Helium Unioue

Helium is an inert gas discovered
by astronomers and physicians in the
sun more than twenty-five years be-
fore it was isolated in the earth's at
mosphere. 1t is very light and is con-
tinually escaping from the earth's
gravitational field. 1t is non-inflam-
mable and non-explosive. Four parts
in each million of the atmosphere are
helium. Helium is non-corrosive, and
will not combine with any other chem
ical element even at extremely high
temperatures. 1t is the product Of the
disintegration Of radium, and is found
in many rocks and minerals in small
quantities. As 1t is an element it can
not be made from any other COM
bination Of gases.

Horns of Moses Traced
to Medieval Painters

1t was the custom of medieval art
lists to depict Moses with horns. The
colossal figure in the church of st.
Pietro in Vincoli at Rome, regarded
as Michelangelo's masterpiece, shows
the Israelite leader with horns. 1t is
described as a representation of the
wrath of Moses when he came down
from Mount Sinai, and found his PEG
pie worshiping the golden calf. 1t has
been explained that the horns were
used to give an effect of strength, and
this is supported by the fact that horn
is frequently used in the Bible to
mean strength. Bible scholars believe.
however, that the mistake arose from
a wrong translation of Exodus "a
20, 80, where it is stated that
"the skin of his face shone" In He
brew, the word for this is qaran.
meaning rays of light darting out"
while the word for horn is Qeren, and
1t is believed that the first translators
of the Bible into Latin confused the
words, thus giving currency to the
horn tradition.

Proof CT Growth Ray"
Gains, Scientist Says

The existence of Growth Rays" BY
means of which the growth of human
beings. animals and plants could be
stimulated, has yet to be proved, but
evidence of its existence is increasing
daily. according to Prof. A. NJ. Low,
British scientist.
81 believe it is still too soon to an
nOunce the discovery Of what one
might describe as 'AIitogenetic' rays,
although research work in this direc-
ton SO far only confirms the belief
which | myself have held for many
years-based on my fermentation ex-
periments-that life may be affected
by both known and unknown rays"
In an interview in London with the
United Press, Low discussed the pos
sibility (suggested in an article in the
scientific weekly, Armchair Science)
that certain rays may stimulate
growth.
THE existence of Growth Rays has
been suspected for many years past"
he explained. land experiments have
been conducted and are being conduct
ed which would tend to confirm the
suspicion. Several years ago, for in
stance, it was shown that the growing
root Of an onion gave off something
which could travel through air and In
crease the multiplication Of cells in
another onion root"
The effect of the suspected rays is
all the more remarkable, he continued,
because, he said, even If a plate Of
quartz is placed between the roots the
the action persists. Nor does water
interfere with the progress Of the rays,
thick glass or gelatin being the only
thing which seems to affect it.

Burns Musical Genius

AS for Burns, his genius fed upon,
daily and hourly, the floating High
land airs that lived among the peo-
pie. He was a musician born. Some
wind would blow him a wandering line
of verse, some ancient tag of ballad,
and a strain Of an enhancing Celtic
melody. While he drove his pillow
he would whistle and chant till
he had woven them into something
that made all the world in love with
him for ever.-Grace Rhys, in the In

Goethe and CARLYLE

Goethe is not only one of the SUI
preme poets of the world; he has the
distinction of being the author of the
best German novel, William Meister.
The best translation of this was writ
ten and published by Thomas Carlyle
more than one hundred years ago. In
reading this translation, therefore, one
is reading in the same book the works
of two men Of genius. Carlyle
had almost no opportunity to hear
spoken German; he was largely self
taught. But it was characteristic of
his honesty, industry, conscience, as
well as his literary gifts, that he
should have done his difficult work
so well that no one has been able
to equal it.-William Lyon Phelps, in
Essays on Things"

DyeinR Living Trees

Scientists have dyed living trees
with different aniline dyes for more
than 30 years in order that they may
study the flow Of sap and many diff
ferent methods of injection have been
attempted. Several attempts have
been made to put this scheme on a
commercial basis. The companies
working with the material have been
particularly concerned with the color
ing of birch, beech and maple, par
ticularly the sapwood. One Of the diff
ficulties of the process is that 1t is
almost impossible to get an even color
throughout the tree. As a conse-
quence, the material has been cut up
into small articles such as colored
wooden buttons, umbrella handles, Gig
arctic cases, candlesticks, etc.

Mark Twain

One day, when Mark Twain was
very busy writing in his study, his
little daughter asked where daddy
was, and was told she must be quiet
and not disturb daddy because he was
upstairs writing an anecdote.
Not long after the doorbell rang and
the little girl ran to answer it. The
caller asked if Mr.. Clemens were in,
to which the little miss proudly re-
piled:
Eyes, sir, he's in, but you can't see
him cause he's upstairs riding a nan
nygoat."

pedite the handling of incoming tele-
phone calls to the various departments

equipment it is perfectly practical to
transfer calls from one telephone to

within the newspaper plant is han

insisted. Every scrap of evidence
they had against her. Why she was
IL years old Shed only been in
town three weeks!
One Of those ghouls of stool
pigeons took her to an east side
place she thought was restaurant.
The girl hadn't any idea she was
getting into"
F. NJ Travers had arisen. Look
here, Stone" he said coldly, ut
seems to me the time for you to
have tried this case was three years
ago. If it was framed, if the evi-
dence was full Of holes, why wasn't
she released?"
Because you know as well as l
do that the municipal judgeships
are rottenI Because she happened
to employ me as her lawyer instead
of one of those greasy court hang
ers-on who split fees!"
Travers face was livid. Before
he could speak Kelsey Mccormick
had raised a hand. Gentlemen!
Gentlemen" he said. This is no
place for accusations against the
municipal judiciary.
We called you here, Mr. Stone, to
make certain few particulars in
the case. 1t is laudable for you to
defend your client, but surely such
an outburst is unwarranted! AS a
lawyer in good standing"
Stone interrupted him. II am
not that" he said. 81 gave up my
practice six months ago and for
exactly the reasons I've stated. Be
cause 1 know Marlboro's courts are
rotten with bribery. Because Nor
ma Kent's case is only one of a
dozen others could name.
"You may be an officer of the Bar
Association, Mccormick, but if you
don't know these things as well as
do, you've been going around with
your eyes Shut"
THERE was hush. Mccormick
l. said in his most judicial tone,
IF you know all this, why don't you
make your charges in the proper
way?"
Stone smiled contemptuously
Because I realize how much good
it would do. Cromwell here can tell
you how much is common Cos
sip"
There is nothing to be gained, y
Travers interrupted, from any more
talk of this sort. I am sorry to
have troubled you, Hollis. Don't let
us take more of your time"
The younger man stood his
ground Shouldn't have lost my
temper he admitted. tits because
I know this girl you're talking about
and because I know she got raw
deal that said what I did. She's
she's fine grill"
ooh? suppose you know ex-
actly what she's been doing ever
since she left Mount Florence?"
mo, as matter of fact, I don't.
I only saw her a couple of times
before her trial-and two months
ago with Mark at Blue Springs. If
there were ever two youngsters gen.
timely in love, I'd say it was that
pair!"
Travers nodded. He appeared to
have complete control of himself
again. THANK you, Hollis he said.
THANK you for coming over. Drop
in at the house and see us some
time soon"
1t was dismissal Enthusiastically.
Stone nodded a curt, Good after
noon," and turned toward the door.
AS it closed behind him. Travers
arose.
Well" he said with sigh, "that
seems to be all for this afternoon.
You'll let me know, Mccormick, how

He wore plaid overcoat. His

McHugh spoke excitedly, Listen,

got everything! The whole works.
What do you mean, everything?"
McHugh stuffed one hand into
vest pocket, pulled out a folded
document. "You see the old man
wanted evidence for a divorce,
didn't you? Well, I've got it!
Enough for any court in the world.
Here's her police recordl"
He flung down the document.
