was condemned for his daring idea
that the world moves around the sun,
he would most probably have been
burned, together with many other men
and women of those days, who were ad-
vanced enough to use their intellects.
Many time l have wondered how it
would be to have lived during only the
last eighty years or so, and have witnessed
all the great inventions of that space of
time. Nowadays we accept as matter of
course the sending of message to any
corner of the earth in the twinkling of an
eye. Or we lift the receiver of telephone
and talk across the mountains and the
deserts with our friends just as easily as
if they were right across the street. Air
plane passenger routes connecting the
metropolises of the earth's continents
Look at the thousand inventions which
have contributed towards making this age
as far as technical and material civiliza-
ton is concerned. And there would be
great hope for the future of the race were
it not for the fact that the greater number
of our inventions and our wonders of
science are being employed in the service
of International hatred instead of Univer-
sal Brotherhood
Shortly before the Great War began,
the Great Powers of this world had stand
ing armies of about 100000 men in all,
equipped with every death-dealing device
that the human intellect has been able to
conceive of to advance the highly 'civili-
zed' work of destroying human beings and
the material civilization they had built up.
This equipment by occupying large por-
ton of the most virile and energetic ele-
ment of the race in sterile and unpro-
ductive pursuit, robbed society of some of
its best energy and genius. A great scien-
tist has rightly called this state of affairs
"organized ruin"
And yet with all this, we are really ap-
preaching some great discoveries; we
are right now treading on the border lines,
so to speak, of the real Science, the great
Science that once was universally known
and applied by long forgotten races and
civilizations.
Madame Curie is very splendid ex-
ample of true scientist. In her discovery
of that mysterious substance called radium,
she has rightly been called benefactor OF
the human race-one of those selhess ma
lures who know that the creative scientist
does not work for gain, but for the JOY OF
creating, and for the welfare of his fel-
beings.
You must have heard of Professor
Roentgen, who discovered the X-rays.
While. Edison was startling the world
with talking machines and electric light
and thousand other more or less impor-
tant inventions; while the inventive genius
of the age was turning its restless atten-
ton to well-nigh every department of hu
man activity, this then unknown professor
at the Royal University of Wurzburg, in
Bavaria, was quietly penetrating in his
studies into the grand mysteries of physics
and electricity. He was past fifty years
of age when for the first time he saw that

~ and the others have bidden me tell
the story of our search for old Buc-
cancer Flint's hidden treasure, and so
go back to the time when my father kept
the Admiral Benbow inn. Then it was
that the seaman, Bill Bones, came to Us
for lodging his sea chest following after
in hand-barrow.
AT his request we called him "captain;"
he settled down, always on the watch for
seaman with one leg" and constantly
singing an old sea song:
Fifteen men on the dead mans chest
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of ruml
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo-ho-ho, and bottle of rum!
Then one day an old blind man left
him the pirates Summons" or "black
spot" which so excited him that, COM
bined with the effect of his rum drinking
it brought on stroke, and we fourd him
dead upon the floor.
Mother and / opened his sea chest
where l discovered packet done up in
oi-silk; this took with me, and as soon
as l could, went to the DOCTORS house,
where found him with the squire.
To them l told the story of the hap
penings at the inn, and gave them the
packet.
You '.a.s heard of Flint, l suppose?'
laughed the doctor, as he handled the
packet.
"Heard of him! p said the squire, "heard
of him, you say! He was the blood
thirstiest buccaneer that ever sailed! If
we have here the clew to old Flint's treas
ure, as you seem to think, then I'll fit
out ship in Bristol, take you and Haw-
kins here along and I'll have that treas
if search year!"
When they opened the packet, there
fell out the map of an island, with every
particular needed to bring ship to safe
anchorage on its shore, and full directions
for finding the treasure.
Tomorrow" said the squire, "I start
for Bristol; in two weeks-yes, in ten
days, we'll have the best ship, sir, and
the choicest crew in England You shall
be the ships doctor, Livesey, Jim cabin
boy and l am admiral"
But it was longer than~the squire ex-
pected ere we were ready for sea. In the
meantime l went to Bristol also and while
looking over the ship and around the dock,
discovered that our cook was a seaman
with one leg. He was very domineering
with the crew, but servile and smiling to
the rest.
l began to have my suspicious but he
was so deep and clever that my doubts
of Long John Silver" were soon quieted.
We settled aboard our ship, the His
PAMELA, with Captain Smollet in COM
mand; then one morning. a little before
dawn, the boatswain sounded his pipe and
the crew began to man the capstan bars.
Now, Barbecue, tip us stave," cried
a voice.
"The old one" cried another.

peculiar glowing light which he later
found possessed such remarkable powers
There is something wonderfully romantic
about all the great discoveries-or shall
we call them re-discoveries, since there is
nothing new under the sun.
Try to imagine the scientist who works
for no worldly reward, but whose soul is
filled with that quality of enthusiasm that
kindles the creative Imagination and lifts
the mind above the small, depressing
things in life, to the mountain heights of
power and joy!
Once when DR.. Roentgen was expert
menting in perfectly dark room he
passed an electric current through glass
tube almost entirely free of air, with a
platinum wire fixed in each end. He had
likewise covered the tube with a hood so
that there should be no possibility for
even a single ray of light to enter or
escape from the vessel. AS he was stand
ing there in the darkness he suddenly OBJ
served faint light glowing on a shelf
below the tube.
He examined the light further and
found that the glow came from piece of
sensitive paper barium platino cyanide
paper. This seemed very strange indeed,
for no light could escape from the glass
tube, and none could get into the room
from the outside. The only conclusion that
DR.. Roentgen could possibly arrive at was
wholly against anything that was to be
found in the textbooks, but there was no
other way Of explaining it. He thought:
"There must be some rays of light that
have the power of penetrating solid sub
stances otherwise impenetrable to ordinary
light" 1t was contrary to all reason, but
he had to belieVe it. He Immediately set
about experimenting with this new light
and he found to his astonishment that the
strange rays could penetrate anything that
one put in their way. Strange to say,
they travelled only with the utmost diff.
Guilty through glass.
Once when he placed his hand on
Photographic plate and arranged the glass
tube above it he found that he got dim
but perfect photograph Of the bony frame
work of his hand. That was the first pic
ture of its kind up to that time-an incon-
ceivable marvel.
And Roentgen gave the name of X-rays
to those strange new and powerful rays.
But it was reserved for another genius
than Roentgen to discover the real nature
of those rays and their visible existence in
the storehouse of nature. 1t was from
salt of uranium that Madame Curie ac-
cidentally got the clue. 1t was found that
this salt gave a picture upon photogra-
phic plate even through piece of wood.
This salt came from pitchblende mine in
Austria, and the ore itself was found to
act in similar way to the salt. Madame
Curie and her husband, also scientist OF
note, now set to work to give this subject
their whole attention.
The Austrian Government kindly pre-
sented Madame Curie with about ton
of the residue left after the uranium had
been removed. A careful examination OF
this residue revealed the fact that certain
groups of metals showed Photographic
effects while the individual metals would
not do so.
Madame Curie now thought that mixed
with these substances and resembling them
chemically there must be this hitherto un

PRINCETON, n. j., Dec. 1.-WhilG
the Princeton student body is cele
brating the victories over Chicago
Harvard and Yale, Coach Roper has
already started to think about the
1923 campaign.
The Tigers viii lose a dozen mem
bers of the varsity football squad.
That is quite a blow, since most Of
them are regulars.
OF the men who will graduate in
June are Captain Dickinson, Thomp
son, Gray, Baker, Stinson, Afford,
Gaines, Griffin, Euwer. Cleaves, Sny'
der and Troup.
Roper will miss Dickinson, who haF
played a great game at guard and
handled his team in fine style.
Baker has proved one OF the best
tackles of the year. His recovery
of tumble at Harvard made possible
a Tiger touchdown and victory,
Cleaves has been the star Of the bach
field.
Gray, at end, has had a wonderful
year. He is an all-American posi-
bility.
However, Roper isn't doing any
worrying. He has the nucleus for ar
other great team in Treat, one of tbs
best tackles of the year; German,
Crum. Newly, Beattie, Caldwell,
Smith, Snively. Wingate, Dinsmors
and q host of others. In addition, tina
freshman material is said to be very
promising.
