Joseph Henry's Works to Be
COMMUNICATED.

Albany, N. Yin the summer Of
1882, one hundred years ago, a
young man, then a professor at AL
bany academy, was about to startle
the scientific world with his great
est and first experiment in the field
of electrical research.
Seated in his laboratory in the
academy building at Albany, Joseph
Henry manipulated queer gadgets
and coils. From his laboratory a
wire was stretched to the top of
the old Van Vechten building. Out
of this queer combination of CAD
gets, coils and wires, came a spark.
A shout rose from the spectators
atop the Van Vechten building, in
forming Henry his experiment had
been successful Rapid communi-
cation between distant places had
been established and a new field for
research opened.

year to celebrate the centennial in
an effort to restore to the public

Henry was born in Albany in
1899. His early life would hardly
lead anyone to believe that he was
destined to blaze the trail in the
field of science. He read novels.

He became a professor of math-
ematics in 1926 in Albany academy
from which he had been graduated
years before. 1t was here that he
seriously took up the experiments
which were later to make his name
famous in scientific circles.
By means of an electrical impulse
he was able to ring a bell at

time" Lipman pointed out. that
soil bacteria play an important part
in the chemical transformation OF
ammonia to nitrogen in the form of
nitrates. In this activity the bac-
terlq serve as adjuncts of plant life
and are extremely necessary allies
of the farmer.
But none of these bacteria has
been definitely shown to carry
through the entire operation alone.
The usual process is for one type
of bacteria to turn ammonia into
nitrites, and for another type to
carry the process from nitrites to
nitrates.
This new bacterium, however,
has the ability to complete the
process alone and to do 1t much
more quickly than the commonly
known soil facteria."

Some friends of mine, who are in
terested in a musical show. invited
me TO the dress rehearsal. Iwould
not have missed ii for worlds. Any
one who never has witnessed
dress rehearsal of a musical show,
like the man who never suffered
from delirium tremens, 'ain't seen
nothin'." TO watch the director alone
is worth many times the price of
admission. When someone inadver-
tently let down the drop for the
next scene on the heads of the
chorus doing a dance number. none
of the cast was killed, but it seemed
that the director was going to die
of hydrophobia. When, in the
midst of a duet, the stage hand
parted the velvet curtain and stuck
his head through, the director suf-
fered from form of throat paraly-
sis. He could make only weird
sounds, while his cheeks appeared
to initiate after the manner of
red balloon. His countenance was
still so fiery that 1t shone In the
dark when the electrician missed
his cue and gave the performance a
black-out instead of the expected
moonlight. His language was even
more flaming than his face. And
what saved him from apoplexy
when the curtain stuck, | still can
not imagine. No director of a mu-
steal show would seem TO be good
insurance risk. 1t didn't even seem to
have a soothing effect when the
treadmill failed to work and the
horse galloped off stage into the
wings.
The dress rehearsal of a musical
show generally lasts from around

every precaution against it's spread

Colds pull down body resistance
and pave the way for flu and all its

The safest course to follow is that

the proper time. Its effect is to
reduce the number and spread of
colds-to lessen the severity and
duration of those that do come.
Briefly, it is this:
To Prevent Many Colds
