Discovery OF the Atom
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY

1t was one hundred and eight years
ago that John Dalton, the English
Quaker, wrote the letter TO his brother
in the course OF which he informed
him that he had got into a track
that has not been much trod In be-
Tore. That track" led him. a little
later. TO the point where he was able
TO announce TO the world the atomic
theory of chemistry--a theory which
linked together and reduced to order
and simplicity the previously dlscop-
nected and unexplained phenomena OF
chemical combinations.
The very first human being, go far
as we know, TO talk Of atoms was the
old Greek philosopher Democritus. who
lived some four hundred years before
Christ. Democritus taught the doc
trlne that all things We're composed Of
Invisible. Intangible and indivisihle
particles. which, by reason of varia-
ton in their conhguration, comblna-
ton or position, gave rise to the va
riety Of forms. The atoms. Democri-
tus affirmed. were self existent and
eternal
atom" means the body which can
not be cut in two and the atomic
theory is, therefore. the opposite OF
the theory of the infinite divisibility OF
matter.
In the atom we have the pioneer
fact. the absolutely FIRST settler" in
the universe the oldest inha bitant'
the atom We have something which
has existed either from eternity or nt
least from time anterior To the exist
ing order OF nature. II the atom ever
had a beginning IL must be referred
10 the epoch, not OF the formation OF
the earth or the solar system. but OF
the establishments OF the embryonic
order out OF which earth. sun and
stars were slowly TO emerge.
Bat what Is this atom. this pionecr
stuff. out OF the magic potentialty
Of which all forms are reached?
The question cannot be answered
We only know that n is not very
ponderous In bulk Those who claim
To speak with authority on the sub
ject tell MS that the smallest organ
ized particle visible under the micro
scope contains more than two mil
lions Of these atoms. They tell us,
furthermore. that two hundred mil
lion million million Of them would
weigh ,nilllgrammei
