GREAT PROBLEM OF SCIENCE
When Il Is Solved IL May Be Believed
the God of War Will Be
Dethroned.

At present we know of but three
possible sources of new energy
solar energy, the internal heat of the
earth. and atomic disintegration.
writes Floyd w. Parsons in the
Worlds Work. The aforementioned
source of energy is just now attract
ing greatest attention. We know that
the atoms ,of radium are in constant
process of breaking up. We know
that this Gisintegration liberates en-
ergy, for ii has proved that the tenn
perature of the air surrounding
piece of radium is about three degrees
higher than the temperature beyond
its vicinity. However, scientists have
been unable to increase the flow OF
energy from radium by heating the
metal TO a temperature as high as
that of the electric arc. Nor have in
vestigators been able TO slow down
the disintegration of radium atoms
by placing the metal in temperature
as low as that of liquid air. In other
words, we are easily able to observe
all of the phenomena of radio-acuvity
and yet we cannot control this activ-
ity. That is the problem science is
attempting to solve, and one day when
the answer is written, the whole
course of human life will be so
changed through the utilization of the
new knowledge that past revolutions
will appear of small consequence in
comparison.
When we have discovered the Sc
cret of the atom and can control its
force, 1t is likely all nations will be
ready and willing to lay down their
arms and abolish their armies and
navies. Statesmen will be glad to sit
around q table and compromise their
differences without any talk of force,
for a power will be available In the
world so mighty in its pOtentialities
that no person would dare consider
its use except for some constructive
purpose.

"Frankenstein."

"Frankenstein" is romance by
Mrs. Shelley, wife of the distinguished
poet, Percy Byssche Shelley. The
hero, Frankenstein, cOntrives to make
and animate by his intimate control
of the mysteries of nature, monster
in human form, who becomes the con-
slant torment of its creators exist
ence. The monster was created with
out soul, yet not without an intense
craving for human sympathy, and he
found existence on these terms such
terrible curse that in the end he
slew his maker. The story of Frank
enstein" is said to be consciously or
unconsciously an allegorical portrayal
of the character of Shelley himself,
who. in "Alastor," has painted himself
as an idealist isolated from human
sympathy. Helen Moore, in her life
Of Shelley, has chapter on this SUBJ.

Make FireIiohters of Clay.

The manufacture of firelighter
from clay deposits found on his land is
being undertaken by farmer in Sas-
katchewan. This deposit is the only
known one of its kind on the American
continent, although considerable guam
titles of this clay are also found in
Germany. The firelighter is in the form
of a brick. 1t is soaked in kerosene
for few minutes. and when it has alb
sorbed quantity match Is applied.
The brick will burn for half hour
with a steady flame, and when ex-
hausted can be replenished with kero-
sene and used indefinitely. Other uses
to which this clay can be put are:
Kalsomine, filler for paper, cleansing
powders, white shoe polish, and brick
or tile Of the very best Quahty.-Scien-

Sun Cooks Scientists
Meals on Novel Stove

Observation-Disclosures Of
the Old Sol cook stove, operated
"a hours day on sun heat
alone, were explained to the
National Academy of Sciences
here by DIR. G. G. Abbot of the
Smithsonian Institution.
The device Is as yet a lux
ury. he admitted. but added that
Mrs. Abbot had done everything
but fry on the solar cook stove
at Mount Wilson. Cal. He dis
played a can of beans. saying
they were solar cook stove
canned, looked good and tasted
better"
The apparatus, Doctor Abbot
said. was "concave, parabolic
cylindric reflector" through
which ran a tube of ordinary
cylinder oil to absorb heat from
the reflector and then apply It to
the cooking compartment, lii
sulation retaining heat in the oil
over night.
Cooking temperatures were
automatically regulated by a
float device. he said. while a SIM
pie clockwOrk mechanism kept
the reflector pointed to the sun.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected. =

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Provision Of Law That Men
Must Work Handicaps
Board-Conditions in
Prison Not Settled.

Lincoln, Dec. 7.-(Special )-The
economic depression in Nebraska is
threatening to force the state to dis
continue patroliitg convicts from the
pcnitentiary. i was announced today
by NJ. r. Harmon, secretary OF the
state board Of pardons and paroles,
Men eligible to parole, whose pa
rolls have been sanctioned by the
board are remaining in the peniten-
tiary because no work can be found
for them outside the walls" Harmon
said today.
The law stipulatcs that no man
shall be released on parole unless
employment is obtained for him in
advance of his release and he must
remain employed until his sentence
expires. Then he is absolutely free.
The same unemployment facing
the men on the outside is their lot
on the inside, for as yet the state
board of control has announced no
definite policy of keeping the men
busy during the slump in the market,
which has forced shutdown in the
penitentiary furniture plant,
As the cold weather approaches
the danger to morale and health OF
men necessarily remaining idle in
their cells excepting the few hours
that they can be exercised i'll the
yard is becoming more apparent.
Two weeks ago the board and
Warden w. T. Fenton held a confer
cnce behind closed doors on the un-
employment problem and at the time
the board announced that decision
would be reached within a week.
Then the complaint of conditions
at the state hospital for tuberculosis
was voiced and the board is at Kear-
ney investigating those charges.
