Size of a Molecule

When it is considered that each ono of these microscopic beings has a com plete organization: eats, digests and respires, and that each of the organs with which it performs these func- tions of life has a complete organiza- tion of it's own, there is a great deal of point to the saying of Dean Swift, who died in 1745. that
 The little fleas have lesser fleas
 Upon their ba ckS to bite 'em:
 And these again have lesser ones.
 And so. ad infnitum
 Small as is a bacillus, it is of im- nense size compared to a molecule. which. for long time, was considered to be the smallest compound substance in existence. An idea of the size of q moIecule may be formed by consider ing the following words of Lord Ray leigh, in the Philosophical Magazine, volume 30, page 474, in 1890, speaking of capillary attraction in connection with molecules:
 The extent of the cohesive force must be limited to about the two hum dred and fifty millionth of an inch
New Britain herald., 1919-05-12

and, within similar limits of un- certainty it appears tolerably safe to conclude that the diane ter or distance of the particles Cmole- cules) of water is between the two thousand and ten thousand millionth of an inch"
 A molecule of water is made up Of two parts of hydrogen and one part an atom. An atom, therefore, must be at least one-third smaller than the molecule. But this is not all. We have by no means reached the end of the series in the descending scale of mag nitudes.
 In 1874 Dr. G. Johnstone Stoney dis covered that atoms were by no means the ultimate units of matter He found that they were made Up of electrical constituents and, in 1891, he had de- ve1oped his theory sufficiently to be able to announce that these constitu- ents of atoms were partly negatively charged units to which he gave the name "electrons," and partly posi- lively charged ones, which, however have not yet been identified with any thing known to science. The most that can be said by scientists concerning the positive units of electricity in an atom. is that ''it must be there, as the
 atom is in neutral condition, and
New Britain herald., 1919-05-12

could not be so if the olectron the negatively charged uniU were it's only constituent"
 An clcctron bears the same relation to an atom of hydrogen, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, "as pins head to the dome of St. Pauls Cathedral"
 And now comes the most wonderful part of the affair Each clectron with in the atom reVolveS around an axis of it's own and around a central point, in exactly the same manner as the plan cts around the sun So that each atom is a sort of bubble, constituting a Armament, within which exists an en- tire world
 At this point science forsalles US, at least provisionally; for we are told that beyond the electron we cannot go It is the Ultima Thule" of sci entific research, so far as the present progress of science is concerned, Whether it will be able to extend Its researches still further through later discoveries is hypothetical and. per haps, questionable
 But fortunately we find another guide at this stage of the inquiry, which at this point has become more interesting than at any of the pre- ceding stages. Philosophy no" takes up the Ariadne thread and gives us at

The Microscopic World

Just as We are not able to discover what is going on in the outer worlds which stud our Armament and can only guess that some of them are in habited, so, too, is there as great a barrier between us and those micro scopic worlds which, when we consider the relativity of space, are no less dis tant from us than Alpha Centauri and Sirius and the millions of other stars coursing through the heavens trillions and quadrillions of miles away.
 Another corollary of the relatiVity of space is that the assumption of modern science regarding the divisi- bility of matter may, after all, be wrong. To understand this 1t may be

h.s approximately as our earth, and the central point around which the eIectron revolves would have swollen to the proportions of our sun.
 It is, therefore, not at all prepos- terous to suppose that since it is only relatively to our mind that the cleo irons seem so small, there may be other minds in which the very same electrons may actually appear to be of the size of our earth and be GOV cred pretty much the same With all sorts of fauna and fora and be raclzed by wars and other troubles; or, if more fortunate, peopled with happy race of creatures to whom sickness. poverty, famine, misfortune, rancor and death are unknown.

pher of the Romans, in a wonderful poem, which is one of the masterpieces Of the literature of all times, advocated the atomic theory as propounded by Epicurus, and, indeed, adopted the lat ter's philosophy in toto. In modern times the doctrine of Democritus and Ep1curus was revived in the seven teenth century by Robert Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton, and has been gain ing ground among scientists more and more, until at the present time scarce ly a voice is ever raised among scien. lists in defense of the doctrine of the infinite divisibiIity of matter.
 The voices that are raised in defense of this theory are those of philoso- phers, foremost among them being Schopenhauer AS he died in 1860, thirty-one years before Doctor Stonev

well to go a bit into the history ol this subject About four hundred years before the Christian era two Greek philosophers taught opposite doctrines concerning matter. One of them Democritus, maintained that matter consists of very small particles, atoms, which, as the name indicates, cannot be divided into anything smaller, and that these are, therefore, the ultimate constituents of everything in the world, and as such are eternal.

 Assuming, he says, that we actually do at last reach some ultimate par. ticIe or element which We find in sorns way to reside in and to be the con- stituent of every other object in ths world, will that explain what that is which gives that socalled ultimate element it's power to act? VIII not that power to act be just as inexplio able then as it was before?
 And, although the electron b.m come since his time to assume ths position of the ultimate element undar. lying every object of which ua bavs any knowledge, his question has not Iost its force. What, after all. is 1t 'nat lmparts to the electron its mar Ne4ous activity, which sends it revorv. Ing around that other even noora HEsterlous central point of the atom7

 The answer to this query constitutes the entire philosophy of schopen. hauer' which. as he says, is ons thought viewed from various poiptx This Fundamental thought which ba develops so fruitfully is in brief. that the same force which we recognize in our own selves as our will ia ths very same force which irnparts caus- ality to every part of nature, whether organic or inorganic? In us and other animals the will is accompanied bv an intellect, which serves to submit tn it the motives which actuate it's de- cisions; in vegetable and inorganic substances, the will operates without the guidance of a brain intellect, and is actuated by stimuli in the case of vegetables and of causes. strictly so-called, in the case of inorganic objects. His philosophy aims at proving this will to be something alto~ gether metaphysical, although 1t IS the basis of everything within the physical world.

For. after all when scientists believed the mole cule to be the final point of divisibility of matter, they found that they were wrong, and that this pre-eminence he. longed to the atom. And, later, they were compelled to admit that even the atom is compounded mass. and that the electron should be enthroned as the ultimate parent of whatever of material nature exists.

 The electrons are represented as re, volving with incredible speed; so much so, according to the scientists, that they travel around their central suns millions of times in an inconceivably small fraction of second. Yet 1t is only owing to their extreme smallness that this furious rate of speed appears to be greater than we can conceive of in connection with any other material thing. Ill reality it does not exceed the rate at which we know light to travel namely 1S6.000 miles a second, which goes to prove that both time and space are purely relative affairs, and that. if an atom could be enlarged untu it assumed the size of the flrma- r,,ent such as we sec, the eiectron within it would have grown to be as

AFTER killing off larger part oh A humanity in year than the world war in all it's four years of batties' the influenza bacillus has at last been captured This is the welcome news that has just come from London.
 With the bacillus in captivity meoi- cal science will now find 1t compara' lively easy to discover ways ana means of putting an end to the havoc which this active little vegetable mp has been playing with human lives in every corner of the earth
 The discovery of bacillus is not a whit less romantically interesting than the discovery of a planet Both are so far out of our reach that thelr presence is usually felt long before their existence is actually known. Thus it was years before the planet Neptune was discovered, although it's influence upon other members of the solar system had satisfied astrono- mers beyond a shadow of a doubt that there must be some such disturb ing body lurking somewhere beyond our ken.
 Two Million in Drop
 Nor does the analogy between the discoveries made by the telescope and the microscope end there. In the former, it is the immense magnitude of the objects which they disclose; in the microscope, it is their amaz- ng minuteness which elicits our won der. And in regard to distances, it may be said that the planets and, in a more striking manner, the fixed stars are scarcely more remote from our grasp than are the infinitesimally tiny worlds which are spread out be- heath the lens of the microscope
 In view of the fact that the nearest of the fixed stars, the Alpha Gen. tauri, is forty eight trillion miles from us, and requires eight years for it's light, travelling at the rate of 1s6.Ooo miles a second, to reach us. the state nlent that the microscopic world is no less remote from us may seem like another of those paradoxes which are more sensational than true. But, let us see!,
 The word bacillus is Latin and means little rod. The Greek word hacterion signifies the same thing. The those which were first discovered in 1883 were shaped like rods. Since been discovered, having entirely diff ferent shapes, some being spiral. others round and still others oval. Yet, because the name first given them had acquired currency the world over, sci. entists have retained the original ap. pellation. irrespective of their appear. ance.
 A rod-shaped bacillus is provided with whiplike appendage by flashing which it propels itself through liquids
 through blood, for instance.
 Small as is a drop of blood, 1500 of the rod-shaped bacilli can bestow themselves quite comfortably end to end across the diameter of that drop. At that rate about 2,000,Ooo of them could be accommodated within the blood drop.
