1 spent u day in the research la-
boratories ill the largest electrical
company in the world. If two hundred
years ago anybody had predicted t It
marvels that can be se. it there to-
day, the God iearing '. 'MS of tne
time would have bur" d Inn u; a '
witch.
For example, is >>u .nov, the j
metal radium is constantly giving off
little particles which are called elec-
trons. The electrons is infinitely
smaller than the atom. Indeed, the
atom is a comparatively big proposi- !
tion, a sort of universe with lots of
electrons flying around inside it.
Of course, neither the electron nor
the atom can be seem by any instru- i
nients which we have yet ik vised.
But listen to this! The scientists in
that laboratory have rigged up a
ladio aparutus, attached to a loud
speaker, which is so delicate that it
can detect the flight of electrons
through the ether.
1 held the dial of my wrist watch
against the microphone. Tin.- figures
on the dial are radium coated. And
I could hear the electrons pounding
into the loud speaker like a shower
of hailstones on a tin roof.
On another floor 1 sat in front of
a motion picture screen and saw talk-
ing movies of three great scientist
of England, Sir Ernest Rutherford,
Sir William Henry Bragg, and Sir
Oliver Lodge.
Each of them was photogaphed in

But what stirred me most was not
the ,cxpvi imeiJ-> which these men
I* rformed but the spirit of their talk.
Sir Oliver Lodge, for example,
picked up a little weight from his
laboratory table and let it drop with
a thud. "That expvriment," he said,
is the simplest that one could pos-
sibly perform and yet there is ha nil y
an experiment about which we know
less than we do about that.
And, he added. "You are not to sup
pose that you understand things be-
cause you call them names.'
He proceeded to talk about tHj
mysterious properties of "empty
space,' and he concluded with this
paragraph.

King of Spain and a passenger on
