ENTIRELY NEW THEORY ON
STRUCTURE OF MATTER

Washington. April 27.-An entirely new
theory of the structure of matter was
presented to-day at the concluding ses-
sion Of the annual gathering of the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences by DR.. Irving
Langmur of the General Electric COM
pany research laboratory. Explaining that
his conclusions lead to n new conception
of energy, force. time space. magnetism
and all the general properties OF matter,
Dr. Langmuir asserted that space and
time have structure analogous to that
OF matter
Heretofore. the speaker said. the usual
conception of the relative order of the
components of matter has been atoms.
eiectrons. molecules. and particles. His
observations add a new division, smaller
even than the atom, which he has named
the "quantel." 1t consists of two parts.
he said, positive and negative. present
everywhere in space moving in all direc-
tons with the velocity of light and cap
able of passing through matter. They
constitute. he added. what has hereto
fore been known as the "ether OF space"
and cause all of the phenomena OF light,
electricity. magnetism and energy.

GOOD MANNERS AMONG CROWS

For several days" says William j.

In Harper's Magazine. while the crows
grew pinched. waited expectantly for
hunger to tame them, only to learn that
crow never willingly ventures into a
flock OF smaller birds, being absurdly
afraid OF their quickness OF wing and tenn
per. Then, because any hungry thing al

of food, scraps Of meat and the entrails
of fish or fowls on a special table al a
distance; but the crows would not come
near II. probably thinking 1t some new
device to ensnare them They have waged
a long battle with the farmer. and the
battle has bred in them a suspicion that

among the scraps was some field
corn. dry and hard from the crib; but
the canary birds knew too much to swal-
low the grain whole. ravenous as they
were. Green or soft corn they will eat
with gusto; but ripened field corn seems
to call for proper treatment. A crow
would take single kernel (never more

the nearest wall, and there. holding the
kernel between the toes of a foot. would

THE OFFICE MYSTERY

Marie. the blonde stenographer,
A maiden is OF note;

She wears a sealskin coat.

Gold pins shine on her hat,

She draws down twenty fiat.

Enjoys a cutaway:
He wears a silk hat down to work
With none to say him nay.
A good cigar is in his face.
A shine Is on his shoe,
He has no peer in dressy grace
They pay him thirty-two.
Who is that shabby person there
Whose suits a total loss,
Who needs a trimming to his hair?

You do not have to look like wealth
With millions In the bank.

A MYSTERY OF THE SEA



The Nevy Department has given UP as
lost the big collier Cyclops which left
Barbados on March T. 1918, with 2g3 per-
sons on board, and has not been heard Of
since. There Is nothing to tell whether
she foundered in a storm. ran on rocks
or was sunk by an enemy. None of her
boats or any part Of her woodwork that
could be identified has been picked UP,
not even n bottle containing a message.
All that we know is that the vessel has
been missing for two years and is un-
doubtedly lost.
Such mysteries were fairly frequent in
the days Of the wooden sailing vessels,
but even steamships Of steel construction
have at times completely vanished be-
tween port and port. A noted instance
was the loss Of the Naronic, which left
the United states on a trip to England
and was never heard OF again. a life
boat. much battered and bearing some
letters that seemed to identify her M
one OF the Naronic's lifeboats. was re-
ported by passing vessel, but the boat
might have easily been washed over
board before the ship met disaster as
there was no evidence that 1t was oc-
cupied when it dropped into the water.
The Cyclops furnishes mystery even
more profound. Not only was she in
much frequcnted waters and almost in
sight Of land when lost. but she car
ried wireless installation. Had she
been torpedoed by a U-boat she could
surely have had time enough to call for
help before going to the bottom. The
Germans declared that none of their sub
marines even saw the Cyclops. The boat
was reported to be staunchly built and
