consequent loss of weight. At pres
ent however, there is not sufficient
radium in the world to give off
enough weight so that it can be
measured by instruments available.
For instance. 225 grams of radium
would give off per hour 0.012 milli-
grams Of weight in the form of heat
energy This exceedingly small bit
might be measured, if anybody could
lay hands on the necessary 225 grams
CT radium. The utmost amount now
in one place is probably less than a
gram.
The whole subject, it was brought
out at the lecture, lies on the border
line of the field OF atomic energy
that enormous. locked-up force
enough of which probably exists in
the head of a pin to blow up the
world if it could all be utilized at
once.
In one gram of mass. DR.. Heyl said,
there is the equivalent of one hundred
billion billion ergs of energy-that Is,
1O0, 900, 600, 900 900, 900, 900 times the
amount of energy which acting on a
gram for a second gives 1t velocity
of centimeter second. Roughly
this is seven billion foot pounds or
seven billion times the amount OF
energy required to raise a pound a
foot againt the force of gravity.
Mass Would Disappear.
If from the gram of nlass-air fea
Tiers, lead or anything else--that
much energy could be secured by any
conceivable means the matter would
utterly disappear. This is apparently
in contradiction to the high school
and freshman physics most of the
present generation studied, which
taught that matter was indestructible

| somewhere to account for it. Under
this theory there wouldn't be quite a
| ton, An UNNECESSARILY minute amount
would have disappeared in intangible
energy.
Here, DR.. Heyl explains. comes an
other question which cannot be
answered with any degree of GER
tainty because of the impossibility
of measurements. Does the law work
| both ways? If you take a certain
amount of energy out Of a definite
amount of water the water will be
lighter. But if you shoot a definite
amount of energy into a definite
amount of water by means of cleo
| trolosis for example, will the water
be heavier? DIR. Heyl insists that ii
would, 1t is impossible for the law
to work only one way, he holds.
Matter is Electricity.

lated theory-that of the electrica
concept of matter-which, he said.
also could be traced back to the work
of Maxwell. This is, in brief tina,
the primary element of all matter is
particles of electrical energy
This, he said. was subject to more
definite proof than the theory of the
inertia of matter and cited this ex-
pertinent to prove that an electrical

tubes would drag with them some Of
the ether. The results showed that
this was true and from this 1t could
be deduced absolutely that the whole
mass OF the particle was electrical
in its nature.
What Becomes of Energyf
The two theories resolve to this:
Matter is energy and energy is mat
ter. Matter is continually dissolving
as energy. What is energy doing?
Where does it reform into matter?
The whole is still in the realm of
metaphysics. 1t may be centuries, DR..
Heyl said, before scientists will be
able to devise means of absolute
proof, aside from the fact that the
theories work out correctly in mathe-
matics and explain phenomena that
cannot be explained in any other way.
Together the theories. which DIR.
Heyl characterized as the most mo-
mentous advances in physics in re-
cent times, seem to convey the i'm
preston that the world, the solar
universe and all men and women are
just component bits of a great river
of electrical energy roaring through
space. The question arises then,
whether thought itself and the mass
of accumulated knowledge behind it
may not be forms of energy COM
posed of electrical particles with GER
ia lin definite weight, if it could be de-
termined.
Perhelion of Mercury.
The inertia of energy, Dr. Heyl
said, may be responsible for certain
observations on the perhelion of the
planet Mercury, which do not seem
to be explainable any other way.
The possibility that the loss through
giving off energy might be detected
by weighing the world at intervals
was brought up, but DR.. Heyl ques-
toned whether it was at all prac-
ticable.
The lectures will continue through
the Winter, and DR.. Heyl plans later

The sun, without whose heat no
particle of life on earth can endure
for fraction of second, is disap-
pearing into space at the astonishing
rate of fifteen hundred billion billions
of grams year.
Here is food for thought for pessi-
mists. At this rate in ten thousand
billion years there will be no sun. 1t
will have vanished utterly into the
terrible black void of before creation.
There will be nothing but dark, ter

that the earth probably will have dis

Explained by DIR. ReyI.
The imagination -defying idea above
was among the examples used yester-
day afternoon by DR.. Paul r. HeyI of
the Bureau of Standards, one of the
foremost physicists in the United
states, in explaining the theories of
the inertia of energy and the cleo
tr1cal concept of matter to a group
OF scientists Tor whom he is outlin-
Ing in a series of lectures the prog
ress of physics. particularly in the
past 20 years.
The theory Of the inertia of en-
ersy-that is. that light, heat or any
other form of energy. instead of be-
ing subStancelesS, has material
Weights now generally accented
among scientists and explains hith-
erto puzzling phenomena, although,
DIR. Heyl said, it is very difficult to
prove practically and still is ONLY
olmly understood even by those who
know the most about it. 1t is one
OF those almost mystical conclusions
that have been deduced from the Elm
stein theory, which, understood by
only a few men in millions, is doing
SO much to revolutionize all concepts
OF creation.
Matter in Energy.
Briefly, 1t is that matter can be
translated into terms of energy or
vice versa.
The theory cannot be proved q,

an enormous body as the sun, DR..
Heyl SAID, because fifteen hundred

Weight of Light.
Il is known, however. that a wave
of light weighs something, which
might be recorded on sufficiently del
icate instruments. Ii is a part of the
actual physical sun transformed into
energy.
DR.. Heyl revealed yesterday that
although the theory of the inertia of
energy is perhaps the most startling
of the conclusions which have been de-
rived from Einstein's theory of rel
ativity, the German physicist does not
himself claim sole credit for it, bu;
showed how it could be reasoned out
from the electrical experiments of
the English physicist Maxwell, the
data on which had been at the dis
posal of scientists for 33 years be-
fore Einstein saw their real signifi-
canoe.
DR.. Heyl said he believed the best
prospect of proving the theory by
actual measurements lays in the Civ
ing off of energy by radium and the

to enter into the full mathematical
data which tends to prove the inertia
Of energy. He is one Of the foremost
living authorities on tho strange new
concepts brought to science by the
Einstein theory, so incomprehensible
to laymen, and last Winter made an
unsuccessful attempt to disprove the
whole theory by making weighings
of crystals to one part in a billion.

ORDERS WORKERS

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 17.-"Men who
spread communist doctrines are not
wanted in Omaha" declared Judge
Sophus Neble, Jr., in South Omaha
police court Friday as he ordered R.
Anderson and G. Harris to leave the
city within "a hours.
Anderson and Harris appeared in
court as witnesses against William
Scott, building foreman at the Ar
mour plant, whom Anderson accused
of pushing him off scaffold. Ander-
sons back was slightly bruised.
Since they began work, Scott said,
the two men have been spreading
Communist doctrines among other
workers. When he told them they
must stop causing strife, he said, An

that he was quitting. In the course
Of an argument, Scott pushed Ander-

Judge Neble is a young and recent
appointee of Charley Bryan, governor
and candidate for vice-president. An

so far as the local Workers Party
knows. However, Judge Neble could
not distinguish between LaFollette,

were all opposed to his machine in
politics and that was enough.

Only a few millions actually turned

prominently were the members of the

deport alien radicals who cannot

was attacked yesterday in a state
ment by the American Civil Liberties
Union, which made the original
charge against the department.
The Union cites the records of the
Federal District Court at New York
to prove that the Department de-

land the latter part of August on a
passport furnished by the Ukranian
Diplomatic Mission which is "recog-

nor by the Soviet Government"
The Civil Liberties Unions state
, ment follows:
The case in the federal court was
brought on July 2S, 1924 by attorney
Isaac Shorr to test the right of the
Department of Labor to use such
passports after Okolotenko had been
once sent to Europe and returned
because the Ukranian authorities
would not honor it. Judge Henry w.
Goddard dismissed the writ of habeas
corpus by which the attorneys sought
TO Tree Okolotenko, agreeing however
to grant a writ If Okolotenko is again
returned. The reply to the writ sub.
