speaker like a shower of hailstones on a tin roof. On another floor I sat in front of a motion picture screen and saw talking movies of three great scientists of England, Sir Ernest Rutherford, Sir William Henry Bragg, and Sir Oliver Lodge. Each one of them was photographed in his own laboratory. Each proceeded to perform certain experiments and explain them.

It was thrilling to sit in the living presence of such men and to think how valuable those pictures will be to future generations. Suppose there had been a talking movie ef Archimedes demonstrating the lever, or of Newton explaining the discovery of gravitation But what stirred me most was not the experiments which these men performed but the spirit of their talk. Sir Oliver Lodge, for example, picked up a little weight from his laboratory table and let it drop with a thud. "That experiment," he "is the simplest that one could possibly perform and yet there is hardly an experiment about which we know less than we do about that." And, he added, "You are not to suppose that you understand things because you call them names." He proceeded to talk about the mysterious properties of "empty space," and he concluded with this paragraph. "If ever we find, as I think we are beginning to find, that life and mind need not be associated with matter but can inhabit empty space, then life will not be subject to the troubles of a material organism and existence "Arill be perpetual." As contrasted with many of our smartest wise-crackers who know everything, these wise men of science admitted frankly that we are only on the furthermost borderland of knowledge.

Only 2,096 birds were purchased in 1915, and with 262,355 sportsmen afield during that same year, 796 pheasants were killed.

By 1920 when 4,062 pheasants were purchased and released, 432,240 sportsmen were afield and 23,000 birds were killed. During 1929 slightly over 9,000 birds were released, the majority of which were raised at the game farms, and by refuge keepers and During that year, 504,748 hunters were afield, and killed pheasants, all of which were See the 10 Point Frigio'aire finished in lustrous Porcelam-on-sfeel!

Associated Gas and Electric THE BLUE AND THE GRAY By Francis Miles Finch By the flow of the inland river, Whence "the fleets of iron have fled, Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver Asleep are the ranks of the dead Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day, Under the one, the Blue; Under the other, the Gray. From the silence of sorrowful hours The desolate mourners go, Lovingly laden with flowers, Alike for the friend and the foe: Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day: Under the roses, the Blue; Under the lilies, the Gray.

So, with an equal splendor The morning sun-rays fall, With a touch impartially tender, On the blossoms blooming for all Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day Broidered with gold, the Blue; Mellowed with gold, the Gray. So, when the summer calleth On forest and field of grain, With an equal murmur falleth The cooling drip of the rain Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day: Wet with the rain, the Blue; Wet with the rain, the Gray. No more shall the war-cry sever, Or the winding rivers be red They banish our anger forever When they laurel the graves of our dead Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day: Love and tears for the Blue Tears and love for the Gray.
