it would be enough to lift the Ger
man navy and pile it on top Of Ben
Nevis.
Sir Ernest Rutherford reckons that
the gaseous emanation primarily
given of from radium after firing
its first shot--this emanation being
itself chemical element called
Niton--is so spontaneously active
that it actually does radiate energy
at the rate of 10000 horsepower per
pound.
Undoubtedly, if the progress of
discovery enables US to get at and
utilize the energy locked up in a ton
of ordinary matter per diem, no
further motive power would be
needed.
And if, furthur, we found our
selves able to liberate any consider
able portion of such energy in a
short period of time, the explosive
violence would be such that the very
planet would be unsafe.
It is to be hoped that no such
facilities will fall to the lot of all
enterprising scientific nation until
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-09-21

time to the experimental to examine
the properties of the intervening
substances. Yet these substances are
real elements, with chemical reac-
tons of their own, and with char
acteristic spectrum. Their peculari-
ty is that they are short-lived.
The greatest energy per unit
weight of combustible material is
burning of hydrogen in oxygen.
This emits heat to the value of 1900
units of heat for every gramme of
water formed by the combination.
But by the time a gram of radium
has gone through its changes, a
million times this quantity of energy
would have been emitted. Let it
not be supposed however, that only
the atoms Of radioactive substances
possess this atomic energy. 1t is
pretty certain that every kind OF
material atom must possess it,
some more, some less; but for most
atoms the energy is all locked up in
their intimate structure, and is quite
inaccessible.
Reveals Energy Secret.
The radioactive elements are
those which do not keep the energy
completely locked up. Once an
hour one out of 30,0O0000 atoms
goes off with violence, and continues
to fire at known though not quite
regular intervals five times, till it
becomes quiescent again. 1t thus
gives away the secret of vast store
of energy.
Every atom is = complicated
structure, a region of law and order,
and in all probability no element is
permanent. Disintegration is prob
ably only a question of degree.
The unstable ones attract atten-
ton and enable measurements to be
made. Some of these are fairly Sc
date, and like uranium, last millions
of years. Radium> lasts at most
few thousand years; but other ele-
lrents are so prodigiously violent
that they last only few minutes.
These. therefore, make themselves
conspicuous even in small quantities,
but naturally are extremely scarce.
An Abundant Store.
he point for present considera-
ton, however, is not the rate at
which different elements choose to
give out their store of energy, but
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-09-21

existence Of this store and its mar
vicious abundance.
The particles shot off from radium
are shot with a speed quite amazing
about lis that of light. To get
some notion Of this speed we may
compare it with the highest speed
of bullet. During the time taken
rifle bullet to fly without resist
ance from the muzzle Of rife to a
target 800 yards away the "a" par
ticlc simultaneously shot off from
radium would have travelled the 5000
miles from London to New York.
The time needed is only quarter of
a second.
And as to the energy of such
projectile-it is not much in itself,
because its mass is so minute, but
weight for weight it is four hun
dred million times more energetic
than bullet.
Limitless Atoms.
But, it may be said, radium fires
them off so seldom. Each projectile
is violent enough, uly, but you say
there is only one out of 5000 which
explodes in the course of a year.
That is so; but think how many
there are in any visible speck of
substance.
Take milligram of radium- that
is, take LIZ of a grain-and ask
how many projectiles such as we
have been describing are fred off
by each second. The number is no
less than 100000, even from the
radium itself; and the number of
proJectiles is really five times as
great as this if the products of dis
migration are not allowed to es-
cape.
Thirty million projectiles, each
with LIS of the speed of light, come
away from a milligram of radium
every second, yet tie speck will last
a thousand years before it is half
exhausted.
Chemical combination is mot in
it" with energies such as this. And
this is the kind of energy which is
locked up, and at present inaccess-
ible, in every atom Of matter.
A little arithmetic would enable
us to paraphrase the late Sir
William Crookes and say that if all
the energy in an ounce of matter
could be extracted and fully utilized

Sir Oliver Lodge, doyen Of B

Sir Oliver points out that g
pound radiates an energy Of 10000 i
ventive genius perfects this all pow
power in check.
London, Sept. IA plnch OF coal
dust or thimbleful Of oil represents
at present the most portable form Of
power. II the whole Of the energy
resulting from these, when COM
binsd with oxygen, could be really
utilized they would yield quite'a con-
siderable store.
An ounce of oil completely burnt
would heat between six and seven
pounds OF water from freezing to
boiling point, which is the equiva-
lent Of 40 foot-tons. A ton falling
height of 410 feet would generate
the same amount of heat.
An ounce Of coal completely burnt
would yield slightly less energy. A
spoonful of nitro-glycerine, again,
represents a considerable store of
enenrgy, though Of rather a violent
and intractable kind.
Does Matter Contain Energy
But is there any kind of energy
locked up not in the molecule nor
in the interaction between molecules
but in the actual structure of each
atom? Does single atom of matter
contain energy by reason of its con-
stitution? And, if so, is there any
means of getting at it?
Previous to the discovery of
radium the question could hardly
have been asked. The answer is
now known. In radioactive sub
stances there certainly is a store
