SCIENCE
Space No Longer Is Regarded
as the Simple Matter 1t
Once Was.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

as the Simple Matter 1t
Once Was.
CPACE, once regarded as simple
- emptiness, becomes a great fac
tory in which the universe. contin-
uously is renewed. according 70 the
latest theory of DR.. R. A. Millikan,
famous American physicist.
DR.. Millikan puts forward his view
In the publications of the Astrono-
mical Society of the Pacific, in
which he defends once more his
position upon the eosmic rays,
whose existence he confirmed. He
again takes issue with Sir james
Jeans, the famous British astron-
omer, who sees in the coSmic rays
one more proof of the fact that the
universe is running down.
1t is interesting to trace the
changes which have come over the
scientific opinion Of space. Space is
no longer regarded as the simple
matter it once vas And there Is
some question today as 70 whether
there is any meaning to the term
empty space"
It may turn out that there is no
such thing as empty space. 1t Is
certain that there is no such thing
as empty space within our own
Milky Way or galaxy.
Recent astronomical researches
have shown that all space within
the galaxy is occupied by an ex-
tremely thin, but nevertheless an
pervading cloud.
This cloud consists of only about
one atom to a cubic inch, whereas
the ordinary air we breathe consists
of trillionS of atoms to the cubic
inch.
But the point is that as long as
there is an atom per cubic inch Of
space, there is no great stretch Of
empty space.

dime in my pocket. Without any
conception of who we were or the
danger we were in, a second brave"

The sight of this second hero"

a police Car filed with men and

Suppose I had made one move
to hand them my pocket book, or
even have taken my hands from

sisted arrest, attempted to shoot or
anything else that would suffice as
their excuse for killing an inno-

most Of them would be home
under the bed if they anticipated
trouble, and the brave" who stuck
his gun in my face was too scared
to even speak. Simply stood, wait
ing for me to make a move SO he
could shoot.
This immediate danger is past,

About Radiation

DEYOND the Milky Way lie the
- island galaxies, the spiral
nebulae. Many of these are great
collections of stars like our own
Milky Way.
At this time, most astronomers
would hazard the opinion that space
between our galaxy and these island
galaxies probably is devoid Of mat
ter. I can not recall having seen
the contrary opinion expressed In
astronomical literature.
But space is not devoid Of radia-
ton. 1t contains not only the radA-
alton being emitted by the various
galaxies, but also the more n1ysteri-
Gus cosmic rays.
The Importance of these radis-
tions is increased by the new view
OF space which the Einstein theory
introduced. This view is that. space
is finite and curved.
This means that the fadiatiorfs
are not spreading out slowly
through an endless realm of space,
but rather that they are circulating
around within a closed universe
This had led recently to the inter-
eSting hypothesis of DR.. E. Regener
of the Stuttgart institute. Regener
regards the coSmic rays as the ghost
OF a universe which existed prior
to the present one. ~
According to his view the cosmfc
rays are fossils, as it were, the
remains Of some sort of organization
which existed before the present.
nebulae and stars and planets came
into existence.
But DR.. Millikan stands by hfs
guns and insists that the cosinic
rays are proof of the fact that new
matter is being created within the
universe out of spent radiation.
Il n a 80
MiIIikan'S Conclusions
nR. MILLIKAN sums I'D his
II views Of space as a great fac
tory in which radiation is being
turned back into atoms of matter
and in which the simple atoms Of
hydrogen are being transformed into
heavier atoms in the following con-
clusions in his article in the pub
locations of the Astronomical Society
of the Pacific.
Il. That the cosmic rays have
their origin, not in the stars, bat
rather in ~interstellar space.
SO. That they are due to the
building in the depths Of space Of
the commoner heavy elements out
Of hydrogen which the spectroscopy
Of the heavens shows to be. widely
distributed through space. That he
lium and the common elements,
oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and even
sulphur, r also found between the
stars is proved by Bowen's beauti-
full recent discovery that the neba-
hum lines arise from these very
elements.
SO. That these atom-building
processes can not take place under
the conditions of temperature and
pressure existing in the sun and
stars, the heats of these bodies haV-
ing to be maintained presumably by
the atom-annihilating processes
postulated by Jeans and Eddington
as taking place there.
4. All this says nothing at all
about the second law Of thermo-
dynamics, but it does contain a bare
suggestion that if atom formation
out of hydrogen is taxing place all
through space, as it seems to. be
doing, it may be that the hydrogen
somehow is being replenished there,
too, from the only form of energy
that We know to be all the time
leaking out from the stars to In
stellar space, namely, radiant en-
ergy."

chances and her people have made
heroic sacrifices.

DR.. CALDWELL'S
WAY helps any
ChiId's Bowels

Often, this simple prescription brings
the first natural, complete bowel &C
ton a child has had in weeks. And
the entire system benefits from its
gentle aid!
FeverishneSs, biliousness, headaches
simply disappear when Syrup Pepsin
is used. The bowels become regular
and remain that way. Appetite be-
comes hearty; the digestion becomes
more complete; energy and strength
are restored.
Nothing you can give a bilious, half
sick, constipated child-or take your
self when your bowels need help-will
do as much for you.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
prescription for the bowels, written by
q famous physician-one whose record
of over $500 birth cases without loss
of one mother or baby is believed
unique in American medical history.
No wonder DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin Is ideal for women and children.
But it Is equally effective for the
bowels of robust men. Whether you're
only occasionally constipated or chron-
ically that way, 1t will cleanse, regulate
your bowels harmlessly and In a hurry.
All dr~ugstores have the big bottles.

acre of forest land within the state.
With other funds amounting to $780,
400, the total expenditures for routes
of transportation from appropriations
to the forest service in Montana rep
resent somewhat more than 81 cents

MONEY ALLOTTED
FOR ROAD WORK
5000 WILL BE USED ON THREE
INDIAN RESERVATIONS IN
MONTANA, REPORT SAYS

Announcement was made recently
by Representative Scott Leavitt that
1884, 900 Of the $4,000 appropriation
for road work In the Indian service
carried in the regular Interior de-
partment appropriation act has been
allotted to the seven Indian reserva-
lions in Montana and that $1,000 Of
the $100,00 emergency appropriation
In the first deficiency act has been
allotted to three Of these reservations.
The Blackfeet reservation, for the
first year Of q two-year program COW
ering three roads from Glacier Park
to Browning, Glacier Park to Heart
Butte and Browning to Heart Butte
gets $4,000. The Fort Belknap res
ervation gets $4,000 for the first Of q
two-year program on a road from
Agency to Hayes. A two-year program
on the Rocky Boy reservation will be
started by a first year expenditure OF
$40, 900. The Flathead reservation re-
ceives $4,000 for a road from Agency
to Dixon. For general construction
repair and maintenance, the Fort Peck
and Tongue River reservations get
SIS, 900 each and the Crow reservation
$4,000.
Congressman Leavitt stated second
allotments for the two-year programs
at Blackfeet, Fort Belknap and Rocky
Boy will be taken care Of with road
money available for the fiscal year be-
ginning in 1882 and that in addition
to these construction items $4,000 Il
allotted for general road work on ths
Fort Belknap reservation, $4,000 OF
the Tongue River reservation and 2,00t
on the Rocky Boy reservation under
the emergency act.
Besides securing adequate highwa.
development, these funds are intended
to furnish labor to the Indians ant

Schlitz Introduces a
VitaliZed Malt Syrup

Now it's "vitalized malt syrup" The
Schlitz Brewing company has just an
nounced it-malt syrup treated by a
new and original ultraviolet ray
process.
BY installing ultraviolet ray equip
ment, Schlitz is nov able to irradiate
all malt syrup manufactured-both in
cans and in bulk. Ultraviolet rays
have the same energy-producing value
as sunshine and the new Schlitz process
enables the company to seal this energy
right in the can.
Ultraviolet ray treatment has been
perfected for certain food products but
never before for malt syrup. Schlitz
officials feel that its adoption to malt
syrup manufacture is q notable step
forward. They point out that sun
shine is one of the greatest stimulants
to the health and growth Of plants,
animals and humans - and that
through the progress of chemists and
research men. this value can now be
added to malt syrup.
Although the new process has just
been announced publicly, Schlitz re-
search chemists have been working on
it for several months. The secret was
very carefully guarded, however, and
only q small circle of workers knew
that experimental work was in prog
reSS.
After the research department was
thoroughly satisfied that malt syrup
could be successfully processed with
ultraviolet rays, the experiment was
carried still further. Vitalized malt
syrup was shipped to several selected
markets without any announcement OF
publicity Of any kind. This plan was
adopted to test the effect Of the new
process IN sales.
When the results were compiled, II
was found that sales In the selected
territories had shown a striking In
crease. This indicated to Schlitz off,
