' Ttiysics deals with energy, heat, motion, electricity, light, sound the bases for most industries and for everyday living. It is' the physicist who changes light into electricity with the photoelectric cell, the physicist who noise in broadcasting stations ' and' .vibration from buildings and engines, the physicist .who measures the force of an earthquake or thft severity of the weather, the physi cist who sounds the sda wlth.echoes and maked it. possible to probe the fopsbme new and distant star.'

Some "of the most promising developments of. physics should te of interest, to (everyone, f dr" they sre in the field of 'medicine, says Dr. Compton. The treatment of canter still leaves much to be desired, frut physics made possible Us treatment by radiotherapy. 'Neutrons tnd artificial radioactive materials now oiler interesting possibilities for the future. Just now showing its real value Is another use of physics in medicine the employment of radiation to create artificial fever. Lately it has been found possible to cure dogs from rabies by raising their temperatures to a point which will not kill the dogs, but will kill the organisms of the disease. Recent developments In the science of physics are as varied as they are fascinating. For instance, Dr. G. Failia, of New York City, reports a new method of studying the ionization of neutrons upon human tissues in the treatment of can- fu-til- re . high-frequen- cer. Ho lias' designed a chamber, the inner walls of which may be lined with the skin, bone, muscle or tumor-whicis being studied. The proper depth of tissue and even the contour of thb living test object can be simulated. in the research . Late discoveries of atomie nuclei may equal the strides made possible by the discoveries of the radiotherapy and the electron in the recent past, in the opinion of Dr. Compton. During the past third of a century, he said, the discoveries of tlie and radioactivity have together brought about the greatest advances which have ever been made in the fundamental knowledge of the physical world and in practical application pf this knowledge to human Welfare; These developments will undoubtedly continue. . It may be well that the new fields oT knowledge disclosed through exploration of the atomie nucleus may bring about a 'now-seof developments of corresponding import'anco' before this; century comes to a- close. . . t , . . Hear Magnets tliss. ' . the most dr&matjc presentations of the atomic nuclei was made ,in New York by Dr, U. M. Bozo'rth. He allowed the assembled scientists to hear tiny magnets inside metal tuhn.o.ver and hlsS and then, magnified that hiss to a magnificent roar. In the lust ten years, ho told them, research has increased by eight times the case with which iron responds, to mag' netization. ' ; Dr. Bozorths tiny Internal magnets are caused- by. the atoms of. blocks of millbon-billiowhich 'could form a cube about a thousandth of an Inch on side. Each atom within. the unit, which physicists call an atomic domain, is. magnetic be.qhuse its electrons revolve about the atom nucleus. But the domain consists of- atoms- to rotating that their magnetic poles are. all in- thi sanfe direction.

Another of the. outstanding of the science ef. physics to industrial progress lies in the quelling of vibration. Dr: J. V- - Pen' Hnrtog, associate, professor of up-- , plied mechanics at Harvard university, told the meeting in New York, Dr. Den Hartog cited the Improvements in the elimination of vibration Horn flying machines since the scare in.

They 'gqt the habit of noslrig," or syaying violently from fcide to side as they swept down the tracks. The physicists solved this one with the aid of the toy manufacturers.
