Germs Made Visible

DR. KENDALL'S discovery has
- been hailed as the greatest
since the days of PaSteur, when it
first was demonstrated that bacteria,
were the causes of many diseases.
DIR. Kendall, who is a member of
the faculty Of the Northwestern uni
versity medical school, showed that
disease germs existed in different
forms.
Until DR.. Kendall's work. manv
disease germs had never been seen,
These invisible germs were known
as tn filtrabl viruSs, since they would
pass through the finest filters.
DR.. Kendall developed a special
protein medium in which to grow
germs. He also showed that it
was possible to turn known visible
germs into invisible sorts.
AS a result of his work, it now is
believed that many germs, perhaps
all, lead dual lives, existing at times
in the invisible form, and at 9TH
erS in the visible form.
An important discovery growing
out of DR.. Kendall'S work concerns
the nature Of bacteriopilage, the
invisible filter-passing substance
which in past experiments seemed
to have the power of destroying
germs. When DR.. Kendall placed
bacteriophage in his special medium.
he obtained cultures of the germs
which the "phage" is supposed to
destroy.

New Tools for Science

NOW OOIO IOI OOlOIlOC
A MOTHER important discovery
L n of 1881 was the new micro
scope developed by DR.. Rife of San
Diego. This microscope, said to be
the most powerful ever built, is ex-
pected to yield new secrets in many
realms of science.
DR.. Kendall, it is reported, has
been using the new microscope re-
Gently in his studies of germs.
The year 1881 was an important
one in the development Of new t5ols
for science.
In addition to the Rife micro
scope, these include the DE GraaR
generator, a Simplified static cleo
trio machine which, it is believed.
will deliver electrical potentials Of
zoe, 100000 volts, and the solar fur
mace which concentrates sunlight
to give temperature of 10000 de-
grees, the temperature of the suns
surface.
Drs. LANCE and Brasch of the
University Of Berlin succeeded in
building a powerful X-ray tube
capable of operating at 100000
volts. The tube is of special con-
struction, consisting of alternate
rings of paper, rubber and alumni
mum.
Another important discovery con-
sisted of a method Of generating
X-rays without any X-ray tube
at all.
The new method was developed
by M. G. Reboul of the physics
laboratory at Montpelier, France.
Reboul forced electrical currents
through substances like alum, which
are highly resistant to the cleo
trical current.
X-rays were produced, perhaps
as the result of the substance by
the electrons of the electrical cur

the mire because we are all creatures
of habit. Some phrase such as mo
entangling alliances" sticks in our
mind long after it has any meaning.
1t is as if man, going down for
the third time, were to explain:
"Say what you will, I won't go near
the water" And, unfortunately,
Nicholas Murray Butler himself is
not yet free from an addiction.
He said in Philadelphia: "If ma
tional prosperity is to be restored
and to continue, new and natural
economic unitieS must be created
by overlapping political boundaries,
now in one direction, now in an
other, and now in many directions
at once"

Humanity Frightened

XXTE are not going to get any,
w where with disarmament, the
League Of Nations, the world court
or other activities designed to bring
about reign of law, until the
economic atmosphere has been
cleared.
Civilized humanity is frightened,
and has been ever since the war
began. 1t is frightened not alone
because of the awful things that
have happened, but because of the
still more awful things which it
imagines CAL happen; not alone be-
cause of what it has suffered, but
because of the innumerable ways in
which it has been disappointed.
Outside of a few camp followers
and munitions contractors, no one
got anything of value out of the
war, and the ensuing peace has
turned out equally futile thus far

Mag Go Do10p as 1875
Chief Scientific Achieve
ment.
r EFT us have one more look at
IL 1881 before turning our atten-
ton to what the scientists are do
ing and promise to do in 1892.
1t is not easy to say what the OUT
standing scientific event of 1881 was.
The task in 1890 was simpler. The
discovery Of the planet, Pluto, was
the scientific sensation of that year.
1t isn't every-or every century for
that matter-that a new planet is
discovered.
The event which one remembers
best in the scientific world of 1881
will depend largely upon ones own
interests. Some, perhaps, will re-
member 1881 as the year in which
Niagara Falls got new face.
Before daylight on Jan. Is, 1881,
the most beautiful part of the Amer
lean Falls, the famous bridal veil''
between Goat Island and the Amer
lean shore, was marred by a gaping
U-shaped indentation.
The change, the greatest in the
appearance Of the falls since it was
first seen by the white man, resulted
from the breaking away of thou
sands of tons of rock from the rim
of the falls. The gap made by the
break is $50 feet wide and about 200
feet deep.
1t suggests to biologists that esti-
mates of the age of Niagara Falls
based on the gradual wearing away
of the rim my give the falls too
great an age.
But while there we're many scien-
tific events and discoveries, it is
quite possible that the future may
prove that the most important one
in 1881 was the discovery made by
Professor Arthur I. Kendall in the
realm of bacteriology.

DRACTICALL all the good
Il speeches delivered in this coun-
try during the last four years have
been made by Nicholas Murray But
Ter. His address before the League
of Nations Association in Philadel-
phia last week was superb in its
clear white passion for international
understanding and cooperation.
DR.. Butler assailed the folly OF the
isolationists. He outlined the tragic
consequences of tariff barriers. His
voice rose as h. denounced those
who "object violently to the dole
when it is in the form of payment
to an individual without employ
ment, but applauded it as wise and
patriotic when it is in the form of
a bounty to themselves and their
own undertaking."
And next November Nicholas
Murray Butler will go to the polls
and vote for Herbert Hoover.
So far as history records, DR.. But
Ter never has made any rational
adjustment between his own eco
non1ic beliefs and his political affili-
ations. DR.. Butler opposes prohibi-
ton, high tariffs, big ornaments
and isolation at all times except
during election campaigns, when he
Steadfastly supports the Republican
party. Even so meager a candidate
as that of Colonel Darlington could
not drive the president of Columbia
into party irregularity.

TXTHO stands against the re-
w peal of Volsteadism? Who
but Hoover! Who stands against
tariff reform? Who but Hoover!
And, indeed, there is not a single
item in the creed of DR.. Butler
which does not find its fiercest
opponents within the party which
he has helped to keep in power.
1t could be argued that Nicholas
Murray Butler dwells in the camp
of the enemy as a sort of spy,

he played the part of the good

Not for the world would I cast
any aspersions on the sincerity of
DR.. Buffers work for world peace
and world stability. His words are,
as I have said, not only clear but
passionate. It is his political activi-
ties which seem to me perfunctory
He will, I assume, have his tongue
in his cheek when he votes for
Hoover. At the moment that is
about all that millions of Americans
can put in their cheek.

Debts Block Peace

nEBT forms the basis of fear
~ and confusion. AS long as it
hangs like shadow on the human
horizon, and as long as it is re-
Elected in constantly rising taxes on
the one hand, and in declining
commerce on the other, just so long
will it remain an obstacle to peace.
Peace, whether for individuals or
nations, can have no other solid
foundation than peace of mind.
That is what the world lacks today.
There is not civilized country on
earth but what is tense with anx-

Another WARP

TROUGH It has been twelve
Il years since the battle ended,
the civilized world still is laboring
in the throes of misery.
Though it seems incredible, there
are millions of people toying with
the idea that another war might
make conditions better.
There are millions more toying
with the thought that revolution is
possible, if not desirable.

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATTON

YER since the first of all SCI
II entists came down from the
mountains and started talking IN
four-bit words, the ordinary citizen
has been storing up lot Of ques-
tons that he would like to ask if
he only could get the scientist to
listen TO him.
Usually he has to keep still, Tor
scientists aren't always good lis
teners. But relief has come, at last,
in the form of Riddle of Science, /"
a fat book in which Sir j. Arthur
Thomson discusses about all OF the
questions foolish and otherwise)
which have been bothering us I'M
instructed laymen.
To be sure, not all Of the ques-
tons are given definite answers.
Yet that only indicates that the
author knows his science-for sci
ence is lot less cocksure about
things that we often suppose.
In many cases it has to admit,
eve don't really know" and the
writer of this book hasn't been
afraid to make that admission
wherever necessary.
The questions discussed cover a
wide range. How did life begin?
What, for that matter, is life? Is
evolution still going on? What is
sex, and why? What are those hor-
mones and chromosomes we hear so
much about?
Then there are the riddles Of
natural history: Why a cats fur
stands up when a dog appears, how
migrating birds find their way, what
instinct is and how it works, and
so on.
And, just to show that he can be
broadminded, Sir Arthur winds UP
by touching on such problems as
telepathy, crystal-gazing, clairvoy-
ance and the like.
All in all, it's an entertaining
book. It is published by Liveright
and sells for $3.50.

I'm never going to be sorry about
anything again, Dan. Not eYerl
Neither am T."
Like happy children they laughed
aloud. The astounding thing was
that each Of them really believed It.
The little place over on Locust
street proved TO De exactly as Dan
had described il. II was not fancy
in the least. The sign on the win
dow read "Schroeders Restaurant. F"
Charlie Schroeder, the proprietor,
came forward TO meet them. He
greeted Dan cordially and led the
way TO a table in the rear Of the
long. narrow room.
IT'S a fine evening, Mr.. Phillips.
Great weather we're having these
days. Takes people out Of doors
makes them hungry.
You ike this table? It's all
right, yes? Now then. maybe you'll
have some OF the pot roast and
noodles"
Schroeder was a short, fat man
with ford cheeks and small eyes
that seemed to crinkle with perpet-
ual good humor.
His manner was almost that Of
a host. He bowed and smiled at
Cherry when Dan introduced her,
then fastened to greet some new
corners.
THE restaurant was about half
i filed. There seemed to be more
men than women at the tables. The
furniture was all of dark brown
wood and there was a dark brown
wainscoting half way up the walls.
Ceiling lights cast mellow glow
over the room that had seemed
dark when Cherry entered. AS her
eyes became accustomed to the dim
light she found it restful.
The tables had crisp white covers
and no flowers. Walters, carrying
heavily laden trays, set down dishes
that we're thick and generous-sized.
Dan glanced up from the menu
