members of the national acamedy,
for this radiation Is still one OF the
mysteries, so new that scientists
disagree about its origin. The rays
seem to come from outer space

penetrate about 700 feet Of water
and many inches OF lead-x-rays
are pigmies by comparison. Yet
cosmic rays pass straight through
man without being noticed. They
are detected with electroscopes.
Source Mystery
DR.. Millikar, one or the leaders
in proving their existence equally
upon mountain tops. in balloons
and deep in earth, believes they
come from the tremendous energies
expended in creation or matter
somewhere In space.
Some other scientists hold they
can come only from annihilation

the evidence satisfactory that these
