TAPPING TIE AT0M

Much interest has been aroused among scientific
folk though little actual belief, bya report that Dr. T.

has built an apparatus which breaks up atoms Ii
this has really been DONE it is explained man NAV be
able to do something far important than the old
alchemlsts ever dreamed Of To make gold would be
but small and transtory triumph compared with the
ability to tap atom energy
Many things long believed or suspected regarding
matter are now looked upon proved 1t is accepted
today by scientific that matter is made up of
atoms, and that the atoms themselves are miniature
solar systems For every atom there supposed to be
central body nucleus with tiny particles revolving
around it at tremendous speed, and the whole system
also moving at great velocity The theory is that if
these little bodies could be harnessed' their energy
would be of inestimable benefit to mankind. So tre-
mendous their bottledup force that it is estimated
there Is enough of it in hinbeful of air to perform
as much work many thousand horses.
Atoms really are torn apart every day, in familiar
experience If the latest electrical theory IS correct
electrical is composed of electrons 'scurry
ing along wire' The electrons are supposed to be
negative particles, little electrical planets to speak,
pulled away from the nucleus or sun of their tiny
system and rushing along in search of another positive
nucleus to attach themselves to. The difficulty here is
that the electrons always find their new suns and
circle contentedy around then do the other cleo
irons which they knock loose while they running
amuck r.sss
The problem is to get the atomic particles entirely
free, stop their futile whrling and them to useful
and continuous work. That Is task which challenges
the best scientific minds of the age And it may be
hopeless.

UNDESIRABLE GIRLS

Young men, with all their wisdom, are VIGOROUSLY
poor Judges of girls. Wherefore California Judge,
wise in divorce court experience, gives them these
friendly hints about choosing wife:
Never marry a girl who has white hands When
her mothers hands calloused;
Or who wants you to take her to show every
night;
Or who has her home all cuttered up with pic
lures of beauX;
Or who is ashamed Of her parents;
Or who thinks Of nothing but clOthesi
Or who insists your spending more money OH
her than you can afford;
Or who is immodest or slovenly in dress;
Or who is promscuous kisser;
Or who is much older or younger than yourself;
Or who is not fond of children.
All Of which inevitably suggests Punchs famous
advice to young man about TO marry-"Dont But

Idaho is also the birthplace of
Earl Sande, by common consent the

he rode fewer winners than Parke,
whose size gieys him more opportu-
mites than the young man who pilo-
ted zev to victory in the interna-

tracts at a large profit, just as he
did that of Johnson.
