DR.. ]. E. Hoyt, who is stationed
at Debarkation Hospital No. 5 in
New York City, sent 500 to a local
bank for the purchase of Victory

on the structure OF atoms, may say
that this enormous store of atomic
energy resides within the nuclei Of the
atoms. These nuclei are extremely
small, having n diameter which is
probably somewhere near one one-mil-
lionth OF that Of the atom itself. or
having a volume which Is a billion
billion times less than that OF the
atom.
According to the RELATIVELY thoory'
(Which Is 4 very abstruse theory, I'M
derstood well only by relatively few
scientists, but which is generally ac-
cepted by them) each unit of weight
Gas for example a gram or pound)
OF matter contains exactly the same
amount of energy. In fact, each gram

nuclei we shall undoubtedly be able TO
of matter. no matter what Its compo-
sition may be, contains about thirty
million kilowatt hours, l. e.. if we
could get the energy out of q single
gram Of mater We might theoretically
be able to utilize this to run a 5000
horse power engine for about year.
For a good many years l have
known of these facts, and have been
much interested in specializing as to
how such energy could be rendered
available.
THE more learn about atoms. how
ever, the more difficult the problem
seems. You see the difficulty is that
this energy is contained within the
excessively small nucleus, and this
nucleus is surrounded by an enor-
Inously strong field of force. we have,
therefore, no tools by which We can
act on this small nucleus in any effect
i've way. Chemical reactions, even of
the most violent kind, only cause dts
turbances in the outside portions of
the atom, and seem to have no effect
whatever on the inner portions CT the
atom surrounding the nucleus.
"a couple of months ago Sir Ernest
rutherford published a series OF papers
in the Philosophical l[d0dsine Cor Lon
DOM, in which he described expert
ments where by the use OF radium he
was apparently able to bring about Ito

Of some of the nuclei of atoms of GER

man has been able to control processes

1T Is. perhaps. not yet certain that
this result was accomplished by Sir
Ernest Rutherford, and further con-
firmation OF these experiments Is
needed before we can be sure, but I
think It Is highly probable that within
the next few years we will learn a
great deal more about the structure of
the nucleus OF atoms, and perhaps dis
cover more effective means by which
changes in the nucleus can be brought
about One thing is certain, and that
is that the nucleus of most atoms IL a

LAS have pointed out, however, the
problem is an extraordinarily difficult
one, and although l consider It proha-
bic that this source of energy will ulti-
mately be utilized by man, probably to

81 agree with Sir Oliver Lodge to the
extent that l would consider that II
would have been very unfortunate to
the world as a whole if, for example,
the Germans had had available the
sources OF energy that may some day
be derived from atomic energy"
With all the thought which has
been bestowed on the subject OF atomic
force in the last few months, no one
has as yet devised a means of utiliz-
ing 1t. Where is the atomic engine of
which Wells so eloquently writes?
Very likely the development of the
Harvesting Of atomic energy will come
along much .H' same lines as did
wireless telegraph. TO which Sir OH
yer Lodge referred in his centenary
address. After what has been done in
few years by the transmission OF
the Hertzian waves through the air
and their adaptation to a system OF
signalling there need be no one who
will declare that the age of miracles
Is past. The adaptation of the force
OF the atom to the uses OF man is no
more chimerical now than was the
proposal years ago to make the earth
a great Whispering gallery without
the use of wires.

sidered as approaching that of MOLE

being in this case a solid. Thus
we may give at a glance the inter
esting but pitiful story from the break
up of the original uranium atom to
that of polonium, the last member of
the chain to be definitely identified"
Crowther declares that although
there Is not yet formal proof there is
evidence that all kinds of matter are
radioactive. He raises the question:
as the atom born TO grow old. decay
and die?"
He would know II new atoms are
being formed in the secret places in
the universe to take the place Of
those which have passed from material
ken. He declares that here man is
brought face to face with one OF those
facts which science has not yet IL
Illuminated.
If the light is not very strong,
there are at least glimmerings which
help show the outlines of fact. The
genius OF Rutherford has informed
us much about the disintegration of
the atom. Surely the strong and ac-
tive emanations from radium, which
can scorch and heal. are indices OF
the mighty power which is locked up
in this atom battered out OF its place
at the periodic table and cast into
outer darkness.
The Investigations of such dis
tinguished physical chemists as DIR.
w. A. Noyes of the University OF Illi--
nois, who last Friday received the
award Of the Willard Gibbs medal for
his work on valences and kindred sub
jects, have thrown much light upon
the nature Of the atom.

Prof. George B. Pegram, tho
head of the department of physics at
Columbia University. said the other
day that he point raised by Sir Oliver
Lodge as to the moral fitness Of the
human race to take upon itself the
responsibility for the handling OF the
atomic forces was worthy OF the mos
thoughtful consideration.
Whether or not all combinations Of
atoms would yield this new energy Is
matter for the scientist to estimate
according to his set rules. In some o.
the elements the atomic forces are IN
doubtedly much weaker than they are
in others.
DR.. Whitlock whose investigations
have been mainly along the lines OF
he study of crystals expressed much
interest in the atomic energy, although
he said that at this time il was most
difficult for any one to fOresee Whai
progress would be made in bringing
under the control of the race.
What with the molecular forces
nearing exhaustion, such as Is shown
in the gradual failing OF the coal
measures, the disappearing OF the for
ests and the scant and uneven water
power that exists in many localities
there are strong reasons for the ex-
tension of research into the develop,
ment Of the force atomic. When tE@
is done many a pet theory o: che1ni'trS

however, draws attention to the space
arrangement of the electrons. that is
their third dimension distribution, for
they are not on a plane as are the
planets. Thus each nucleus, depend
ing upon the nature Of the substance,
may have from one to ninety-two
electrons. He says that the helium

the most difficult TO disintegrate.
The tempest in the atom is well

experiments in the Cavendish Labora-
tory, where he was associated with
Prof. Sir ]. ]. Thomson. He describes,
Tor instance, the manner in which
the radium atom breaks up. Its
energy content" he writes, becomes
too small for its mass, and a small
fragment OF IL which we must regard
as having been whirling round in
the atom with great velocity is pro-
jected like a stone from a sling, or
rather like one of the fragments
OF bursting hywheel. This atom is
always an atom Of helium-why we do
not know. The residue Of the atom,
its atomic weight now reduced to
four. forms a new substance, which in
this case happens to be gaseous.

mines are properly open pits dug down
for many feet below the surface O,
the earth. Almost all the work in the
mines is done by negro labor. In some
cases phosphate rock as II Is loosened
by the laborers in the pits is shovelled
into buckets attached on a derrick
boom, by which means they are lifted
with their contents to the surface
AS a rule a pick and shovel are thu

Instances the surface first is stripped

e What Is known as pebble phosphate
is mined principally by hydraulic
power This pebble phosphate ia
raised from the pits by electric driven
pumps and forced through ten inch
pipes to washers on the surface.
When the soft phosphate is brought
to the surface it is conveyed to

in a house above the kiln. When pul.
verified the product is conveyed nv

shipment.
Hard rock phosphate is dried in
sheds especially constructed for the
purpose The rock is then piled on
wood, which is set on fire. After this
process has been completed the phos-
phate is ready for pulverizing and
sacking.
In some cases the hard rock phos-
phate mines are flooded and the pits
are worked by floating dipper dredges
which lift in huge scoops the dripping
rock to small mine cars. in which, by
means of cables, the product is con-
veyed along trestled railroads TO the
plants above, where the phosphate Is
dried and prepared for shipment.
