nEVICES that go back to classical antiquity may

the interior Of the atom during 1884.
It is a strange fact that the newest tools OF sci
ence, tools which promise to be more powerful than
any yet turned against the atom bark back CEN
turtles in their simplicity.
For some years scientists have realized that the
atom could be attacked only with powerful electric
currents and fields, penetrating rays like those Of
the X-ray and radium, and high temperatures For
this reason huge electric generators and condensers
like those used by the late SteinmetZ to produce
artificial lightning were built These, in their turn,
were used to operate X-ray tubes ranging from six
to twelve feet in length. Gradually, X-ray tubes
obtained so powerful that their rays began TO
resemble those of radium
At the same time, the CHIEF hope for high tenn
peratures was placed upon the electric furnace.

saw the advantage of returning to simpler methods.
The Greeks are credited with having discovered
that if you rubbed piece of amber it developed

Centuries later, the discovery of the Greeks be-
came known as static electricity" 1t found
that static electricity could be developed in many
ways, as, for example, rubbing a glass rod with
silk cloth You try another interesting expert

Benefit payments under the
crop reduction program constitute
the first line of defense. In the
twenty-three drought states the
government will pay $4,000, 900

Public works and emergency

ahead to increase farm purchas-

distribution of public works funds
was made with an eye to the need
of the drought-plagued farmer for

keep expense down.
