A group of the General Electric Company's engineers the other day set up a radio device to make light waves audible, audi-ble, just for the edification of the convention of the American Ameri-can Society of Civil Engineers. ' . " ' First one of the engineers held a lighted match in front of a pho-to-electric cell. A dull rumbling, like thunder, came f roman attached loudspeaker. Then a Neon lamp was passed before tha cell. A steady hum proceeded from the loudspeaker. loud-speaker. -Following this an ordinary incandescent bulb was put in front of the "mouth piece1 and a roar that almost shook the building was forthcoming. - - - ;. There were other tricks of a similar order. v A specially-made specially-made German lamp produced a noise like the siren of a fire engine. A Swiss lamp made a noise like a hoot owl.. A battery bat-tery lamp gave cut sounds like the thumping of a bass drum. And so on, through marvel after marvel. Now all of this, on the surface, may not look like much; but it is just a reminder of the fact that scientists have uncovered un-covered a whole universe of profound mysteries, lying hidden hid-den all about us. Listening to the "queer" noises made by light waves is a miraculous act, when you stop to think about it. The medieval alchemist hunting for the elixir of life was never on the trail of anything half so thrilling. Tennyson, observing a common flower blooming in a chink in a stone wall, remarked that if he could but fully understand that bit of vegetable growth, from beginning to end, he "would know what God and man is." The modern scientist is in the same position. If one could fully understand under-stand this business of light waves that produce thunder drum beats and siren wails, one would have a clearer picture of the universe than any mortal that ever lived. All of which is just another way of saying that the earth is compacted of profound mysteries. The scientists are poking into these mysteries bravely, but each one when solved merely uncovers a new cne beyond it. They discover just enough to demonstrate that we live in a world of won- dcr. " ' And thatrperhaps, is their chief service to us. Who can be cocksure, in a werld where the tiniest flame can speak with a voice liko thunder? Dodging the Issue w The suggetion of the Very Rev. William Ralph Inge, England's famous' "gloomy dean," that condemned criminals be allowed to commit suicide instead of being forced to wait for the state to'execute them with the rope or the electric chair, is an interesting example of the way a sensitive mind can dodge behind a makeshift barrier instead of facing an issue squaiely. ' ,. Dean Inge, undoubtedly, was moved o make his suggestion sugges-tion because v his soul found something" unspeakably repugnant repug-nant in the thought of condemned men waiting, day after day and week after week, in their celts of a fore-ordained violent death. Buc is is hard to see just how his proposal would mitigate the horrors of capital punishment very greatly great-ly Capital punishment is bound to be a harsh, repcllant measure under any circumstances, and trying to find ways of softening.it is futile. . Anyone who finds "death row" too dreadful to think about is at liberty to work for the abolition of capital punishment altogether; but as long as the death penalty remains, there isn't much use in trying to take the sting out of it.
