 The heat liberated by this action is tremendous.
 "Calculations made from Fin stems theory of ielativity." Harkins adds, indicate that the amount of heat liberated in the formation of one pound Of atoms of helium from lighter atoms of hydrogen should give as much energy as the burning of 10000 tons of coal, or enough to heat an ordinary house for 500 to 1,ooo years"

 The bureau of chemistry and soils of the Department of Agriculture is preparing to utilize the sound waves in the analysis of soils. which often is made difficult by the sticking qualities of Colloidal substances cllnging to the grains. Such Colloids were removed from the grains of a ''very difficult" sample sent to Dr. Wood with a few minutes aprlica- ton of the vibrations. By the usual methods. the process of shaking >io- lently and whirling must be repeat- ed 20 or 80 tiJues. tedious under taking requiring hours to disperse the colloids.

 Watching the atoms discharged from the thorium at 10000 miles d second, lt was noted that nearly all the atoms had straight tracks, but that an occasional atom sud- denly struck off at an angle.
 Prof. Ilarkins concluded that these struck some minute object in their paths, resulting first in a fusion Of both and then an eXplo- sion. The result would be two atoms of different nature, one heavier than the original atom.

ENGLISH SCHOOLS
 SHOWING DECLINE
Believed Due to Decreased
 Birth Rate

London. May IS (UP)-The mum her of children attending the public elementary schools of England anG Wales continues to decrease, statis ties issued by the board of cduca. lion show.
 At the same time grant-aided sec. ondary schools, which might bt called junior high schools or ster between grade school and higl school in America, have made gains in their enrollments and now exceed the pre-war figure. These gains however. still leave deficit" of approximately :5o,ooo on. the rolls of the schools, compared with the number attending the institutions in 1914.
 Official figures on the attendance at public elementary schools follow January 31. 1914, 6,oSa,649; March 31, 1921. 5,s54,o6S; March 31, 1927, a,597,ocn. The grant-aided secon- diary schools showed the following enrolment: January 31, 1914. 1s7,.o7; October |, 1921. 5Go,oo5; October 1, 1926, S76.s29.
 The public elementary schools show loss of 43s,6oo between 1914 and 1927. subtracting the second : 7ry school gain Of 1s2,6oo, the net loss remains 242,o07.
 Teachers Decrease
 Board of education figures show that there was total of 1s3,9S6 teachers employed in 1914. not in- cluding teachers in practical instruc- ton cen4ers. The latest available . figure, that for 1a25-o6, is 16c.a51. showing 8 decrease Of 1879. It is noted however that the percentage of certified" teachers has increased while he supple or part time teachers not holding certifi Cates decreased, between 1924 and 1927. by 125 per cent.
 Tha declining birth rate since the war IS considered chiefly responsible for he slump in school attendance. The birth rate. c41 per 1000 poru- l7ton in 1918, Gppped to ITS in la;s, and the icisl provisional estimate for 1927 is 167.

Chamberlin of the Uni- versity of Chicago, the earth was built up by the aegreg gation Of smaller bodies called planetismals.
 The solar system, of which our earth is part, may well he con- pared with an atom, which consists of a nucleus and electrons revolving around it. In fact. il has been esti- mated that the nucleus is about as large compared with the supposed diameter of the atom as iS the sun compared with the diameter of the solar system.
