The Weight of an ATOM

~ ECENT scientific researches have APP
* parently not only proved the actual
existence of indivisibe particles, but
have actually succeeded in weighing them.
This wonderful result has been accomplished
almost simultaneously by two physicists
Professors Perrin, of the University of Paris,
and Millikan, of the University of Chicago
Professor Perrin arrived at the discovery
by a study of the so-caed Brownian move
ments Of minute particles, the nature of which
had not previously been understood. He con.
ceived the idea that the curious dancing and
twinkling of minute particles seen in emui-
sions under a microscope are due to the
bombardment of the visible particles by invis-
ible PARTICLES or atoms. BY applying well
known laws of physics to the problem he was

How Bitter MEDICINE Is DISGUISED as CANDY

IN view Of the admitted fact that considerable pro-
portion of the for the success of homeopathy
- has been the with which it's remedies can
be swallowed, the allopath regular" school of
medicine has been experimenting on the various drugs
which can be given in the form of candy 1t has
been found that very large proportion the most
important medicines be put up chocolate drops
fondants and iujubes of every description
One of the principal difficulties was encountered
in the use of some of the metallic drugs Many people
have gold filings, platinum filings in their teeth
and some of the candy containing such matters as
reduced iron set up electric current as soon as
they come in contact with the metal in the teeth The
codliveroil chocolate cream is recorded also as one

are many ways of telling the point of physical de-
velopment which child has reached but by far the
best is the X-ray. The whole body is dependent on
the skeleton and the bones tell the story of rapid or
delayed growth The bones of the wrist for ex.

carpal bones slow in coming; there is quite a
space of time after the appearance of the first two
before the third appears and another gap before the
fourth and before the fifth After that the changes
form and the massng of these bones reveal each
stage of bone development least until fifteen years
of age.
In the investigation of school children by this
X-ray method, some sad conditions we're found Many
children whose school lives had been most unhappy
were found to be of slow development and they had
all their schooldays been expected to do the work of
those really two three years older. Others
again. well developed were kept back and hndered in
every way though the work they doing was so
much below their powers that it had interest.

miles the number of years that thew wait between

100000 miles-the distance across the earh's orbit
The result has been the recognition of proper motions
OF the stars as distinguished from the apparent motions
that are due to our own fight through space
"A remarkably interesting phenomenon of two great
drifts OF stars moving opposite directions has recently
been discovered About 10000 stars dealt with in

form. The white OF the eggs are a great deaS
like gelatin and the germs thrive and multiply
rapidly in it.
For this reason housekeepers should avoid
buying cracked or broken eggs, no matter
how fresh they may be. Housekeepers
frequently buy broken fresh eggs and use
them for cooking. For a long time 1t has
been held that these eggs were quite as good
as the whole ones, except that they cannot
be boiled. Consequently they are boughs
and used for cakes and other cooking ana
also for frying, scrambling and in other
forms.
But this is dangerous thing to do. No
one can tell just how the eggs became
broken or under what circumstances they
were handled and what the dangers are.
The whole eggs are, of course, quite safe,
as no microbes have had opportunity to
reach the inside of the shells and when
they are boiled the danger is done away
with.

Chronologc age is the very basis that could
be thought of by which to grade children in schools
indeed to compare them in every way The first and
most important point is to determine how old child

number of summers and winters he has seen. Then

not have upon her conscience the grievous question
as to whether school life is njurng the children in her

T first glance it seems almost impos'
~ sible that there could be microbes in
4 n strictly fresh eggs, yet this is not only
quite possible, but it frequently happens.
There is always a condition attached to
this state of affairs, however, and that is
that the fresh egg must be cracked and the
tough skin that enyelops the egg must also
be torn.
fresh clean egg is sterile The bacteria
that are present in broken or cracked eggs,
in commercial dirty" eggs, in disiccated
eggs, and in frozen eggs, get into the product
from nest dirt on the outside of the egg or
from the air during breaking of the eggs, in
the process of dsiccation, or from the hands
Of those who break the eggs. When an egg
is what is termed dirty" and when it is
cracked so that the membrane is also broken,
then colon bacilli may gain access to the
egg Or If dirty eggs are broken carelessly,
or if the hands of those who break them are
not clean, then colonies of microbes soon

Killing Insects

similar things are done on a large scale
In the great Western orchards the destruc-
tive insects are also there, or getting there, in

Why SCHOOL CHILDREN Should Be Graded BY the X-RAY

81 children do not develop at the same rates
- Tor age). Schoolgrading is based develop
a ment: therefore,
Schoolgradng cannot be based upon the rate OF
growth (or age).
sylogism of this character lies behind a most
important statement made by Professor Rotch of the
Harvard Medical School, in which he points out the
injustice of grading children at school by their ages
Ten boys and girls of ten years age are never
equally developed; mature than Others
some have better physical frame. 1t can be shown
concusively, that at the age of ten some children
have advanced so far beyond others IN physical de-
velopment that they are fully mature the aver
age child of twelve and that others have Jagged be-
hind much that their development is that of the
average child of eight Here then the age of ten
years, is possible difference of four years which is
equivalent to pittng the child of ten against
the average child of six years of age
The most important thing for a child is physical
growth 1t is by this that he should be judged There
