Stephenson. United States navy, for APP
pointment as second lieutenant in the

Mcclellan.
The desire of Midshipman Stephenson,
who is a Lincoln boy, recently graduated
from the Ava academy. to enter the army
even after having been educated for the
navy. Is accounted for from the fact OF
his approaching marriage. A recent order
Of the secretary Of the navay prohibiting
the marriage of midshipmen until after
two years Of service following their
graduation. accounts for Midshipman
Stephenson's wishes to transfer his al
~legiance from the navy to the army.

'Christianity.''

OMAHA, Neb., June 23-To the editor
Of The Bee: Now we have "Christendom"
by Ole Munich.
Truly. in these days OF reform move
ments 1t would be a good thing for the
churches to unite in a resolve to practice
Biblical Christianity insofar as II would be
compatible with present conditions.
Who is there who can honestly say that
Christianity, as we find 1t in the Bible.
has ever been practiced, that is. by so
large a number of persons as would be
sure to attract attention.? Only a few
weeks ago, in listening to a sermon by one
OF our leading ministers. heard him
make reference in a scornful and con-
temptuous q to out-cast men and
women, and then before my mental vision
there was the wide divide mat lies between
the gentle Nazarene and the many who
pretend to follow in his footsteps. Naught
but %pardoning pity. the go-thou-and-sln-no-
more feeling ever welled up in the heart
OF the s~oft-eyed Nazarene when He con-
templated the errlng and the unfortunate.
As for divorce, most of us agree that II
should be the last resort IN domestic in
felicity, but this is no argument against
It. There was never an institution that
had not some abuses: That OF marriage is
no exception; hence we ave divorce as a
remedy.
Woman is mans equal, therefore she
should rave suffrage and fair competition
as a wage-earner.
Point out the man OF moderate income
who can support his wife, daughters,
mother, sisters and mOther-in-law He
never has and never will.
Mr.. Munich says that man should rule
over woman after Moses law, and yet Re
would have us believe that he advocates
Biblical morality. He overlooks the fact
that Moses views Of morality we're totally
different from those entertained by ethical
students of to-day. Moses was anything
but moral in the sense in which that word
is now employed. His order to his soldiers

President Lovett of the Union

est II the commercial affairs of this
city, there is still wide opportunity for
improvement, and If the new president
really means to be a railroad man and
run a railroad, he has a fine chance to
do something that will help.

a spirit of impotence, but in the be-
lief that both of these presidents are
sincere in what they say.

The Corn Show.

The great corn exposition, which
opens to the public in Omaha tomor-
row. is national in it's scope. It is
more than that. II Is worldwide, for
its effects must eventually touch all
humanity.
The object Of this exposition is pri-
marily the comparison Of results and
the discussion Of methods. Il brings
together the thoughtful, earnest, active
men of agriculture, whose work in life
is literally to make two blades of grass
grow where one grew before. These
men are the combination of student
and dream err crossed with the hard
headed, practical man Of business.
Their thoughts are bent in the one di-
rection, that of improving the general
quality Of the agricultural output of
the word. The Importance of this
work cannot be exaggerated. Its prac-
tical benefit has already been deter
mined on the farms of the United
States, and each recurring season
brings new proof of the wisdom of
the agricultural experiment station.
New corn. new grass, new animals are
placed at the farmers disposal and
from these new types new crops are
raised. The greater annual acreage out
put of the western farmer is the ensure
ment due to the efforts OF the patient
investigator at the experiment station.
The wealth annually added through
this source is enormous, and the pub
lie benefit is so direct as to call for
neither emphasis or argument.
The great corn exposition, which has
come to it's present measure of success
through the efforts of Omaha people,
is a splendid expression of the scien-
tific thought of the times. It's success
means wealth added to the material
prosperity of the world, and with
added wealth must necessarily come
increased social advantages. In every
aspect the corn exposition is an evil
dence of growth in the right direction,
and its support and success is an indi-
cation that the people are aware Of it's
great possibilities and it's immediate
benefit.

Barely eleven years have elapsed
since the wonders of radium became
known to man through a woman's dis
covery, yet in that little while an en-
tirely new realm of science has been
opened up, with a promise to solve that
which has vexed those looking far into
the future-the problem where man is
to obtain his energy for the work of
the world. Civilization is developing
more energy than ever, but it is using
more, and steadily the known forces
of nature are being, depleted, particu-
larly the most familiar source of en-
ergy, coal. There have been those who
deserted in the return to the utilization
of waterfalls the solution Of what we
should do for heat and light when
coal and oil should be exhausted, but it
has not yet been assured that the
streams of earth are sufficient to de-
velop all the electricity the workshops,
public utilities and homes need.
May it not be that mans previous
ignorance of the radio-activity of such
elements as radium has been natures
own conservation of resources? During
the history of the human race failure,
or abandonment of one source of en-
ergy has been the stepping stone to
another. in a long series Of progress
siuns. The little knowledge that has
just come to us of the radio-activity of
certain substances may be the dawning
OF the day of limitless possibilities.
In the pursuit of the study of radio
activity, the scientist has accomplished
a revolutionary feat, the dissection Of
the atom 1t has been disclosed that
radio-aetiyity is the explosion Of the
atom, and the Crookes sp~intharscope
reveals the popping of the atoms like
a bOmbardment of shooting stars, Thus
the human eye is at last able to see the
atom, In flight, at q speed, not only
vastly exceeding that of our swiftest
projectile, but actually greater than
the known velocity Of the celestial
bodies through space.
The enormous energy thus indicated
by these exploding atoms, each in
dividual of which works with such a
regularity as would indicate the exist
enoe of an infinitesimal time clock CON
cealed within, has already been util-
ICED in a degree, convincing man of
the tremendous force which is at his
command whenever he can control il.

South Americas Awakening.

What was accomplished in the
United States as a result of the open
ing of the transcontinental railroad
line may be expected to follow the OPP
Grafton of the first steam road across
South America, now nearing compile
ton. The problem there has been
greater than here, for the southern
continent was divided by a mountain
range loftier and more impossible than
any in North America.
The right hand of South America
may truly be said not to have known
what the left hand has been doing and
a strange diversity Of interests has
been the result. The one coast has
developed mining, the other agrieul-
ture, and each in its own way has
known a considerable prosperity.
The marked individuality of the sop
arate nations of republics of South
America has been well pointed out by
DR.. Francis e. Clark, newly returned
from a study of the southern continent,
and he records impressions which tend
to show that each political division is
so emphasized in its peculiarities that
1t is bound to maintain Its separate in
tegrity.
Not only do the Spanish-speaking
republics differ vastly from Portu-
guese Brazil, but they d~ifferentiate
widely from one another, and, as Dr.,
Clark says, 1t is as inaccurate to lump
Peru and Venezuela or Chile and Co
lombia as 1t is to consider Mexico and

rHE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 5, 1909.

It has been accurately demonstrated,
according to Prof. Frederick soddy Of
the University of Glasgow that a
pound Of radium will yield an energy
100000 times greater than the COM
bustion Of an equal weight Of coal.
But the difficulty is to nberate this
energy, In the natural course Of things.
$500 years would pass before the
pound Of radium would exhaust itself.
The radio-activity of uranium is even
slower than that Of radium. but it will
last, according to Prof. Soddy, many
millions times as long. Uranium and
thorium, elements whose compounds
are manufactured commercially by the
ton at the present time, imprison
energy many hundred times greater
than is obtainable from the same
amount OF coal. AS the Glasgow sa-
want says, we could drive a Mauritania
around the world by the force con
tanned in a pint bottle, But the slow
with which the energy is devel-
oped battles the human mind.
The problem that confronts man,
therefore, is to accelerate this natural
rate of evolution; when he can do that,
he can extract from the elements Of
the earth energy to drive the work of
the world for untold ages to come.
