Such heart breaking pace was set
in each event that the Chickasha en-

very attractive to the entries in many

RADIUM RAYS.
Their Velocity the Highest Known
Speed Of Matter In Motion.

Their Velocity the Highest Known
Speed Of Matter In Motion.
The earth travels in it's orbit round
the sun nineteen miles a second. The
sun itself, like all the other stars, has
its own proper motion through space.
Some authorities have calculated its
speed at twelve miles a second. A
few stars move more slowly than this,
others much more rapidly. Arcturus
maintains a speed of not less than 100
miles a second. and the star called
"Groombridge 1880" travels $50 miles
In the same brief time.
But the speeds Of the heavenly bod.
les are slow compared with the mo-
lions of the tiDiest known particles OF
matter. The sun would seem TO stand
still could we compare its velocity with
that of the radium rays" These ra-
diations are produced by successive ex-
plosions of tiny groups Of the tiny
atoms Of radium. The alpha rays"
being themselves inGnitesimal frag.
ments Of matter. are thrown out With
q velocity Of perhaps 1900 miles
second. The beta rays" travel still
faster.
In the emanations Of this wonderful
radium we find the highest known
speed of matter in motion At 1900
miles a second it would take little
more than two seconds for particle
Of matter TO travel all the way round
the earth. Look at your watch and
note the duration Of two seconds; then
imagine that IN a chariot drawn by
alpha rays" you have been round the
world. There IS hardly time in two
seconds for you 10 think the journey.

ever. IL not the speed Of matter. bat

which we call light And light tray.

DEATH BY FALLING.

Pain and Fear Seem to Have No Place

1t is difficult TO imagine a more hor-
rible, accident than falling with an
airship, yet in the opinion OF a Ger
man psychologist, Fritz Kahn, death
resulting from such a fall is not ex-
cepnonally painful, says the New
York Evening Post He argues that
It is likely to be met In a state 81 IN

conscious condition OF mind. He wit

remained fully conscious when he fell
on the Mattefhorn. Bounding from
rock to rock, he calculated the inter
walls between the shocks, wondered
how long he could stand it felt no
pain and came % the conclusion that
death through q fall must be one OF
the least diHGgreeabie ways of ending
ones life. A boy Of eight who fell
twenty-five yards declared that his
only thought was that he might lose

At a meeting Of the Swiss Alpine
club the geoioEist Helm described his

thought was that now he would be
unable to deliver the address he hid

death. He wanted to take OF his spec

damaged by broken glass. Various
scenes from his past life fitted across
his consciousness in rapid succession
