such as atoms of oxygen, nitrogen and
the other heavier elements.
"In changing into any other ele-
ment | believe that hydrogen changes
first into helium, which was found in
the sun before it was found on earth.
In doing so a portion of its atomic
weight is lost and given off as energy.
This released energy comes to us from
the sun in the form of light and heat,
and makes life possible on earth.
"By hurting against the atomic
structure 100000 volts of electricity
| may be able to produce this change
of light atoms into heavier atoms, and
thus, in effect, create another sun"
Some of the vast energy released by

tricity to run factories and trains, or
to provide light and heat for great
communities in place of coal and oil.

An old Spanish legend, how

its origin. The importation of the
orange tree by the Moors caused
a sensation in Spain, and it was
the desire of every lord to obtain
an offshoot from one of these
trees. The French ambassador in
particular was especially anxious
to get a slip in his possession.

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON.
by Helen Rowland
The Great Adventure

Nov, my Daughter, there
IN dwelt a Youth in Babylon,
who was called Bravo" which
is to say, ne-without-fear.
And. all the days of his life
Bravo wondered at those, whose
faces blanched in time of danger,
and envied those whose pulses
leaped and whose hearts went
faint in the face of peril.
For what is the joy of adven-
ture without the tremor of a
THRILL?
And 10, Bravo sought his Thrill
in time of War. upon the field OF
battle. But, when the smoke had
cleared away and the fighting
had ceased. he was still calm and
looking for more" And there
was no thrill IN him!
Then he pursued his quest in
the jungle. He followed the wild
beast and struggled with. the lion
and trapped the elephant. Yet
his heart and his pulse remained
unstirred and his blood pressure
perfectly normal.
He mounted a plane and sailed
through the air; he descended in
a submarine and sailed beneath
the water; he circled the earth
and climbed the Matterhorn. Yet
fled and the hairs of his head un-
fled and the hairs of his head I'M
disturbed.
And 10. 1t came to pass that a
woman came unto him saying:
Teach me, oh Bravo, to drive a
motor car
And Bravo agreed gladly TO sit
beside her while she guided the
car.
And the woman DROVE.
And. behold, when Bravo re-
turned from the drive. his friends
knew him not. For his face was
whittier than good husbands
conscience. and the hairs of his
head stood on end, every one of
them. and in the sleeves of his
coat there was a mighty trem-
bling.
And Bravo hid his face in his
hands. crying; "At last At last.
have HAD my thrill! 1t Is
enough
For, in seven miles, the woman
had laid low many trees and
grazed hundred trucks. and
fIirted with countless trolley cars,
and caused Bravo to face twenty
deaths. Her foot knew not the
brake from the accelerat tor, and
her hands were as butter on the
wheel and an sand in the gear
shift
And Bravo was "all in"
And thereafter, Bravo Settled
GOWN" and was content to dwell
in peace.
And his life became as other
mems lives, just one day after
another. one meal after another
and ones girl after another.
And there was no more adven-
ture IN him! SELAH.

A place where a great thinker

be no less interesting than that
where a famous general has won

the locality recalls wildly a man

Because I have found this to
