THE SMALLEST THING

WE used to think that about the
~ smallest thing in the world
was an atom of hydrogen. In fact,
it was taken as the unit by which
the atomic weight of all metals was
expressed For instance, the small
est possible division of the metal
lead was found to be two hundred
and six times that Of hydrogen,
gold one hundred and ninety-six
times, etc.
Hand in hand, however, with the
modern conception of the nature of
the electric current, has come a new
conception of infinitude in small
things. Now, they say, the smallest
thing in the world divisible BY the
hand of man is the electric ion. This
IS the Individual unit of electricity,
the moving part of a current when
It passes through wire. 1t is SO
small that it can run through cop
per bar at speed of one hundred
and cighty-six thousand miles sec
ond without turning corners. Elec-
trio ions trickle through copper
wire in much the same way as grains
OF sand through sieve. Scientists,
armed with instruments consider
ably finer than grocery store scales,
have isolated and measured them,
and found that their relation to that
lishtest of all gases, hydrogen, is as
one to the seventeenth power of ten,
or. in other words, the fraction repre-
senting their relation to an atom of
hydrogen is expressed by million
million millionth.
