Scientist BoIks
At Nothing, as
Yet Unscorred

Last month he sealed himself
in an alright chamber for Ia
hours to learn how the victims
of the Thetis submarine disaster
felt in their last hours. He once
ate an ounce of ammonium
chloride a day, survived it and
learned lot about tetanus and
saving children's lives. Studying
fatigue, he shut himself for long
periods in tight chamber, the
air charged with carbon dioxide.
Tracing effects of acid on the
body, he ate daily three ounces
of bicarbonate of soda, following
it with chaser of hydrochlOric
acid, diluted with water. Twice
gassed in the World war, he
seemed to enjoy himself a lot,
writing down his sensations with
Gusto and later qualifying as an
expert on mustard and other
gases.
With all that, he hasn't a scratch
on him and doesn't suffer even from
Husky and vigorous, he
doubles as guinea pig and a writer,
the latter pursuit greatly enhancing
his fame, notably with his book
Daedalus, which was quite a sensa-
ton in this country in 1924. He ex-
periments on his mind just as he
does on his body. He is moved main
ly by the idea that we know precious
little about life and death and the
human body and mind, and that in
the short time allotted to us we
ought to try anything once, which he
consistently does. He is spirited
writer, giver to epigrams, and is
known as the G. B. Shaw of Science.
The son of a distinguished
Scottish scientist, he was edu-
Gated at Oxford and gained in
creasing reputation before he
was 80. He is Al.

servant. Norwood stopped the man,
inspected the tray, and selected a
piece of toast. He looked for some
thing to wrap it in. That reminded
him. He CROPPED in his left-hand
pocket for the iodine, tore off half
the paper in which Stoddart had
wrapped the bottle, stuffed the I'M
tidy package back, wrapped the
toast in the torn-off paper and put
that into his right-hand pocket.
"I'm expected at the palace, so
I can't stay, Mrs. Harding. I
brought you some fresh iodine, in
case the doctors stuff is pretty an
cient, as sometimes happens"
He plunged his hand into his tunic
pocket and Lynn came to the screen
door to receive the bottle. He looked
at her, cropping with his left hand,
trying to pull out the bottle without
the untidy paper; but a piece of
string, tied with one of Stoddart's
knots, prevented. So he pulled out
the disgraceful package with a
quick smile of apology.
Hello" said Lynn, you've
dropped something"
He stopped, picked up what lay at
his feet but didn't recognize it. It
was quite small black paper en-
velope.
81 saw it fall from your pocket"
said Lynn.
He opened it. 1t contained a neat
ly folded paper of diamonds. Nine
large, clear white brilliants shone
in the sum- He scowled at them and
stuffed the package back into his
pocket, evidently upset. He ap-
peared to hope that Lynn hadn't seen
the diamonds. He seemed about to
mention them, but changed his
mind. Lynn thought he seemed sus-
picious of her. Then suddenly:
Excuse me, won't your"
He walked away. Lynn's eyes fol-
lowed, wondering. He looked like a
man who has been hit hard and is
trying not to show it.

It was not Aunty's cultured, con-
ventional voice but the hard, un-
sympathetic one in which she al
most always commanded attention
to her comfort as prelude to the
luxury of an explosion of temper.
Two palace women, loaned by the
Maharanee, had been fussing with
the pillows less than five minutes
before. Lynn rearranged them. She
