NEW WORKINGS OF
 COMPENSATION ACT
Liable Employer Pays Widow Lump
 Sum to Build Home

The Alabama workmen's compensa- tor law. which the legislature passed at the last session. is being invoked from time to time by the parties who come within it's scope. and sundry pe- titions are filed in the courts to carry it into effect.
 One with rather unusual features was filed by the well known attorneys, Wood and Pritchard in the circuit court. granted an order giving effect to the statute.
 The question involved, was where a workman had come to his death, and the employer was liable under the act to pay the amount of ompensaton pro- vided in the act. The widow was the sole heir, and no other person was en- titled to share in the compensation
 The widow was purchasing a house, Instead of receiving the amount provided by law for the 200 weeks, which she could have done, she desired to get the entire amount due her and to receive a lump sum which was needed by her to pay for her home. The coo pensa ton law provided that such could be done. and the value of future installments worked out upon a per cent basis. The case was settled by paying the entire amount due. The case was ed in the circuit court yesterday Judge Green made the order carrying the law into effect.

 It has revolutionized chemistry, he said, and made possible the demonstra- tion of the fact that atoms and mole cules hitherto considered the un- changeable pebbles of which the uni verse is composed are themselves each a microcosm in which there are par ticles moving about Tn tremendous ac- tivity and at speeds which man has nevar heretofore dreamed could be at
