Show The Bombing Ray Returning from study and experiments high up in the A.ndes, Prof, liobt. Millikan announces corroboration of his discovery of the "Cosmic Ray," a year ago. The "Cosmic" is the shortest of rays, penetrates more than any other and bombards the earth i'rom every direction. If Prof. Millikan is right, this new ray is the most important im-portant discovery in the history of science, ancient or modern. It establishes the existence of power, energy and motion with something other than the sun as their source. Whither further furth-er study of this ray will finally lead is almost beyond human imagination but already may be visioned a revolution in almost al-most all of the sciences. It may set fire to all the school houses of acquired knowledge and set back science, to begin iill over again in the primary grade. It may explain the "ether". It may be used to release the energy of the atom. We begin to know a little about sun-power, tide-power, air-power air-power and ever X-ray-power. In this "Cosmis Ray" seems Lo be a power greater than any of these, probably the source of these a power independent of the sun, or other central creative form. Proof of it will surely turn the accumulation of human knowledge the other side up. Verily, we now living m?.y die in the denset ignorance. One of the comforting views of death is that it is step to really knowing something. |
