Yale Scientists Make What Appears
to be Most Important Discovery.

Yale Scientists Make What Appears
to be Most Important Discovery.
New Haven, Conn, June 17-Yale
scientists have found the first signs
of radio activity ever discovered in
America. For two months DR.. Lynde
Wheeler and DR.. H. A. Bumstead of
Sheffield scientific school, have been
conducting original Investigations
along the lines suggested by Professor
J. j. Thompson of England, the most
eminent physicist in the world, and
they have found what appears like a
discovery not even made by the great
Cambridge scientist in his Own
laboratory They are confident they
have shown that the presence of
radio activity can be demonstrated in
surfaced water, as least, in some parts
of America.
Repeated experiments performed by
Drs. Wheeler and Bumstead at Yale,
with matter taken from the city sup
ply at Lake Whitney, show the radio
activity.
Professor Thompson tried re
peatedly TO secure similar results
from the water of England, on differ
ent parts Of the island, without sue
cess. He found it in quantities taken
from unusually deep wells and
through chalk. When he came 10
Yale to deliver the SiIliman lectures
recently, he was enthusiastic over his
experiments, which indicate force so
powerful that Professor Thompson
expressed the opinion that the coal
mines of the world may not be need
ed for either heat or energy if the
new element, Tadium, can be utilized,
as seems a possibility if theories now
being developed are perfected.
