LIKE A TINY SOLAR SYSTEM.
Power and Possibilities That Are
Locked In an Atom.


The most generally accepted theory
about the structure of the atom
which Is no longer regarded as the
ultimate indivisible particle of any
element, as this of course could have
no structures that Il Is q positively
charged nucleus surrounded by sys-
tenn Of electrons which are kept to-
gether by attractive forces from the
nucleus. Thus It becomes a sort Of in
fnitestimally small solar system.
In an article In the General Electric
Review DIR. Saul Dushman draws the
following conclusions from discus
cussion Of the laws that govern the
atoms Of the several elements:
considering the relationships ex.
hibited by the different radioactive
elements, one realizes that the dream
of the alchemists may not have been
as fatuous as has appeared until re-
Gently. The concept Of an absolutely
stable atom must be discarded once
for all, and Its place is taken by this
miniature solar system, as 1t were.
consisting OF central nucleus and
one or more rings of elections.
But the nucleus itself Is apparent
~ the seat of immense forces, and In
spite of its exceedingly lnfnitesimal
dimensions 1t contains both alpha par.
ticles and electrons. Once I'm awhile
the nucleus Of one Of the atoms will
spontaneously disintegrate and expei
an alpha or beta particle A new ele-
ment has been born. What causes
these transformations Can they be
controlled? These are questions which
only the future can answer But II
we had 1t in our power to remove two
alpha particles from the atom Of bis
muth or any of its isotroues, not only
would the dream of the alchemists be
realized, but man would be In posses
sion of such intensely powerful sources
OF energy that all our coal mines, wa
ter powers and explosives would be
come insignificant by comparison"

We can prove that great many people

THE MODERN TORPEDO.
How It Travels and Its Effect Upon
Striking a Vessel.


The present day torpedo Is very
different sort of weapon from that used
half century ago. 1t is shaped some
thing like cigar and Is about twenty
three feet long and twenty one inches
In diameter. 1t weighs considerably
more than ton, and its construction
costs from $1,000 to double that sum.
1t is made to travel In a certain di
rection in fixed time and to explode
when it strikes some solid object, such
as ships bottom. A torpedo of the
largest and most modern type will
tear gaping hole in the stanchest ship
ever built The nose or explosive
head of a torpedo contains the deadly
charge Of high explosives, nitroglycerin
and guncotton being oftenest used.
When the torpedo strikes its target
a tremendous defamation follows In
SANITY, driving in both the outer and
inner skins" Of vessel. The hole 1t
makes in ships bottom varies In
size, but is seldom less than ten by
thirty feet The torpedo travels to-
ward its victim at the rate, roughly, Of
about thousand yards a minute. The
distance and rate Of speed have to be
calculated to nicely before the tor
pedo is discharged. 1t is kept to its
destined course by perpendicular rud-
ders In it's tail.
The modern "dirigible" torpedo was
first used in naval war during the
Chilean revolution Of a quarter of a
century ago.-New York World.

crem ation In Ancient Greece.

Cremation obtained among many an,
cient peoples. Especially did the Greeks
find spiritual grandeur in the concept
of the soul arising from the ashes OF
the dead-the natural body-into the
empyrean, to dwell thenceforth with
the stars. Cremation was, indeed, an
honor denied the bodies of suicides,
those who had been struck by light
ming and others deemed to have for
feited the favor of the gods.-Scientific

WAR PROLONGED TOO MUCH FOR
PATIENCE OF SPORTING
PEOPLE

PARIS, Mar. 22 - All the known
gambling houses in Paris were closed
at the outset of the war, but the
prolongation of hostilities has proven
too much for the patience of sporting
people, and an occasional clandestine
resort is now found. One was raided
the other evening in the Rue Cha
teaudun where nineteen women and
four men were found around gambling
tables, all of them foreigners.
In certain quarters of Montmarte
and in the Latin quarter it is also
possible to overleap the regulations of
martial law regarding the sale of
wines and liquors after the hour of
half past ten. Another result of the
long tension upon people habituated
to pleasures of more or less dis
orderly character is the growth of
petty gambling taking larger
proportions the cafes of Mont
marte and the Latin quarter Poker
is the favorite game. but in many
places baccarat is also played.

little to indicate that Kwantung pro-

tight grip on affairs and is loyal
to the Peking government. As long

little danger of any extensive trou-
