M AIRY JOYCE, CAPT. STRONG
 LEAVE SOON

Mary Joyce and her famous dog team, who travelled overland from Taku to Fairbanks and returned by plane, and M. McDougal of Tulse- quah, have engaged passage in the North Canada Air Express Pilgrim transport plane flown by L. F. Barr, leaving Juneau next Friday after noon, for Twin Glaciers Lodge at 'Taku.
 Capt William Strong and his as sistant Walter Barron, who expected to fly to Taku aboard the plane, will go by gasboat tomorrow instead, due to the difficulty in securing delivery at the airport of a quantity of ex- plosives, which will make up a part of the ton and a half of freight which Capt. Strong intends to take to Taku with him. The gasboat Va kobi, Capt. Tom Smith, is reported to have been chartered for the trip to Taku.

DUELISTS WHO MISSED AIM;
 FACE ARREST
Premier and Peasant Party Leader Fight Blood
 less Encounter

BUDAPEST, Hungary, April B. Premier Julius Goemboes and Tibol Eckhardt, Hungarian Peasant Party leader, fought a duel with pistols firing at each other from 25 paces and both missing, as result ot which both men face possible ar rest.
 Each man fired single shot.
 Glaring at each other from the tanbark floor of the historic Fran cis Joseph Cavalry Barracks on the outskirts of Budapest, the shots came simultaneously. The combat ants turned their backs on eacf other and stamped away, unrecon- ciled.
 Eckhardt challenged the Premier after heated changes during par liamentary committee session. Po- lice expect, however, to be obliged to arrest both, as result of their violation of the anti-dueling law. A small fine is usually imposed.

default in interest was issued yester-

Officials of the railroad said had
the trust company been allowed to de-
clare the issue due now instead of at
maturity in 1852, a provision in the
mortgage permitting bondholders to
demand payment in Dutch guilders
at the current rate of interest would
have required the railroad to pay
$50. .637 900, or about 10 per cent more

Laboratory and Study.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

sun or the Milky Way is based on the
fact that they apparently approach the
earth uniformly from all directions.
Outside the earths atmosphere there is
no equal distribution of matter within
the Milky Way galaxy where such rays
could originate The eXtragalactic
nebulae, however, are appropriately dis
tributed to show this effect. DR.. Comp
ton suggested that most of the rays
originate "at an effective distance of be-
tween 1OO0,0OO,oO0 and 10O00,00o,000
light years"
There appears to be an effect on the
observed intensity of the coSmic rays
due to the rotation of the Milky Way,
Dr. Compton said. According to
astronomers. this rotation carries us in
a definite direction at speed OF about
300 kilometers a second. This should
cause a daily variation of cosmic ray
intensity, following sidereal time,
through a range of about l per cent. if
the radiation is coming from outside
the galactic system. Apparently there
is just such variation, DR.. Compton
said.
Efforts to learn how cosmic rays are
produced have been unsuccessful, he
stressed. Among the more plausible
theories are that they are superradioac-
tive particles emitted at the initial ex-
plosion of the expanding universe, that
they are electrons accelerated by elec-
tromagnetic induction from sun spots on
giant stars, or that they owe their ener-
gieS to the gravitational attraction of the
universe.
These rays. DR.. Compton said, should
prove extremely useful tools to scien-
fists. He said: The immense individual
energies of these rays, some of them
with an erg of energy for single atomic
projectile, give them a unique place in
the physicists atomic artillery. Already
they have been used in the discovery of
POSITIONS. They will be used to extend
knowledge of the earth's magnetic field
high above the atmosphere and to test
electrodynamics in a region hitherto in
accessible. In astronomy they are a
powerful means of studying the rota-
ton of the galaxy and the ancient his
tory of the universe. In biology it is
not impossible that they play an impor-
tant part in the spontaneous variations
upon which evolutionary changes de-
pend"
One perplexing recent problem, DR..
Compton stressed, is that the high energy
cosrnic ray particles do not excite as
much radiation as is required by present
electrical theory. This will probably re-
quire, he said, reaching extension
Of the present theory of electrodynamics.
