Our ancestors of a. few gen- erations back were so busy fishing, huhlln: Ind practicing with . the Claymore that they had no time for Physical Science. There was another reason also besides lack of time for the neglect of science. It was not considered safe in those times to be too curiouswith regard to the op- A philosopher was then supposed to get his in- formation from the "Demons proud oi'Middie Air." and ti-‘siiic or that kind was sure to get the philosopher into trouble. Macbeth! experience with the "weird sisters" was, that "they win us with honest trlfles to bctray us in greatest consequence." whcnGalileo startled his friends by telling them that the earth was turn- ing on its nxis. the wise men of the time kindly advised him to forget it ‘ or they would be obliged to put him : out of the church. Times have ' changed however, and the student of physics can now carry orl his in- vestigations withoul. fear of being considered a wizard or in league with the devil. In tact. we now seem to have gone to the other extreme, tak- ing the discovery o! scientific prin- ciples as a matter of course. and for- getting the enormous amount of re- search and brain work required to extend even slightly the boundaries of our knowledge. The philosopher oi’ olden days con- sidered that the material universe was made up 0t four elements, Fire, Air. Earth and Water. Each of these elements was presidcti over by a spe- the Air. Neptune. God oi’ the Ocean and so on. This doctrine, together with a. curious mixture oi alchemy. astrology, occultlsm andimagic were accepted more or less generally until about'l50 ycars ago when Cavendish showed that Water was not an ele- mentary substance. that it could be split up into two gases which W0" named oxygen and hydrozell; 5W" lifter this discovery. other compounds were A analyzed irlvlllil T159 1-° ‘he science or chcmistry- Till!

In order to give an idea o f one of the methods employed. it is necessary to consider a student o! physics has to deal with. namely, ENERGY. . sense. ENERGY means work or the ogpacity oi doing work.

In “or, no matter how much the power o! our optical instruments is ‘inol-ggged an atom can never be actually seen ‘because it is smaller than the wave lmsth °1118ht which forms the im- lke on the eye. I .When all the atoms had been.‘ Welshed and meas cu‘. and the laws‘ of force which control the motion of the planets and comets were all W“ 1W1 W14. it might seem as if there was but little more left for the stu- dml °7 Phyflics to do." Not long since I hllipened to hear a professor t om one of our universities. who was ev- idently not connected with the de-t partment of Physics, ask if it was not a act that all the fundamental 1w: o Physics mid been known for some time and if the work of the Physicist now did not consist almost entirely oi’ working out detail; m5 refinements. Bo far is this from- be- ing the case that there probably nev- er was, a time when the student; of science felt that there was so much yet to learn as at present. Recent discoveries have brought to the front ' problems that are Just as fascinating , and fully as difficult as any of these that have already been solved. Four or five years ago, a distinguished Physicist, Sir Oliver Lodge, one oi’ the first contributors to the art o! wireless telegraphy, had this to say with ilegard to theserecent discover- ies. "The ‘elucidation of the struc- ture of the atom to .which ~the quan- tum lus led ‘is oneof the most ex- traordinary. illuminating. and mo- mebtous discoveries of Twentieth century Pliysicsx": will try_ to show what discovery Sir Oliver was-refer- ring to with so much .ent‘- usiasm and what he rnent by ‘elucidating the About the beginning of this cen-. tury it‘ was found that the atom was made up of still smaller particles. that have been called electrons. ‘Al- though an atomj is_itseif_ so hope- lessly invislbleun electron inside of an atom, has as muchroom tomove a- round in relatively ‘as a small fly would have inside oi a church. Not- withstandig the. smallness of the electron. its weight." diameter and under ‘certain conditions its velocity. have been determined with astonish- ing accuracy. 1t has been shown that the number of electrons in an atom is what. distinguishes an atom of iron ior example. from an atom. ofcopper. An atomyol iron has 28 eleetro is. that ol copper 31 electrons and an atom of hydrogen two electrons. It is also known that the electrons revolve rnents are slowly producing atoms of oft electrons whilebeing converted into the metal radium.
