Wonders Inside Atomic Worlds

irons that suddenly change their orbits
emit energy, which is transformed
into the various radiations perceived
in the spectrum.
While the electrons placidly pursue
their orbits, without any impulse tend
ing to displace them, they emit no "a
diation, but if induced to leap to an
other orbit an electron, during the
traject, gives out energy. But as it
falls into regular revolution in the
new orbit, it becomes quiet again and
ceases to radiate.
All this is a very imperfect repre-.
sentation Of some Of the results Of eE.
listing theories and studies about the
inside constitution and conduct Of
atoms. 1t can, at best. induce n Gu
rious reader TO study the subject for
himself BY exciting in his mind a de-
sire to know to what point science has
attained on this wonderful road, AMI
toward what new outlooks it is push
ing. For it is not denied that many
existing ideas will probably have to be
changed, although the central facts
of the divisibility Of the atom and of
its possession of enormous internal en-.
ergy are sure and permanent addi-
tions to human knowledge.

tn VERYONE knows that court is place where
II judges make decisions supposed to deal out

II either contendng party refuses to accept the de-

The World Court of the League of Nations is no ex-
ception Its advocates intend that eventually its de-

That is why many sincere Americans want to stay
out of the World Court because it would take us into
the League of Nations, and call upon to go to war in
enforcing the leagues mandates
So far the league to have been successful in
holding small nations in check such as Greece and
Bulgaria has not checked the big nations from ag-

Probably if the league tried to control one of the
great European nations it would precpitate war big

San Antonio Winter
Weather

n AN ANTONIO'S winter weather proved its worth
IN last Tuesday when with minimum temperature
of "a degrees recorded here the mercury fell be-
low the freezing point at Dallas and Fort WORTH and
the Middle West buried under thick blanket of
snow.
Every cold wave proves that Texas is big state
and that climatcally speaking it extends from the
Arctic Circle to the Tropic of Cancer.
The winter tourist in Texas needs to travel only
few hundred miles to leave the sunny South for the
frigid North. Although the thermometer here MAY
occasionally show freezing temperature the normal
height of the mercury indicates mild and equable
winter climate No matter what the temperature may
be here on cold day in winter that of North Texas is
always considerably lower
We must admit that there are reputable San An
tonans who vouch for statement that seet and snow
have fallen in San Antonio But white landscape is
such rarity in this cline that it leaves
indelible impression
In confessing that cold weather does sometimes
visit San Antonio for day two, would emphasize
the fact that San Antonians consider temperature
low 80 degrees above the Fahrenheit scale to
be very, VERY cold.
San Antonans, accustomed to the best of winter
climates class disagreeable day that would be con-
sidered mild and pleasant in the North.
San Antonios winter weather is chemically pleas
ant Sometimes the weather Is little unpleasant for
San Antonians. There is not q winter resort in the
United States that boast of having winter weather
of monotonous perfection San Antonians can tell the
truth about San Antonio winters True merit suffers
by Misrepresentation.

Figures Of Speech
"Tophet."

"Tophet" is used sometimes as
synonym for hell, hades, or sheol, the
place Of future punishment for wrong
doors, but il meant originally valley
near Jerusalem, where children we're
made 'to pass through the fire of
Molocb." Josiah threw dead bodies
and other unclean things there, to
prevent all further application Of the
place to religious use. See III Kings,
xiii, verses 10 and IL.
At Tophet the army Of SIENNA
cherib was destroyed. The valley Of
Tophet was called also "Gehinnom"
(valley of Hinnom). which was cor
rupted into Gehenna; and Rabbi
Kimchi tells us that a perpetual fire
was kept burning in it to consume
the dead bodies, bones and filth de-
posted there.
The name is derived from the He
brew word "toph," a drum, because
when children were sacrificed there as
burnt offerings TO the heather god
Moloch, their sbrieks were drowned
by the beating Of a drum. To con-
sign a person to Tophet is to curse
him bitterly.

Science speaks very confidently OF
the state Of things inside the atoms,
and graphic representation are Of
fered Of the spinning solar systems, "
consisting of electronic planets and
protonic "suns," that form the basis
Of what we call matter. But these
pictures are only creations of the
imagination trying to Interpret mathe-
mates, and it is sometimes disconcert-
ing to observe the changes that are
made in them as new data are intro
duced into the calculations. The jump
ing from one orbit to another, ascribed
to the electrons, would be a catss-
trophe Of the first magnitude in the
solar system. Occurring inside an atom
it is supposed only to give birth to
radiant energy, or light.
All, il we could but see such things |.
Man has a touching confidence In bis
eyesight, even when he knows that
1t often fails him and even deceives
him. But the eye is not made for
such fine work. II can gee the plan

but it cannot see even the outside Of
an atom. When aided by the most
powerful microscope ever made, it can
not do that. How, then, could it hope
10 see inside the atom, the almost in
finitely minute electric particles that
are not larger in comparison with the
whole atom than the planets are in
comparison with the vast extent Of
the solar system?
But what a sight it would be The
electrons spinning, in a series Of con-
centric orbits around their nuclesr sun,
and making "a thousand million revo-
lutions in one-millionth Of a second!"
What a sight to behold one Of those
yertiginous particles suddenly jump
from its orbit to fall into another, as

PERILS IN PINPRICKS
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health, New York Cits

Here is a cable dispatch from Ber-
lin:
"Sigmund Breitbart, billed in circus
and vaudeville programs for years as
the worlds strongest man. died to-
day at forty-two.
"Breitbart, whose exhibition consist
ed Of pulling against two horses, bend
ing iron bars and tearing horseshoes
apart, succumbed TO blood poisoning
which developed from a small nail
scratch"
/ just read this in a paper. II
shocked me because / have seen this
young giant at work. What he could
do with his powerful muscles was
marvellous. Now he is dead at forty
two. He was killed by a pinprick
practically.
Everybody knows there is such a
trouble as blood-poisoning. Hardly n
person living but has lost an acquaint-
ance from this cause.
If blood poisoning is such terrible
disease, why do you lot take greater
pains to escape It?
For years have observed with
horror the practice some young peo-
pie, girls especially, indulge in on
every occasion. They do not hesitate
to dig their fingernnils or to jab pin
into the flesh Of those with whom they
are playing or scuGling.
To scratch, bite or otherwise DELHI
erately break the tissues Of human
being, except in actual self-defense, is
a crime against humanity. 1t may
seem funny" or playful" but IL
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-19

may prove fatal. That isn't SO funny.
Not everybody can take diphtheria.
Not every exposed child will catch
scarlet fever. Likewise, not every
damaged person will have blood pois-
oning. '.'-
Fortunately for us, Nature has pro-
vided what we call "the power of re-
sistance."' Except on occasions we
are pretty well immune to the harmful
effects Of germs. II we have lowered
our power OF resistance by wrong liv-
ing, we may become susceptible.
1t behooves us, so far as We may,
TO avoid scratches, tears and other
wounds. We never can be perfectly
confident that our resistance is suffi-
Gent to give protection. Even though
Breitbart was the worlds strongest
man, he fell on death from a mere
scratch.
In every household and everywhere
that people gather, there should be an
iodine preparation. In every drug
store these days there may be pur-
chased a little vial, the cork carrying
a convenient glass rod, all ready for
an immediate application of the iodine.
Apply the iodine. Then wash the
injured parts thoroughly with clean
soap and clean water. Apply another
drop Of iodine and cover the injured
part with cotton or bandage.
Don't neglect an injury, even IL 1t
appears to be trifling. Your safety
demands care of every wound.

II one gland oversecretes or under

glands out Of balance.
That is, they begin TO ovenecrete

compensate, TO make up for the fail

The glsndular endocrine system is a
system Of wheels within wheels.
The result Of gland unbalance, Of

In children, for instance, an under
secretion of the thyroid produces
stunted stature, large head, dry skin,
enfeebled mentality.
In adults an undersecretion Of the
same gland gives mental and motor

On the other hand, oversecretion Of
the thyroid produces a moist skin,
great unrest and extreme general ner-
vousness. In marked cases the eyes
become staring and the eyeballs pro-
