 "I'll pinch myself, so I can feel if I'm awake. You look so real! How we all could be changed like this, l cannot understand"
 And then the main cowboyscame out and promptly said. T have no doubt that you would like to sec some stunts that real cowboys can do.
 I have with me a little rope, which I will swing around. hope that I don't fall down on the trick plan to show to you"
 Hey, wait a minute" Scouty said. Please let me have that rope, instead. I once was with a circus where some tricks were taught to me-"
 He spread the rope out in one swoop and jumped around with in a loop. The cowboys were amazed. One said, You're clever as can be-"

Just as the moon rose in the sky. the cowboy said, Well, youngsters, I think it is time to get some rest. What say we go to bed?
 "Run to your shacks and sleep real tight. Tomorrow you will feel all right" "Oh, gee, a bit of sleep sounds good ot me-" wee Duncy said.
 All through the night they slept real sound. At dawn wee Scouty walked around and woke up al. the Tiny boys. "A big surprise" said he.

shown that these remarkable rays come
to the earth from far outside the earth,
and are affected by the earth's mag
netic field.
This implies that they are mostly
electrical in character, and recent
studies have identified an important
component Of the rays with positive
and negative electrons. There are, how
ever, other components of whose ma
ture we are not yet certain.
"A fascinating point is that the rays
appear to come from such great dis
tances and such remote time as to
suggest the possibility through their
study of learning something regarding
the ancient history of our universe.
More Immediately important is the
fact that the study of these rays af-
fords our most powerful tool for
extending Our knowledge of electro
dynamics into the regions of high
energy.
"Cosmic rays are far more pene-
trating kind than any known before,
being perceptible at depth hundreds
of feet below the ground. They bring
into the earth a total amount of heat
somewhat smaller than that of star
light; but the energy of an individual
cosmic ray is thousands of times
greater than the most powerful ray
that man has produced.
These rays enter the earth from far
beyond its atmosphere. The fact that
they come nearly uniformly from all
directions seems impossible to recon-
cile with the view that they originate
in the Sun or the Solar System, or even
the Milky Way. They thus probably
come from remote. intergalactic space.
"A. S. Eddington has, in fact, cal
culated that if once started, rays as
penetrating as the cosmic rays should
continue to course through space with
out appreciable absorption for thou

Europe the scientific spirit - the
eagerness to learn from Nature her
truths, and to put these truths to the
use of mankind. The rapid change and
Improvement in our mode of living
since that time can certainly be traced
to the consequences of the develop
ment of this spirit of science.
"Almost everything we touch is. in
part. due to scientific investigation. At
almost every stage of the development
of the automobile and the steam or
electric train, science was called upon
1t made possible the elevator, without
which the skyscrapers of the modern
city could not exist.
Typewriters, printing presses, the
radio - all have had their scientific
development. At home we sit down to
table on chairs produced by scien-
ti6cally conceived tools. The table
cloth was woven on scientifically con-
structed machinery. The very dishes
from which we eat were made possible
by experimentation with high temper
atures, so that the ancient art of the
potter might keep step with our age.
Indeed, from our conversations
over the telephone to the drinking of
pasteurized milk. our whole days life
is inextricably bound up with scientific
research.
"The benefits of science. however,
are not only these material ones. Of
perhaps greater significance is the
change that the growth of science has
made in mans attitude toward life.
1t is frequently overlooked that men
did not always know that we live in a
world that can be counted on "a
world that obeys laws.
During the Dark Ages following
the Greek civilization. there were a
thousand years through which credu-
hty in all forms of magic and witch
craft prevailed. People thought
