SCIENCE REVEALS
M0LECULE WEIGHT.
Only instrument of Kind in
U. S. Shows Atomic
Structure.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

WILMINGTON, Del, April IA
~weight microscope" a new scientific
instrument for making invisible mole
cules reveal themselves by increasing
their weight 250,000 times was in op-
Grafton today at the science expert
mental station of the Du Pont COM
pany.
This microscope" is a Svedberg
ultracentrifuge, the only one Of its
kind in the United States. It Is a re-
volving steel wheel, 7 inches in di-
ameter, whose edge travels 20 miles a
minute. The wheel is housed in
nearly half ton of 5-inch armor as
protection against its explosion and
the whole apparatus set in an under
ground laboratory.
A new dime placed in a slot near
the edge of this wheel would weigh
half ton and 1-pound mass would
weigh 125 tons.
Placed in Solution.
The scientific objective Is to learn
the invisible atomic structure of the
chemicals of industry and of the So
called life molecules" groups of in
animate atoms which seem to be alive
when they are joined together in the
proper proportions.
The weight microscope" is oper-
ated by placing the staff to be ana
ly0ed in tiny chamber in the edge
of the spinning wheel They are
placed there lin solution" that is, in
a liquid able to keep them suspended
just as the blood keeps its red cor
puscles suspended.
When the wheel revolves, under the
pull of centrifugal force, the suspended
particles grow heavy, like stones The
heaviest move farthest toward the
outer rim of the wheel, separating
from lighter weight molecules.
All Have Same Weight.
With photographs these separations
are analyzed. In this manner it has
been shown that most of the protein
substances used in chemical industry
are giant molecules, made of parts that
all have the same weight, 34,500 units
each on the molecular scale.
Hemoglobin of the human blood Is
made of parts having this identical
weight.
To date many of the miracle sub
stances of chemistry have been made
by breaking down natures substances
into smaller units-but all made of
these same weight bricks" These
synthetic broken-down units have
lacked some of the desirable properties
Of natures originals.
Chemists are beginning to learn how
to take these protein bricks and build
them up to initiate nature. The
weight microscope" is a new tool for
aiding such synthesis. The ultracen-
trifuge was developed by the Svedberg
scientist. The instrument here is op-

The penal code provides strangu-

Such method is declared less

In order to lessen the shock to

NEW HIGHWAY.
THROUGH CECIL
New Road Would Not Pass
Through Elkton But Cuts
North to Glasgow Road
ELKTON MAKES PROTEST

AS the State Roads Commission
acquires property rights and makes
plans to build the new Philadelphia
Road next year, there is a definite
rise of sentiment against cutting
out Elkton, Md, particularly from
those who depend much upon the
highway traffic for their business.
From what can be learned from
reliable sourses, the route of the
new highway will go north of the
town of North East will not pass
through the business part of Elk
ton, but will cross the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad at the present over
head bridge on West Main street,
extended, then go south, and cross
ing Big Elk creek and tieing in
with the present Elkton-G Glasgow
road about a mile east Of Elkton.
The proposed plan is unsatisfactory
to hundreds of property owners in
Elkton and residents along the
present highway and it is expected
that many protest meetings will be
held and the State Roads Commits
sion petitioned not to carry out the
plans as announced.

ARCH TRAITOR
OF REVOLUTION
Not Benedict Arnold But
Scholar Said To Be Edw.
Bancroft
FRANKLIN TRUSTED HIM

Boston.-The American embassy
in Paris was little more than a
branch office of the British secret
service during Benjamin Franklin's
mission TO France, and prOlOngation
of the American Revolution was
due, more than any other single
cause, to information which Frank
Inns confidential secretary sold to
the British foreign Office, according
to Burton ]. Hendrick in the Allan
tic Monthly.
The arbitrator of the Revolution
was not Benedict Arnold, but schol-
arly Edward Bancroft, Nj. d., who
completely bambOoZled Franklin,
furnished Britain with copies of all
letters to and from the Continental
congress, of all transactions and
correspondence with foreign powers
and who betrayed his country with
disastrous consequences for more
than eight years, states Mr.. Hen
drick, twice winner of the Pulitzer
prize for American biography.
Gave Routes of Ships.
Bancroft contracted to furnish
details about every ship sailing
from France to America-its off
GERS, crew, its cargo, especially
war munitions, its port Of depar-
ture and date of sailing, its project
ed course, so that British warships
might be most advantageously
placed for interception. Ship after
ship cleared French ports for Amer
lea, only TO be scooped in BY the
British Gordon and taken to Eng
land. From May, 1777 to 177S, con-
gress received no messages or cor
respondence of any kind from its
ambassadors in France for all ships
carrying them were captured" as
serts Mr.. Hendrick.
He attributes the fact that Ban
croft was able to carry on his es-
pionage to Franklin's carelessness.
lack of perspicacity and devotion to
an old friend, for Franklin was re-
peatedly informed of Bancroft's ac-
tivities by Arthur Lee. member of
the American mission to France.
Franklin even took Bancroft to
the peace conference that ended the
Revolution, Bancroft being still on
the British pay roll, and Franklin
went to his grave without losing
faith in the associate who SO sue
cessfully sold out his country" as
serts the writer.
Better Informed Than Congress.
From 1776 to 1871 it is not too
much to say that the British foreign
office was better Informed Of Amer
ican activities abroad than was
congress itself. Not a thing hap
pened in Franklin's embassy which
did not instantaneously find its way
to Downing street and Windsor, for
the man who took chief delight in
reading the reports Of British spies
was George III himself.
"Over BancrOft's own signature
we have a conscientious catalogue
of his betrayals, written for the
British secretaries Of state, and of
his interview with the latter, which
brought him pension of f200 for
life. He provides, perhaps, the
most calamitous instance of mis-
placed confidence in American his
tory" concludes Mr.. Hendrick.
