Science

A student was asked. What Is
eIectricity?"
He hesitated and finally said that
he had known the answer but had
forgotten.
That's too bad" said the profess
sor. because you have forgotten
something that the whole world
would like to know"
Electricity is a mystery, yet the
kind that travels along wires. strange
IS it is is simple compared TO the
electricity that leaps out from the
broadcasting stations to receivers
hundreds or even thousands of miles
away. An even stranger phase is
the electricity that transmits pic
lures by radio.
IT is not conducted by air. because
it can go through vacuum tube
from which the air has been pumped
out or through a brick wall or even
through a bank vault. The only
thing for it to travel in is ether
This is also more in the nature of
a figure of speech, because the
ether cannot be explained, clearly,
and is a theory more than a proved
actually. 1t is the only expIana-
ton, however, for wireless opera
tons.

Fails 20 Get In
I have been trying to overcome the
difficulty OF getting this man ad-
mitted TO America under the Russian
quota. Time and again he had failed
10 get through. 1 hope he may win
through with his child on the next
quota.
One would think that she would
be weary of the struggle and dis
heartened. but no. She has become
a real American and loves America.
But If her lover cannot be admitted
she expects to go TO him in Europe
1t is the way in which she meets
her trials which leads me to write
this. I quote from her last letter
II hope so much that things will
work themselves out exactly as they
should in the most beautiful way.
Please do not worry any more about
this case. 7 understand very well
that this law limiting immigration
had to pass some day, and how can
one put any private unfortunate sit
uation in the way of the general de
velopment Of things? And besides,
dear Mr.. Quick, who of US mortals
knows what is absolutely unfortu-
nate and what is not? With d little
common sense and n little sense Of
humor Chose useful and most i'm
portant springs of our psychological
behavior are there any unfortunate
situations? Are there any tragedies?
1t seems to me that tragedies fly
away from before perfect wisdom
like shadows from the face Of the
sun. and everything acquires a deep
meaning in the long run"
Here we have shown us a real
genius for happiness. Many of us
ought to feel ashamed Of the com
plants we utter and the discomfort
we feel in the light Of this lady's
calm and serene conformation of
her situation. She reminds me of
that New York girl who, when rem
dered a hopeless cripple. put in a
it-jacket for life, established a
bedside department store with Smile
Through Somehow" as its motto.
And 1 hope America may find a way
to open her gates to the Iong-absent
sweetheart-forA Americas sake.
