PROFESSOR MILl|KAN

of Diagrams and Photographs

Some Properties of the Eiectron"
was the subject OF Professor r. A..
Millikan's second and final lecture
given at Richmond College Tuesday
afternoon under the auspices of the
Thomas Lecture Course" AS on
Monday, a good sized audience was
phesent to hear the noted University
of Chicago physicist speak.
The lecture Monday afternoon on
Tho New Physics' dealt primarily
with the results obtained from the
modern experiments and methods OF
treating physical phenomena. while
Tuesdays address was concerned
with the experiments and methods
themselves, especially with regard to
experiments on electrons.
With the use OF diagrams and pho
ltographs projected on a screen, Pro-
fessor M,llikan explained In detail
several experiments concerning cleo
irons. which he himself had perform
ed with great success. and told how
from these experiments some of the
known properties of the minute cleo
tron were determined.
An Interesting Experiment.
I He explained how he had detected
the presence of positive and mega
tive ions by observings the variations
In speed OF droplet Of clock oil sus-
pended between two electrically
charged metal plates. The descrip-
ton of this experiment was accom-
panied by clear diagram, which
helped greatly in the understanding
OF IT,
The professor then showed an ex-
pertinent by which X-ray ether
waves elected electrons from atoms.
This experiment proved most inter-
esting.
In order TO present the minuteness
of the eiectrons to his audience In a
tangible form. DR.. Millikan used the
following illustration: II every per
son In the city OF Richmond. tax
ing It's population at 10000 were to
begin counting at the rate OF
Ave Second and continue
counting twenty-four hours day
without stopping to eat. sleep or die,
lit would take 1870 years for them
to count the number of electrons
that passes through an ordinary IN
candescent lamp bulb in one second
This statement is almost inconcelv-
able. yet II has been proven true by
recent experiments.
The address Tuesday afternoon
was more technical than that on the
preceding day and required a greater
knowledge of physics TO fully appre-
ciate 1t.

DRAW LINES ON AUTOS.
Ordinance Prohibits Making Street
Open-Air Garage.

The Rogers ordinance prohibiting
the parking of automobiles on Main
Street, between Eighth and Twelfth.
was put into force yesterday by the
police. Under this law no auto
mobile may be allowed to be left
standing IN the street longer than half
an hour. Already several owners Of
automobiles have been reported and
cited to court.
The ordinance was fathered by
Councilman George w. Rogers, of
Fulton. when he found that the cars
were practically converting the BUSH
est section of Main Street into an
open-air garage during the business
hours of the day. Several business
men left their cars IN the street after
driving down in the morning, and they
were allowed TO remain there until
evening.

Determined to leave no stone I'M

in Virginia. the State Department of
Public instruction Is now arranging
for the establishment of number
OF vacation or summer schools IN
isolated sections of Virginia These
schools will be designed primarily to
reach people who have heretofore
had no educational advantages, and
they will be opened to adults as we'll
as to children.

account OF the limited funds at his
disposal. will not be in a position to
answer the call OF all ncigl borhoods

10 open at least ten or fifteen sum-
mer schools
He has sent to each OF the division
superintendents OF the State let
ter outlining his plan and asking
their cooperation and advice. In
this circular Superintendent Stearnes
makes 1t plain that he has no money
TO spare and that the efforts OF the
department must therefore, be con-
fined to the localities most in need.
For this reason he asks full data as
to educational conditions in com

desired, ana especially requests In
formation as to the number of chill
dren without school advantages and
the percentage OF adult illiterates

and j. Fl. Binford will represent the
department in this work---will ad-

and personally inspect these schools.
II firmly believe" says Mr.
Stearnes In his letter to the division
superintendents, that the establish
ment of such schools in remote and
educationally destitute sections of the
State would he a distinct feature OF
our campaign against illiteracy In

STEEL sP0KEs LIKED

THOSE OF WOOD.
For Ono Thing, It Is Claimed, They
Are Much Lighter Than the
Wooden Wheel.

Many of the cars abroad are
equipped with wire-spoked wheels,
and steel pressed spokes are finding
favor abroad as well. Steel spokes
were used in this country years ago
and now are again finding favor. 1t
is shown that the pressed steel wheel
is much lighter than the wooden
wheel because Of the absence of a
felloe, the detachable rim being bolted
directly to the spokes. In this only a
common clincher tire need be carried
as a spare, and this, too, will reduce
the weight to be carried on the tire

complete will weigh not over two
thirds as much as that of wood

This is of itself an important factor,
for the weight OF wheel is important

car and life of the tire.
The spokes and hub are hollow and
the parts are practically made one
