BY GARRETT p. sERVIss

A reader asks for the meaning of
the statement that "a comparatively
small amount of radium could run
a ship" The meaning is that the
atoms of radium are filed with in
ternal energy, which. if released un-
uer mechanical control. would do a
vastly greater amount of work than
we can obtain from any other
known source.
1t is probable that all atoms are
similarly charged with energy, but
only those of the radioactive sub
stances spontaneously reveal the ex-
lstence of this energy by giving OFF
heat or by hurting forth fragments
or constituent parts, of their atoms
Radium, by virtue of it's internal
energy, keeps itself continually at
a temperature several degrees above
that of the air around it. But the
heat is given forth so slowly that it
cannot be employed for mechanical
purposes, to say nothing of the fact
that the amount of radium at our
command is excessively small.
a piece of radium might be liken-
ed to a gradually oXydizing lump of
coal; If its rate of atomic disintegraA
ton could be fastened the effect
would be like putting the coal into
furnace and burning 1t rapidly,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-08-02

! whereby its energy would become
available for mechanical use.
If we could not burn coal, but
could, nevertheless perceive by its
wasting away that it had within il
a store of energy which only re-
quired to be delivered faster in or
der to become available for our use
then the mechanical utilization
| of the energy of coal would be as
alluring, and apparently as hopeless
u problem for us as that of the utili-
zation of the energy of radium is al
present.
The immensity of the energy thus
shown to us in a form in which we
cannot grasp it makes its nonposses-
sion an irritant, and ought to make
| it powerful tonic to human
genius. 1t is as if a mountain of
adamant showed by slight outcrop-
ping veins that it was stuffed full
of inestimable treasure. which de-
fed all attempts to gather it because
of the impenetrable nature of the
enclosing rock.
Some time genius will break into
the adamantine prison of The atomic
energies and release them as fast as
we want them, and then-there will
be "a new earth" for man to devel-
op his powers in. and the old one.
the baby's cradle of humanity, will
have passed away.
Then a few pounds of radium
will, indeed, drive ship, not of the
watery sea, but of the fathomless
blue ocean of the atmosphere,
around the world. and possibly far
ther than that. Then will come
upon man anew the peril of pride,
thinking himself in truth a god, but
not remembering that the gods are
immortal. while radium, with all it's
hidden energy, is as mortal as man
himself.
In giving forth its essence of
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-08-02

power. radium perishes = though
slowly. The lifetime" of radium is
calculated at several thousand years
1t would be for mans interest to
shorten it from years to hours or
minutes. Thereupon its gigantic en-
ergy would come forth and tower up
like the irresistible genie from the
Arabian fisherman's bottle. and be-
come his slave.
1t has been calculated that one
pound of radium would, in the
course of it's life, develop about 49,
240, 900, 900, 900 calories. or heat
units. Now one pound of anthra-
cite coal, completely burned, can de-
velop 3,500,000 calories.. which is
only about one -millionth of the
amount stored in an equal amount
of raduim.
Then, make the pound of radium
develop, or give out its energy, as
fast as the burning coal does and
look what you would have! But
only a small fraction of a pound of
pure radium has as yet been extract
ed from its ores, in all the labora-
tories put together, and when it is
mingled with substances that are
not so radioactive as itself radium S
power is proportionally diluted.
Yet, there is. all told, a good deal
of radium in the earth. enough. per-
haps, to help keep it warm, or
rather to prolong its existence as an
Iunfrozen and fe-bearing globe. So,
too, it has been thought that radi-
um in thee sun may be n source of
supply for its apparently unlimited
energies.
But there is reason for thinking
that radium is not peculiar in pos
sessing vast storees of energy locked
up in it's atoms. on the contrary, it
is probable that all the atomt of
which the universe of matter is
made up are similarly constituted,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-08-02

| so that even the invisible air is
packed with energy that if released
could be used to produce mechan-
ical effects.
1t has only been actually proved,
| however, that the atoms of sub
stances of great atomic weight are
thus endowed. One may get a con-
ception of them as centers of poten-
tial energy by likening them to
wound up springs which perform no
work until the catch is released.
Where did their energy come from
How were they wound up, and who,
or what did it?
Only speculative answers have
been given to these questions. We
do not know how the mechanism of
the solar system. with its revolving
and rotating planets, originated. al
though it lies all open before us:
even less do we know how the sys-
tenn of the atom with it's infinitesi-
NAL and unseeable particles. which
move with speeds comparable with
that of light. was formed. And, as
we cannot yet use the earth for a
flywheel, so neither can we employ
the spinning atom to produce me-
chanical power.

EVERY ALLIED
PLANE SOON TO
CARRY BOMBS
British Trainers Liberal in
Praise of American Stu
dent Aviators
By Associated Press

With the American Army in Eng
land.-Almost every airplane used
by the Allies soon will carry bombs.
Experts in aerial warfare are con-
vinced that the general efficiency of
the corps will be increased If a
bombing device is added to every
plane sent out. even though 1t be
or the type. once intended only for
recogniZance work. and Americans
now training in England are being
as carefully drilled in bombing as
in handling a machine gun.
Lessons learned during the resist
ance offered in the recent offensive
have served to increase the already
high regard of both British and
for the lowfiying, bomb carrying
craft, and, over the camps and
countryside where avtators are be-
ing trained, planes are in evidence
almost every hour, dipping down
from high in the air and skimming
the nearby country, barely missing
tree tops and houses. 1t is the new
er lesson they are learning. and OBJ
servers back from the front where
the allied planes did such remark
able work not only in scouting and
distracting the enemy but actually
in breaking up formations and al
| points checking the onward move
ment have urged concentration on
that form of training.
| British trainers, detaiIed to Amer
lean aviation camps, have been lib
eral in their praise of the new fliers
from overseas, their only criticism
being that the Americans are "a bit
knnn
to go in for flying stunts rather too
early in training but even this the
| trainers have admitted is a valuable
fault, although one not to be en-
couraged.
Team Work Necessary
1t has been pointed out to the
| Americans that team work as well
as individual efficiency is a prime
requisite and the Americans have
| steadied themselves to the routine
their trainers have found makes for
general advancement if not for in
dividual applause. Fancy flying, the
lacrobatic work that once found ia
vor and drew heavy rare receipts at
aerial exhibitions in the United
States, still is taught but the learn
| ing of that form of flying also has
come to be regarded merely as rou-
tiiC anu MiOlly W Tie
steady, low flying desirable for at
tacking camps and troops in forma-
ton.
Accidents have occurred in the
camps where the Americans are be-
ing trained and few men have been
killed, but the records show that
the percentage is far less in England
than in the United States. Those in
training here are inclined to at
tribute the difference more to luck
than to anything else, although
there also is pointed out the proba-
bility that the average airplane used
in England is better made machine
than the average that has been used
in the United States.
The bombing devices being at
tached to virtually every plane is
not the contrivance that was used in
the earlier days of the war. That
used then was little more than a
mechanism that released the pro-
jectile, allowing it to fall at a point
approximately near the target. The
device now being used is one with
which the operator may with much
practice become almost as proficient
in craftsmanship as an artillery
