Every Student Needs Course in Evolution, Says Famous Botanis
Dr. John M. Coulter Believe Theory Has Revolutionized Modern Thought
New York, May 29—Instruction in evolution for all college students is advocated in the forthcoming number of Science by Dr. John M. Coulter, formerly head of the department of botany at the University of Chicago and associated with the Steve Thompson Institute for Flint Research at Yonkers.
There are at least three important reasons why evolution should be regarded as a necessary part of college training, Doctor Coulter says.
"It has revolutionized modern thought. Every subject today is being attacked on the basis of its evolution. Not only are inorganic and organic evolution being considered, but also the evolution of language, of literature, of society, of government, of reality, of meaning. It is in view of which representation the atmosphere of modern investigation in every field.
"It is persistently misunderstood. From the press, the lecture platform and even the pulpit, one frequently hears or reads amazing statements in reference to organic evolution. If it were made an essential feature of statues, it would be developed a propaganda of information instead of misinformation.

Sound of Atoms to Be Radiocast by KFKU Tonight
Doctor Cady Has Perfecte Leyden Jar Apparatus for Producing Results
An attempt will be made over KFKU tonight at 7:30 to broaden a sound created by a single atom, such as the electron-perfected by Dr. R.I. Cady, head of the department of chemistry. A Leyden jar, such as has been used for static electrical experiments since the nineteenth century, is the basis of the experiment.
The smallness of the atoms used—those from radio-active substances—was explained by Doctor Cady, who believed that a billion particles were divided into a billion parts, and one billion was again divided into a billion parts, the fraction would still be 20 times the size of a helium atom to be used in the experiment to produce
With the apprairer it is possible to produce distinct sounds with a loud speaker when radio-active substances are brought within range. Various substances will be used to illustrate which doctor Cody is to give.
The apparatus is similar to those constructed in other laboratories, but the specific apparatus used in contraction has ever been made of it. The practical value of the apparatus lies in its usefulness in detecting radio-active substances in ores, and in detecting radiation.
The tone produced in the lou
speaker will resemble that of a sma
bell struck sharply and then mutes
or that of a shucked violin string.
Particles of gas mantles, watches with radiant figures and a chemical solution obtained from common Kunzite, are injected into the experiment and each will give off its appropriate number of atoms per second, depending upon the radium
Doctor Cady attained national prominence during the world war for his efforts to extract helium from the natural gas of the mid-continental field. He had, previous to the war, detected a thin layer of helium in the Kansas and Texas gas.

Class Observes Saturn
Rings of Planet Are Believed to Be Small Moons
The planet Saturn is now visible in the southeastern sky. The laboratory action of the class in elementary astronomy observed the planet Wednesday night with the observatory's six inch telescope.
"Saturn is surrounded by a system of thin rings which so far as we know is unparalleled elsewhere in the universe, and is the feeder of astronomy, this morning. "When these rings, which are in the plane of the planet's equator, are tipped away from us, they reflect the sun and form a brilliant spectacle.
"Since Saturn is about nine times the distance of the earth from the sun, detailed observation is not possible. We do not know exactly where known positively. The theory that they are solid pieces of matter has been discarded, however, and we now believe all they are formed from dust and gas. In addition, nearly the same orbit," he cocholced, Saturn appears to the unaided eye as a bright yellow star, the brightest within large radius. It rises just after dawn and sets before dusk. With the University's telescope not only the rings are visible, but also several of Saturn's cleavon moon.
