PROFESSOR MILlIkEN
IS MOST ENTERTAINING
PROPERTIES OF THE ELECTION
Head of the Department of Physics
Of the University Of Chicago Tells
of the Wonder of Modern Discov-
cries in His Field of EFFORT.

Professor Robert Andrews Milliken,
head of the department Of physics of
the University Of Chicago, yesterday
Thomas Lectures" given at Rich
mond College this session, to q large
and interested audience. He took as
his subject, The New Physics" and
treated 1t In a scientific but easily un-
derstood manner
Professor Miiliken began with a
sketch of the history of physics, taking
first the ancient conception of physical
phenomena and then the more recent
conceptions. He told of how the old
physics were treated subjectively by
the ancient scientiest. and how the sub
jective treatment has given away to
the objective or experimental methods
now employed the world over
The New Physics as explained by
him. was that which was concerned
with the physical properties OF atoms
and molecules and these properties had
been discovered and formulated rs a
result of the recent discovery OF ra-
dunn and the influence OF radioactivity.
The cause of our inability to see
these minute atoms and molecules, he
said, Is due to the nature of the light
TO which our optical nerves are sensi-
ttNcs we SdhhOk pClSCiNC
them with our physical eye. we per-
cefve them with our mental eye as
certain known physical facts lead
US to deduct their presence.
An Apt Illustration.
BY way OF illustration he supposed
the air in the room magntfied one
hundred thousand times. If this were
done we would then be able to see the
different kinds of atoms that COM
pose the air in the shape of footballs
and dumbbeils shooting about at the
speed of one mile per second. and
that they would travel a comparatively
lbng distance before coliiding with
another particle and changing it's
course.
The Fundamental Principle.
The fundamental principle OF radio
activity is that the atoms of the ele-
ments are slowly changing and re-
combining In different ways TO form
other elements Helium. he continued.
lH. so far as known. the fundamental
element. A helium atom can shoot
through air at tremendous speed. and
even pierce a thin >glsss wall without
making a hole in il.
Professor Miliken then discussed
rapidly the various properties OF the
eiectron, the fundamental electric cor
pusle, OF which all electric charges are
a component. However, he will take
up that phase of the subject in more
detail this afternoon when he will
speak on The Properties OF the Elec-
iron" The lecture will begin at 8
o'clock.
Or. Milliken has clear, strong
voice. effective delivery. and he
puts in a humorous touch now and then
to furnish a moments relief to his
audience.
This, the thirty seventh Thomas lee
ture course. is the first to be held at
the new college. The addresses are
free to the public. and all those who
journey out to hear Professor Miiiken
in his Anal lecture this afternoon are
surely to be doubly repaid.

 Why not fill up your cup of damna- tion, noble warriors? Organize a cholera corps to go die in the foes camp and spread ruin.
 Then there is the bubonic plague, there is smallpox, and doubtless enough lepers could be impressed to do effective glorious work for God and the king.

 And, by the way, why not use the women? They can shoot guns, carry ammunition, and kill generally, and whenever they have had a chance to fight they have been fiercer than males.

 Why should you stop anywhere in your insane diabolism? You sheer at sentiment. You ruthlessly sacrifice 10000 lives to gain a strategic advan- tage!

MEAT BONES.
Many Ways In Which They May es

Many Ways In Which They May es
 Utilized as Nourishins Food.
 One of the food experts of the United States department of agriculture says that almost any meat bones can be used in soupmaking and if the meat is not all removed from them the soup is better. But some bones. especially the rib bones, if they have little meat left on them. can be grilled or roasted into very palatable dishes.
 The "sparerib" of southern cooks is made of the rib bones from a roast of pork and makes a favorite dish when we'll Drowned. The praised ribs of beef often served in high class restaurants are made from the bones cut from rib roasts. In this connection it may be noted that many of the dishes popular in good hotels are made of portions of meat such as are frequently thrown away in private houses. but which with proper cooking and seasoning make attractive dishes and give most acceptable variety to the menu.
 An old recipe for "broiled bones'' di- rects that the bones (beef ribs or sir loin bones on which the meat is not left too thick in any part) be sprinkled with salt and pepper 'cayenne| and broiled over clear fire until Drowned. Another example of the use of bones is boiled marrowbone. The bones are cut in convenient lengths. the ends GOV cred with little piece of dough over which a f1oured cloth is tied and cooked in boiling water for two hours. After removing the cloth and dough the bones are placed upright on toast and served. Prepared as above. the bones may also be baked in deep dish. Marrow is sometimes removed from bones after cooking and seasoned and served on toast.-Pittsburgh Press.

How He Looked.

One summer when William M. Ev- arts was at his country home in Wind sor. Vt.. a farmer who had followed his political career in the newspapers for many years was extremely anxious to see him in the flesh and drove eight cen miles into town in order to catch q glimpse of his idol.
 Senator Evarts at that time was be ing entertained constantly, dining out almost every night. and us he drove out of his grounds to an appointment one evening the farmer was lying in wait for him in the road. The latter, seeing the pale, ascetic face and mea- ger form of the famous statesman, was disappointed.

Every tenth Briton has enlisted. Every tenth Frenchman is at the front. Every tenth Belgian is dead. What does the United States know of trouble?
 If 1 could afford it I would charter the Mauretania and Lusitania and convey a party of 5000 American ad- vertisers to Europe for trip of edu- cation. I would give them week in London, a week in Paris and a week in Antwerp.
 I would let them look at the United States from the scene of war. l would give them look at real trou- ble. would let them see trains, ten at time, five minutes apart, packed with the maimed and the dying.
 I would let them hear, from frag- mentary survivors, the incredible story of battlefelds 150 miles wide and armies that are greater than the entire population of Texas.
 would let them see graves 100 yards long and full, and Belgium, the country that was, nothing now but 12,OO0 square miles of wreckage.
 Then, when they began to under stand, 70 some slight extent, the mag nitude and the awfulness of the war, I would say to them:
 Now, go back and appreciate the United States Realize your opportun- ities. Don't start digging trenches when nobody is firing at you. Don't fall down when you have not been hit Don't be blind to the most glor- ious chance you ever had in your life.
 GO back and advertise. Get req ly for the most tremendous business boom that any nation ever had. Build your factories bigger. Train more salesmen. Borrow more money. Go ahead, and thank God that you are alive and that your family is alive, and that you are living in a land that is at peace, at time when nea . ly the whole world $ at ar."-As- sociated Advertiser.

THE ART OF MUSIC.
Ono Must Thoroughly Understand 1t to

Really Enjoy 1t.
 Berlioz says: Music is the art of moving. by systematic combination of sounds, the affections of intelligent, receptive and cultivated beings"
 Weber states: Music is to the arts what love is to man. In truth, it is love itself; the purest, loftiest language of passion. portraying it in thousand shades of color and feeling"
 Ruskin declares: Music is the first. the simplest, the most effective of all instruments of moral instruction"
 Have you ever thought what deso- late place the world would be without music? Have you ever realized that the entire civilized world now looks upon music as one of the great essen- tials in the education of the cultured man and woman?
 Few persons know that the greatest delight of music comes through the un- derstanding of it. The highest in mu- sic is not revealed to the student until the student has earned the right to en- joy it. With the right once earned the student has a wonderful power at his command. power with which he can carry his listeners to the height of joy or to the depth of sadness. With mu- sic it is possible to exercise control over all the emotions of man.-Alfred Edward Prediction. IT,. in New York Tribune.

Lilies Vain Plea for Food.
 PARIS, Jan. 9.-To the many oth- CT horrors which the German inva- sion has brought to the inhabitants of Lille is now to be added that Of famine. The citizens of the northern fortress town, which has been in the possession of the Germans for some months, are now destitute of food and fuel, and the city has already paid an enormous war tax to the invad- CTS. It's textile industries have been ruined and 1,2OO of it's houses have been destroyed.
 M Charles De la Sale, the heroic mayor of Lille, who has remained at his post throughout, in an eloquent letter recently addressed to Gen. von Heindrich, the German commander, pleaded for relief for his starving fellow citizens. In reply Gen. von Heindrich set out to show that if the Lille women and children lacked bread, England, and not Germany, was to blame. Germany herself, add ed the commander of Lille, possess ed sufficient resources for her army and her civilian population and Eng land, in attempting to prevent the arrival of overseas produce, with the view of starving out Germany, was only inficting suffering upon inhab!- tants of the occupied towns of France and Belgium. The starving popula- tion, he said, would have to put up with the consequences for the Ger man government could not undertake the feeding of the French and Bel gian civilians under it's jurisdiction as long as England closed the seas to the importation of foodstuffs.
 Having delivered himself thus Gen. von Heindrich told the Mayor of Lille that he had better apply for assist ance to the Swiss government, pronl- ising that the German government would support the request to the u+- most of its power. If the mayor re- fused to seek help from the Swiss government then as far as the Ger man commandant of Lille was con- cerned the people of that city were free to starve.

eows and Arrows Were Used In Battle
 Up to a Century Ago.
 We think of the bow and arrow as medieval weapons of war abandoned by the nations of Europe four or five centuries ago. The bowmen of Crecy are the last of any prominence in Eng fish history. Yet 1t is only about 100 years since soldiers fought with bows and arrows in European wars. and that, too, on the fields of southern Bel gium.
 It was in 1913, when all Europe was armed against Napoleon. Every one of the allied nations brought every possi- ble resource of men and means to fur ther this end. Among them was Rus- sia. To the war she sent soldiers from the newly conquered tribes that dwelt upon the steppes of Asia-Bokharan and Turkomans and Tartars and other half savage peoples. Many of these regiments were armed with bows and a,rows.
 Jomini, the military historian. speaks of great number of these that fought side by side with the Prussians in eastern Germany and in Belgium, and he says that these bowmen held their own against the French infantry. Their aim. he says, was surprisingly good, and they could shoot an arrow with effect almost as far as musket ball was effective. but in those days that was not much more than 100 yards.-Exchange.

Vet Java, With It's Amazing Crops, Hardly Pays the Dutch.
 Java has a population of more than 4O,OOO.OOO. It is a Dutch possession and the richest island on earth" says man who has spent most of his life there. "The governor general has nine palaces in different parts of the island and a regiment of soldiers to escort
 him from one to another. Two-fifths of the sugar of the world is produced in Java. Labor costs little or nothing The natives work for something like
 $2.5O a year. The principal products
 are sugar. cotton. rice. cagu nuts and citronella. Of the total population there are probably 30,000.000 Javanese. and the rest are Chinese and Portu. guese. The white population numbers about 10000. mostly Dutch, and there are few Americans. The immensity of
 the production of Java may be esti-
 mated from the fact that the internal
 revenue is nearly $2OO.O00.OOO.
 Notwithstanding the big population.
 the richness of the soil and the great productivity Java is hardly paying possession to the Dutch. It takes all
 that Java yields to pay the expenses of fighting the natives of the other is- lands, like Flores. where the inhabit-
 ants are savages. mostly head hunt CTS. Borneo is the largest island in the south sea. but its population is small compared with that of Java.

WHY NOT?
War is war. Also hell.

War is war. Also hell.
 The acknowledged atrocities have been excused by saying that war is no picnic; people must expect hard ships.
 Airships have sailed over cities and have dropped bombs, staying inoffen- sive people and children.
 Towns of no military value have been exterminated, the women and their babies tumbled out into the highway, to show the terror of the warriors arm.
 The story of the Cossacks' march is as horrible a bit of fact as Chi. nese white wolf incursion.
 It is now being reported that Ger many is getting ready Zeppelin in. vasion into England. The aircraf. are to drop explosives down upon non-combatants and their homes.
 Kill and destroy seems to be the general order. Let in the floods: drown 'em. Tear them with shrap- nel. Envelop them with poisonous gases. Rip them up with bayonets. Sneak up under water and torpedo their boats. Sow mines in the sea. Kill. Kill anyhow, anywhere, any time, but kill.
 But while bloodthirsty ferocity has been carried to a further degreee than ever before, it has not reached limit. One means of destroying the enemy has been overlooked.
 It is the germ.
 An interesting article by John B. Huber in Harper's Weekly shows the relative destructiveness of the bull let and the microbe. He gives an in- cident of 1846. where Gaia in the Crimea was besieged by the Tartars. ''The bubonic plague broke out among the besiegers and killed of many more than the besieged could possibly have disposed of, thousands daily. Then brilliant idea occurred to one of the invading generals: h. stead of loading their engines with stone and metal they rammed into them and thus catapulted into the city the bodies of their plague-strick- on, bacteria-ridden dead. Whereupon the Gaffans became so plague-strick- en that they abandoned their city and introduced the plague into Con-
