dation and its source in
connection with other forms of radio
activity. The source Of penetrating
radiation has puzzled physicists for
years and there are many theories.
DIR. Robert Andrews Millikan. vice
chairman Of the National Research
Council. has been studying this puz-
zling and important scientific problem
this fall from the top of lofty peak
in the Colorado Rockies, nearly three
miles up above sea level. DIR. Millikan is
professor of physics at the University
of Chicago. and is the sciere4st who
first isolated and measured the elec-
iron. He was assisted in his studies
of penetrating radiation by Prof. Il.
N. Otis Of the Norman Bridge labora-
tory at Pasadena, Cal.
The two scientists. working In Cal
ifornja. sent up balloons many miles
into the air. Professor Otis ascended
In an airplahe to the height of 1900
feet. Then they decided to make fur
ther investigations from the top Of
Fixes peak, near Colorado Springs.
Pixies peak is possibly the most famous
mountain in the world. Anyway, mil
lions OF people from all over the world
have ascended 1t on foot. on horseback,
by automobile and by cogroad and
have been sheltered in the summit
house 14.155 feet up In the air.
Work in Summit House.
Or. Millikan and Professor Otis
transported something like four toss
of scientific apparatus to the summit
house and went to work In earnest,
after the latter had determined the
fitness Of the location by ten days of
preliminary experiments.
Sciences theories concerning pene-
trating radiation have not yet been
confirmed" said DR.. Millikan. 1--WE
are convinced Of one thing, and that
Is that penetrating radiation comes
from above us. and not from the earth,
as do other forms of radio activity

skirts OF the earth's atmosphere or

Rumsey Giving
Bible Lectures

The first of the series OF Bible
lectures by DR.. A. J. Rumsev was
held last night at the Baptist
Church, goodly number being
present. The speaker at once
gripped his audience and held their

tn eusual and those who heard him
were PROFOUNDLY interested.
DR.. Rumsey will lecture at the
same place tonight, Thursday night
and Friday night. Afternoon lee
lures will be given on the three
days, from 3 to 4 O'Clock. Every
body is cordially invited to hear
