ington Crew.
Tomorrow afternoon at Walnut
Hill park, two more games will be
played in the New Britain Boys
baseball league. The Willow Brook
team will play the Boys Club while
Washington, now leading the league
will take on the Burritt team.
These four clubs are fighting hard
for places in the standing and two
good games should result.
The Boys Club in its first start
received a drubbing from the Para
disc park team but there is a rea-
son for this in the fact that it was
the first game of the season. The
Willow Brook team won its first
game Tuesday from the Smith team
and it expects to keep up the good
work.
Washington, by handing the
Paradise Park team drubbing on
Tuesday, stepped into the league
leadership and the t.a1h w:h Work
hard to keep there for toe r..
mainder of the season. The Burrltt
team has decided that it is about
time that itstarted winning and will
make bid to infiict the first defeat
on the leaders of the league.

In the early ninetles OF the last
century some leading men OF science
thought that all the important dis
coveries in physics had been made
The discoveries that followed in the
next few years tumbled over every
thing that they thought they knew
about the constitution OF matter ana
the nature of electricity. II this
scientific earthquake had been
planned as q practical joke 1t could
not have been more successful. Ana
the innocent little Vacuum tube
the Crookes tube, otherwise known
as the Plucker, 1Iittorf, or Geissler
discharge tube-was the center or
the whole disturbance.
What is this wonderful Crookes
tube? Just a glass tube from which
the air has been exhausted and into
which. at the two ends or at least
some distance apart, two metal
electrodes or plates are placed, held
bv wire connections fused through
the glass. IL the air Is exhausted
gradually while an electric current
is passed through, certain beautlful
luminous phenomena, arranged IN
definite order with reference TO GER
tain definite dark spaces or bands
appear in the tube in regular
sequence as the exhaustion proceeds.
lust before exhaustion OF the air
reaches o. point at which tho tube
resists' completely the passage OK
the electric current, the glow within
becomes extinguished as the dark
space enlarges and the walls or the
tube begin to shine with n golden
green light or phosphorescence, pro
ducing n weirdly beautiful effect.
What is happening in that dark
cell walled with light? Something
is travelling like rays from the cath
ode or negative plate to the oppos-
ite end OF the tube, for a piece or
mica coated with phosphorus pow
der, placed edgewise in the path
Of the supposed rays, will glow
brightly and q suitable screen
placed before the cathode will cast
a shadow on the bright wall or the
tube. So far, this seems much Ike

call this unknown something rays
cathode rays.
One early investigator Plucker)
found that cathode rays, unlike light
rays. but like the electric current
could be bent out Of their straight
path by a magnet. Others Qiertz
and I,enard) discovered that the new
ravs. again unlike light, could pass
through gold or aluminium foil. AT
length Sir William Crookes, whose
genius we have commemorated by
calling the high vacuum tube after
him, suggested that the cathode
RAYS consisted of something whose
discovery Faraday had long ago
foreshadowe in a fourth
state. neither solid, liquid nor gas
eous. but radiant matter, according
TO Crookes. Later Sir J. J. Thomp-
son and others showed that Crookes

"atoms" OF electricity, or as we
now call them, "electrons." They
are bodies minute beyond the power
of Imagination to picture. but their
mass and charge have been measured
with high accuracy. One writer
tells US that an electron compared
TO an atom is like a single stone In
the wall of a great cathedral.
