would apparently throw the man
radiation" out OF the radiation scale
altogether and make it something
hitherto unsupported in nature. DR..
schippell referred The Star representa-
tive to the Bureau Of Standards for
verification Of these figures. The speed
measurements, she said, had been made
there.
If so. they were made unofiicially,
unknown to bureau ofiicials. INQUIRY
at the Bureau OF Standards revealed
that officials there never had heard Of
such measurements, or Of any such
radiation Any man who actually
found and measured such q speed in
nature, If he made his discoveries
known in verifiable form, would go
down in history as perhaps the
greatest scientific discoverer Of modern
times. Dr. Schippell referred the re-
porter only generally to the Bureau
Of Standards"
This is radiation. she said, Of in
finitely minute particles known as
"etherites" DR.. Bluth referred to
them as "photophons." They are, he
said, about the same as electrons. At
the same time he made an announce
ment which. If it can be verified,
seems to constitute one of the most
modern times. This smallest particle
of electrical energy. he said, can be
and has been seen by the human eye.
The ordinary microscope, he said, will
not reveal 1t, but it can be seen by
the use Of the best available com.
pound microscope with special spectro-
scopic instruments" 1t can be seen
even then, he said, "in the dark field
only" In order to be visible 1t must
be magnified even more than . thou
sand times" Inquiry at the eeophysi-
cal laboratory of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition Of Washington gave the infor-
nation that the electron-which DR..
Bluth describes the photophon as
something like"-might conceivably
be visible II r1agnifled a billion times
Here is another confusion which the
lay mind must refer to more COM
petent judges. Inquiry Of some Of the
foremost experts on atomic physics
now living revealed that they are
equally confused on this matter. In
fact. they intimated that DR.. Bluth
must be mistaken.
Discoverer Neglected.
The discoverer Of such an extraordi-
nary sensational principle Of nature OBJ
viously has been grossly neglected.
There Is no mention Of his name in any
physics textbook This may be due to
the fact that he apparently was not .
member OF the true human race, but be-
longed to the species homo neander-
thalis-or possibly to the recently dis
covered homo siniensis. 1t Is not en-
tirely clear. in fact. that he was not old
homo pithecanthropus himself. the
great-great-granddaddy Of all the living
and extinct species Of the genus h2mo.
For, DR.. Bluth explained. the discov-
desert and about 100000 B. c." Clear
evidence has been gathered that man
knew about this radiation then, Dr.
Bluth says. That was about the time
when the grotesque Neanderthalers were
wandering over Europe and Asia and
long before the age in which archaic
ologists have been abe to locate skeletal
remains Of true man. DR.. Ales Hrdlicka,
curator of physical anthropology at the
Smithsonian Institution, and regarded
as the foremost American authority on
ancient man, places the period Of true
mans existence en- earth at considerably
less than 100000 years No skeletal re-
mains appear until much later.
The perfection Of the honorary" ma

The claims for the machine remain
modest. 1T Is not claimed" says the
description in the official program of

The "man-ray" is only one Of the
developments in naturopathic
science which are being described. DR..
Frederick w. Collins of Newark de-
scribed yesterday an almost equally ef-
fective method Of diagnosing practically
anything through the appearance Of the
eye.
