PICTURE MADE
Of ATOMS

One of the most important dis.
coveries to science was made at
the Bureau of Standards here
several days ago when DR.. VIII
liam F. Maggers finally succeeded
in obtaining Spectra photographs
Of the atomic structure Of Lutte
cium.
There are known to science
all told 80 forms Of atoms, of
which lutecium Is one, and while
no one will ever be able to see
an atom, it is possible through
means known to experts to
photograph them in roundabout
manner.
The photographs show the
atomic structure and are possible
due to the fact that each indi-
vidual atom throws off a light
that, in combination with that of
other atoms, forms a sprism.
Through study of this prism it
is possible to determine the class
in which the different atoms fall.
A Definite Pattern
In this study 1t was found
that atoms are built up from the
simple to the more complex, &C
cording to definite pattern
which DR.. Maggers shows prevails
throughout all nature. Electrons
are arranged about the nucleus
in the form Of successive shells.
It is the electrons of an un-
completed shell which are not
bound to their own planetary
system that can attach them
selves to atoms of their same
element or for that matter other
elements. It is this type Of atom
and electron that Is responsible
for solid matter and chemical
combinations. Without them the
universe would not exist.
DR.. Maggers attempted to
knock off the three outer shells
or electrons, Of lutecium by
means Of an electric spark ana
succeeded in his task, despite the
fact that he was working with
less than one one-1undredth of
an ounce Of lutecium.
MOs3 Important Feat
The achievement is considered
one Of the most important to
science in past years. Lutecium
it was found had a complete
sixth shell Of IA electrons.
AS the result Of his discovery
it will be possible for scientists
to carry on work with other rare
elements. Small quantities Of all
elements can be procured with
the exception Of illinium, the
latest element discovered and the
rarest material entering into the
structure of the universe.

PARK FOR FALLS,
, GRANTS PLEA

Plans for establishment of a
park at Great Falls should 90
ahead without delay, and power
development in the vicinity
should be left to future action
on Congress, in the opinion of
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, 3rd., vice
chairman Of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
Colonel Grant takes issue with
Major Brehon Somervell, District
engineer for the War Department
who declared that 500, 900, 900
would be saved by hydroelectric
development at Great Falls along
lines drawn up by the Potomac
River Corporation, Of Wilmington,

Colonel Grant said that Major
Somervell is mistaken in his

power development" and, that
while the engineer may be sincere
in his claims "he is certainly
not an authority on parks"
