Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ :

THE confusion existing in the world of
physics with respect to many phases of atomic
theory is made worse by the announcement from
England of the probable existence of a third type
of hydrogen atom.
The new atom has not yet been isolated but no
less authority than Lord Rutherford is response
bic for the announcement of its existence.
For generations, physicists and chemists assumed
that all hydrogen atoms were alike The hydrogen
atom was known to be the lightest of all atoms and
it was assumed TO be the simplest. The nucleus of
the hydrogen atom consisted of one proton. Around
this nucleus revolved one electron.
Then a few years ago came the discovery of the
heavy hydrogen atom, atom whose nucleus was
twice as heavy as that of the previously known
hydrogen atom
The nucleus of this heavy hydrogen atom
physicists reasoned, would have to consist of two
protons and electron. To this nucleus they gave
the of the deuton.
1t is important to note that the chemical ee-
ment Whlch follows hydrogen in the atomic table is
helium. The nucleus of helium atom consists of
four protonS and two electrons and is known TO
physicists as alpha particle.
7 ORD RUTHERFORD and his associates have
IL been performing experiments in which deutons
the nuclei OF heavy hydrogen atoms are used to
lombard other substances.
The substances bombarded were all solids which
were themselves hydrogen compounds and which
contained only heavy hydrogen atoms.
In the experiment, Lord Rutherford and his asso-
ciateS found that the bombarded subStances-am-
nlonium chloride ammonium sulphats and orthe-
pnosphoric acid-gaVe OF protonS Of nuclei OF ord-
nary hydrogen atoms.
Remember that these substances had been pre-
pared IN the first place from heavy hydrogen only
These protons, in addition. released with far
more energy than that possessed by the bombarding
deutons.
Two questions Immediately arose. Where did the
protons come from? And where did they get their
energy7 The second question helped to answer the
first.

Your Health
-BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

DOCTORS 1000 years ago did all their medical
~ diagnosis with their eyes, hands, ears noses,
and even their sense of taste. Gradually, however,
instruments were developed to aid these senses.
The doctor of today is surrounded by vast
amount of machinery which is used in diagnosing
and treating disease The instrument with which
We are acquainted is the clinical thermometer.
The first thermometer for measuring changes IN
temperature of the human body, occurs when
there is fever probably developed by an
Italian named Sanctorius in the fifteenth century.
He filled glass tube with expansive liquid which
served to register changes in temperature.
THIS same Sanctorius also weighed the body to
l. find out whether it really was absorbing the
food eaten at a meal.
1t took long time after development of this first
thermometer in the sixteenth century before final
development of the small fever thermometers which
are used today. They were perfected during the
last fifty years.
Now you can have in your home small fever
thermometer which will register, in anywhere from
one-haf TWO minutes the changes that take place
in temperature of the body
Fever Is a symptom that demands medical at
tention. Whenever the temperature rises above 986
degrees for any considerable time whenever there is
rise in the temperature Of the body evening after
evening you should call the attention of your doctor
to the condition that he may locate the Infection
if possible
TN the vast ma ority of cases. fever means infection
Sometimes it is just a small spot in a tonsil or
sinus; it may, however, be tuberculosis malaria.
The counting OF pulse changes is another i'm
pOrtant determination made by DOCTORS and also is
dependent machinery 1t requires the use of
watch which registers the passage of time second
by second
The ordinary pulse beat is from Y to 81 minute.
Slight variations in pulse rate are not important.
Usually IN the presence of fever the pulse rate
is more rapid. 1t is also fast when there is
activity Of the thyroid gland. A rapid beat of the
heart is called tachycardia.
In other instances. for example in the presence
Of fracture Of the skull other Of pressure
on the brain, the pulse rate may be slow. This is
called bradycardia.
epulse beat becomes exceedingly irregular since the
heat Of the pulse is reflection of the beat Of the
heart.

Iago, preaching moral banalities
to bring on murder, turks in the
character of the two men.
Similarly Mourning Becomes
Electra" reflects Sophocles' ruth
less Medea. The men are helpless
instruments of the women's
schemes and there is a mean
weakness behind the stern mask
of Ezra.
THE tired business man and
l. his female prototype were
puzzled and distressed by Mourn
ing Becomes Electra" They had
just reasembled their nerves from
the emotional shock, of Strange
Interlude' when this play reached
them. 1t was taken as a per-
sonal affront and in some places
the play was banned.
Audiences shouted that Mourn
ing Becomes Electra" was not true
to life. Of course, no tragedy is
exactly true to life, the material
is too seleotive and too idealized.
Any study of abnormal persons
does not reflect life exactly, but
it does give a glimpse into hid
den life that reveals more truth
than realism. This drama, like
Strange Interlude," plunges into
the subconscious depths which
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-03-31

have a strong part to play in rul-
ing mems destinies.
ONeill has been accused of en-
ploying melodrama in Mourning
Becomes Electra" Any powerful
clash of emotions and its result
is melodramatic-life exaggerated.
The Greeks and Shakespeare en-
ployed melodrama less obviously
than O'Neill, who was describing a
civilization neither poetic nor
glor1fied.
ONein, actor, wanderer, the
atrical bum and finally play
wright, has had a special gift for
disturbing the public. He ripped
conventional drama to shreds and
created seemingly Impossible
styles. He has brought to drama
devices rarely used before. He
revived the Greek use of masks,
because he believed that there
are certain poses men take on to
face the world. One reflects the
superficial man and one the inner
man.
Y Il
TN The Great God Brown" he
l. uses masks particularly well to
portray a hard, sardonic mask
hiding the sensitive soul of a
dreamer wounded by life, and the
painted, weary mask of a prosti-
tute covering the shrewd and
kindly observant Mother Earth.
He employs the use of sound
to give definite tone to the
play. Sound strikes the thematic
pitch-the whirring noise of the
machines in Dynamo" and the
maddening beat of the tom toms
in Emperor Jones'" The aside"
was revived in Strange Inter-
Jude" to describe the real thoughts
of the characters as against the
spoken word.
O'Neill has waged strong fight
-on behalf of unhappy persons ne
elected by society-the laborer
whose only weapon is Drawn, the
sensitive idealist, and the victims
of mental twists. His artistic
adolescence was spent under the
guidance of "eXpressionism." (Ex-
pressionism is the attempt to
show not what man does, but
What he feels and Thinks. De-
voices Of this school had a strong
social doctrine, attacking the ma
chine age and its evils. There is
an artistic conceit which says
that art prophesies reform. The
dreams of many expressionalistS
have seen reality in present en-
lightened social policies adopted
by various governments.
Stormy tragedy, sweeping irony,
angered demands for an improved
social order have marked Eugene
ONeill as the greatest dramatist
since Ibsen and one who has
completely revolutionized the art
of playwriting.
He has written two plays since
the production of Mourning Be

comes a tolerant humorist scott

OF youth and in the other an
advocate of religion as a possible

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The
federal deficit exceeds 100000 900
at the end of nine months of the
fiscal year, treasury figures showed
today.
Government expenditures for the
current fiscal years from July l,

corresponding period of the previous
fiscal year the deficit was $2,245,-

The deficit continues to fall far
short of the $7,309,0O00OO deficit
estimated by President Roosevelt in
his budget measure in January.
The relatively small actual deficit
compared with the estimate for the
full fiscal year reflected much
