ME battle over the nature of the cosmc ray one
of the chief attractions of the scientific world
during the last five years. to be drawing to
close. 1t is beginning to look now as though these
were the facts in the case:
First-The cosmic rays originate in the distant
spiral nebulae.
Second-The original or primary cosmic ray con-
Slsts OF protons. These the positive particles
which constitute the nuclei of hydrogen atoms
Thrd-These primary rays passing through the
nterstear cloud the extremely thin mist of matter
which exists between the stars of our galaxy gen.
crates secondary cosmc rays. These secondary ravs
consist of poitrons and electrons. evenly balanced
The foregoing is summary of the conclusions
reached by Dr. Thomas H Johnson one of the fore
most students of cosmic rays
During the summers of 1888 and 1884 under the
orectlon OF the coSmlc ray committee of the Car
neg1e Institution, Dr. johnson made cosmic ray
studies IN Peru, Mexico, the Canal Zone and Col
erparts Of the electron the nuclei of hydrogen atoms

IN cosmic ray studies of DR.. r. A. Millikan and Dr.
A. H. Compton. There have, however been other
researchers in the field, notably DR.. johnson and
Dr. F. G. W. Swami, director of the Bartol Research
Foundation.
The spiral nebulae in which Dr. johnson believes
the cosmic rays originate. look in the telescope ike
the pinwhees shot off on the Fourth of July Actu-
ally, however, they are great aggregatons Of stars
like our own galaxy or milky way
1t is believed that if person stood upon one of
the spiral nebulae our own milky way would prevent
the same pinwheel appearance in his telescope Each
spiral contains about 20 billion stars.
At present more than million of these spirals
are known
DR. JOHNSON has worked out the theory to ex-
IL plain how the rays moving through inter-gal-
actic space could attain their tremendous velocity
His conclusions to the nature of the rays is
based upon analysis of the drectional effects
perienced'n measuring the rays in various ATTITUDES
and longitudes. Our earth is gigantic magnet
rounded by huge magnetic field. The incoming
rays must pass through this field
This analysis indicates that the particles Of which
the cosmc rays composed practically all
positively charged particles. This being the case,
they might be either POSITIONS the positive coun-
terparts of the electrons the nuclei of hydrogen
atoms or they might be alpha particles, the nuclei
of helium atoms.
Dr. johnson concludes that it Is most likely that

particles because it does not likely that they
could possess the necessary penetrating power. Pro-
tons likely than POSITIONS because they

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
Death Will Not Have Me"

Death VIII NOT nave VIC
IN Napoleon's palace at
Fontainebleau the eve
ming Of April II came to an
end amid the most fright
full detection. When about
to sign his final downfall,
the Emperor fell into so
deep a meditation that, his
eyes staring, he already
seemed to be in another
world.
When he emerged from 1t, he
calmly discussed the cases Of sui
eide that marked the end of other
great men, his compeerS, and TO
define their reasons, according to
the diversity of ages and beliefs.
His attendants became more and
more anxious.
At IL at night, the silence in
the palace was suddenly broken
by people coming and going. The
valet Hubert. who slept in a
closet adjoining his masters bed
room, heard Napoleon pour some
drops into a glass of water and
gulp it down in all haste.
He listened in anguish. Silence,
at first, presently followed by
groans.
The Emperor had attempted to
poison himself with powder he
had been keeping IL his dressing
case ever since the retreat from
Russia. The Due de Whence, the
Due de BasSane, Caulaincourt,
and Maret fastened to the spot,
followed by the physician WAN.

clared the sufferer to the physi-
clan; you know what 1 have
taken"
1T is contrary to the will of
God" the Emperor at last de-
clared. and he signed his abdica-
ton.
OF this tragic scene nothing
transpires, save a deep disgust
with mankind, in the letter writ

such projects as rural electrical
ton soil erosion, reforestation and
subsistence homesteads. These are
all pet projects of the President
and all bitterly opposed by Sem
ate old guard leaders.
Indignant over the undercover
sabotage, Mr.. Ccstigan exposed
the situation on che Senate floor.
UARTER GLASS, chairman of
~ the Approprl ations Committee,
who throughout the debate on the
bill had been daluning it with
faint praise, promised to remedy
tie matter by having an amend
ment drawn.
That seemed fair enough. And
it would have been except for one
thing Carter's super-Sensitive
dignity.
Following his discovery of the
sabotaging language, Mr.. Costigan
had obtained from PWA attorneys
a corrective amendment. And
when Mr.. Glass promised to have
such provision prepared, SEN
ator Costigar gave him this
amendment.
Next morning. prior to the re-
converting OF the Senate, Mr..
Glass received a copy of an
amendment from the White
House.
Examining it lie found it was
an exact duplicate of the one
given him by Senator CoStigan.
The explanation for this was OBJ
vious-both had come from the
PWA.
ITO Mr.. Glass this was a deep
Il personal outrage.
That the PWA should have
given Mr.. Costigan an amend
ment before he, the chairman of
the committee, had seen it was
an affront to his dignity.
Senator Glass few into a froth-
ing rage. refused to consider the
amendment, announced that the
matter would be dealt with in a
separate bill-which he would
sponsor after the work-relief
measure had been disposed of.
While 20 million people wait
on relief rolls, senatorial dignity
must iced upon what makes it

tween the mountains. It served as a resting
place for other migrants who later moved on
to the South, but Ko-hoh used it for winter
home. Nature had made it entirely inacces-
sible to man. 1t provided security, and by
some strange chemistry gave certain amount
of open water, free of ice, in even the most
severe winters.
The wind which had been steady, vigorous
and helpful swung with increasing violence
out of the west. Banks of ominous black
clouds obscwed the setting sun while Ko-hoh

as sure of it as a mariner would be of hiss

He turned desperately into the force of the
storm; Oostomac and the others closing in
behind him. They fought the fifty-mile gale
for full three hours yet Ko-hoh sensed that
they had done little more than remain at a
standstill. The ever-inGeasing wind pressed
against him like a moving, fluid wall that
could not be resisted. His wings, that had
been in steady motion for more than twenty
hours, were weary. He turned more to the
left, getting the wind from behind and to the
right, and with its help eased the terrific

The swans flight was as true as charted

dwindle at its source Below moved pano-
rama of tumbled rocks and lofty mountains,
of bold, fast streams and shining ice-cold
lakes that glimmered like tiny mirrors. They
flew so high above the earth as to be invisible
to the unaided eye of man yet their trum-

sional woodsman, who dared the wilderness
below, might look upward and swear that a
hundred or thousand birds we're passing.
Yet there we're only six - Ko-hoh and Cos

Gulf, the largest and most glorious waterfowl
ever to grace the skies was passing forever.

At last the leaders wings began to

all of his flock save this one Cygnet were
in his wake. The remaining bird swan

1t was Oostomac who first turned

Yet this one cygnet could not make
the long flight. A wing tip, broken in
an encounter with an arctic fox, had not
healed. And Ko-hoh and Oostomac
would not leave one of their flock.
Two bright, beady eyes watched
them from the nearby shore. These eyes
looked out from a triangular shaped
head that surmomted long body, set
on short. stubby legs, and covered with
soft, dark. lustrous fur. The animal was
an Alaska mink. largest of all the
minks, as much at home in the water

the wolverine to the ermine, he knew
nothing of fear and often killed not only

bird to follow them. As they did the
mink slipped into the water, his ssinuous,
muscular body weaving like that of

trimpeted, note of fierce alarm in his
voice. The cygnet whirled; his eyes
sighted the predator and he dived -
too late. The mink followed, his head
forward, his cruel. deadly jaws agape.
The sharp, scissor-like teeth closed on
the neck of the young swan.
Oostomac sensed the tragedy, and
