Scientific Discoveries Of
 Englishman Startle Europe

Paris, June 16 - Will two great dreams of the scientific. world - one of ancient science and one of modern science - be realized through the work of one man?
 Will the hope of nediaeva1 alchen- ists to change base metals into gold termed crazy by all schools of up- to-date chemistry -- become once more a recognized possibility?
 Will atomic energy, more powerful and more full of possibility for good and for evil than any other force yet known to man, be leashed as steam and electricity have been leashed, each in its turn?
 The scientific world of Europe, most conservative in the world, has had it's entire point of view violently revolutionizeed by the discoveries of an Englishman, Sir Ernest Ruther- ford, which Charles Nordmann, writ ing in the Matin. characterizes as manity than anything Lloyd George ever did or ever could do.
 It has been determined that the. atoms which go to make up chemical elements = oxygen sulphur, lead, iron, gold and so fCrth-are not com- posed of essentially different material, as hitherto supp oSed, but of the same basic substance differently arranged. Each atom is like a little soler sys- tenn with a central sun known as the nucleus of the atom, around which revoIve little worlds known as cleo irons, which are identical in all ele- mentS.
 Rutkerford's Discovery.
 Rutherford has discovered that the atomic nucleus is made up, in the case of heavy clements. of an ex- tremely Stable-that is, unchangeable mixture of nuclei of hydrogen and of helium: the latter four times as heavy as the former.
 u appears to be. therefore, the number of these helium nuclei that determines the atomic weight Of the metal, and, as is well known. each metal has it's own definite atomic weight.
 These atomic nuclei of which we speak, each a sun in it's own solar system, have. in heavy metals. a diam eter of less than a ten-thousandfh of a millionth Of miIlimeter. which is
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-06-16

about a fve-millionth of the diameter of the entire atom.
 Rutherford eNperimented to try to disorganize one of these tiny solar systems. He determined to shoot it to pieces It took him a long time to find a Little Bertha" small enough for the bombardnent.
 Finally he hit upon the element known as radium alpha. The electrons of this element travel at a rate of more than nine thousand miles a sec- ond, or 10000 times the speed Of a rifle ball. Mass to mass, the energy released by this element is four hum dred milion times that of a rifle ball.
 Rutherford, by means of a highly technical and ingenious instrun1 ent which he invented and which might be called his gun" managed to shoot the radium electrons at the atomic nuclei of various elements. He suc- ceeded in changing the makeup of those of six elements nitrogen, boron, fiuorine, sodium, aluminium and phosDb oruS.
 In the case of aluminium Ruther- ford actually succeeded in releasing atomic energy, the most powerful force in the universe, so far as is known
 In addition. he so broke down the character of the element that his ex- mutation so painfully and vainiy at tenpted by the alchenists of yore. He proved at least that the heavier metals can be frightened. perhaps changed into lighter metals and opened the way for the discovery in the future of a way to accomplish the reverse.

Northcliffe Opposes
 Printers Reduction

London, June 16-Opposed to ef- forts to reduce the wages of printers on London daily newspapers, Lord Northcliffe has resigned from the Newspaper IProprietors Association. He takes all ms newspapers, including the Times and the Daily Mail, with him. He has let it be known that there will be no reductions in the wages of printers employed on his publications. The Association was in volved in the matter; hence he decid- ed to break with it.
 In a statement on the subject Lord Northcliffe declares he objects to capitalists, ignorant of Fleet street, dictating terms to men who have spent their lives trying to understand the complex questions of a newspaper With the possible exception of some sporting journals and a labor publi- cation, he says, a millionaire is be- hind every single London daily news paper.

In The Theatres

Owen Moore and Tom Wilson are deserving of a, place in the Hall of Fame for their laugh-producing per formance ct the Community theatre today in the 6elznick Special Re ported Missing" The production was advertised as the greatest action pie ture ever made and it is all of that. Thrills and laughs follow in quick succession and the story never lets down for a second. In addition it contains one of the most villanous williams that ever scurrIed a ship or cut a throat. The willy Orman, Ori- ental shtpOwner who tries to deprive Owen Moore, es Richard Boyd, of his right to purchase a fleet upon which he has an option. is certainly a 100 per cent. screen scoundrel.

BY EDNA LEE BOOKER,

international NcWS Service Sstaf Picking, June Is - Declaring that the building of railways in China will mean great industrial development, will remove the dangers of thousands oe people dying from famine every year and bring about a unificatfon of the people in China, Frederick w. Stevens, representative of the Ameri- can group of bankers, discussed the International Consortium before sev- eral hundred Chinese students.
 ''The Province of Szechuan Is a. great empire in itself, with an enor- nous population and exceptional pro ductive capacity, yet by reason of the lack of railroad connection with East ern China it might almost as well be another continent as far as benefit ing Eastern China is concerned" said Stevens. ''When millions were Starv- ing in Eastern China wheat was sell ing in Szechuan for ten cents a bush el, but for want of railroads connect ing the supply with the demand they could not meet this need. It is either physically impossible to bring them together, without railroads or time and expense make 1t impracticable. With railroads wheat could be car ried From Szechuan to Eastern China for one cent a bushel.
 Must Raise Funds,
 It Is a question for the Chinese to decide, Stevens said, where China will get the. hundreds of millions Of dol lars needed for railroad building to connect Eastern and Western China and Northern and Southern China to create the network of railroads and highways so necessary to China's in- dustrial prosperity and to her poli- tca1 unity.
 Stevens said: 'I sympathize with the Chinese desire to handle their own affairs as far as possible; but my sympathy does not carry me along when it is stated in effect that the Chinese people, who in one way and another have only produced to date 8 total of less than 5000 miles of railway, will be permitting an in fringement of their sovereignty if,

PoIi Review

Walter Manthey and Girls heads fine bill at Polls for the last part or the. week. The act consists of A clever dancing, singing and viol1n 1y applauded. Manthey, who hin1seh is a clever dancer, is assisted by 1ouE beautiful girls, each an artist Tne song Like Every Old Lady, made q big hit and was delightfully."- rendered4
 Ray, Hamlin and Ray are three wire and bar artists who made the audience hold it's breath several times as they swung over the top of tIfS bar and did several handspringS ID the air. They are by far the besE acrobats that have appeared in Polls in some time.
 McFarlan- and Palace. two young men, made a hit with their sfngIng They were encored several times Carson and Willard in Meet the Doctor,' was a clever talking act that was well received The doctor and his friend are also good singers. Raw son and Clare in E'Yesterday'' was not so good. Their jokes are old and have been sprung before. The sets ting to their act was excaedingly good.
 The feature picture, The Prodigaf Judge,'' with Jean Paige and Maclyn ArbuClle was crammed with acions The setting of the play is in ths South in the 18th century shortly be- fore the war. Character acting fea@ lures the play. Maclyn Arbucklet who plays the part of the Prodigal Judge, is at his best all through the play He brings his character acting out to it's best. Jean Paige who plays the part of Betty, is no new~ conner on the screen. Her acting in the picture is stellar. The scenery all through is good. Old Southern mansions, the Mississippi and other things similar in the South play im< portant roles in the setting of the play. The plot is cleverly worked and as usual, "alPs we'll that ends well.'' Pathe News and the LeaIheE Pushers complete the program.
