RESEARCH FINDINGS
Highly Technical Subjects
Discussed Before National
Academy.

Highly technical subjects were
treated by speakers at the National
Academy of Sciences today. Irving
Iangmuir connected with the Cen
eral Electric Company. at Schenec-
tady, n. Y, read a paper on The Ar
rangement of E1ectronS in Atoms and
Molecules" Prof. Langmuir said his
researches had upset may theories as
to valences and had shown that chem
lists of the last generation were wrong
in other conclusions. But electricity.
he declared, was destined to reveal
even greater wonders. and the cleo
tron was not, necessarily. the last
word in minuteneSS. There may be other
and even more powerful agencies yet
to be discovered by science.
Charles Lane Poor gave q descrip-
tion of a new computing machine
designed to solve the mechanical
problems involved in aerial naviga-
tion. The method is known as the
Saint Hflaore process DR.. Poor said
the new method had been adopted
by the chief navies of the world. He
said a computing machine had been
designed which solves mechanically
the entire logarithmie calculations
necessary in working out a sight
by this method
DR.. Edwin \. Hall spoke on The
Effect of Great Pressure on the Elec-
trio Conductivity and Thermo-electrfc
Properties of Metals He declared
that research in this field had develop
ed possibilities for practical use OF
the power generated in that way.
DR.. Henry F. Osborn discussed the
probable habits of the moropos, an
extinct animal of enormous dimen-
sions. seventeen skeletons of which
exist. The animal belonged to pre-
historic age.
'Egyptology" was the subject of an
address by Prof. James Henry Brea-
sted of the Chicago University at last
nights session of the academy. Prof.
Braisted told Of the habits of people
who lived in that fertile land 1000
years before Christ.
The meetings are attracting scien-
lists from the Department of Agri-
culture, the Department of the In
