Robert A. Millikan Delivers Address on "Super-X-Ray
Experiments Conducted a Muir Lake Agree With Arrowhead Lake Observations
An empleal address describing the newly discovered "super-X-rays" was delivered before the National Academy of Sciences at Madison, Wis., by Dr. Robert Andrews Milliken incarnate. "The High Frequency Rays of Coast Origin" was the subject of a paper presented by the director of the Norman Bridge laboratory of the California Institute of Technology.
In 1903 the British physicists, Rutherford and McLennan, noticed that the rate of leakage of an electric charge from an electrode within an enclosed chamber was increased by enclosing the chamber within a completely encircling metal box with walls a centimeter or more thick. The resulting rays of some highly penetrating rays which could pass through metal and ionize the gas inside. It was called the "penetrating radiation" of the almost complete radioactive materials in the earth.
Rays of Cosmic Origin
Experiments showed that the radiation did not decrease as rapidly with altitude as it should upon this hypothesis. This seemed to indicate that the penetrating rays came from outward and upward, before of some sort of cosmic origin.
The next step taker, was accordingly performed on the top of Pike's Peak by Doctor Millikan and Russell Otis to discover just how penetrating the rays were. Results showed that they were not much more penetrating than water or sodium. However, two years later experiments at Muir Lake showed the rays to be so penetrating that they could pass through 68 feet of water or the equivalent of six feet of bad, before being completely absorbed. This means the rays much more penetrating than which had even been imagined before.
Conclusions Drawn on Origin
Conclusions Drawn on Origin
The results of the Mur lake experiment were checked with another set of observations at Arrowhead lake. From these facts some fairly reliable conclusions as to the origin of these very penetrating and very high frequency rays were drawn.
The most penetrating rays previously known, the gamma rays of radium, are produced by the change of one atom over into another. It is scarcely possible to avoid the conclusion that these still more penetrating rays are being transformed of some sort. Then it is concluded that nuclear changes having an energy value perhaps fifty times as great as the energy changes involved in observed radioactive processes are taking place in the atmosphere. Signals of these changes are being sent to us in these high frequency rays.
Upon striking matter, these hard rays stimulate softer rays of about the frequency predicted by the theory of the Compton effect. Also the rays come into the earth with equal intensity day and night and at all hours of the day and night, and practically the same intensity in all directions.
Male Quartets Popular
Kansas-Missouri Joint Concert to Be Given Friday
Two quartets of Glee Club men have been singing on various special occasions and sereading some of the Hill sororities. These quartets include eight of the 90 voices to be presented in the joint Glee Club concert between the University of Kansas and Northwestern in Robinson gymnasium Friday night.
Although the Missouri club is larger than that of Kansas, which has 50 members, only 49 will make the trip. Each club is planning to present its own individual numbers as well as joining in the ensemble number clubs, according to the director, is the most promising of recent years.
'Redhead' May Forsake Gridiron for Congress
(United Press)
Chicago, Nov. 16—Not content with having "Red Groups" as one of the "greatest football players of all time," friends of the University of Illinois gridiron wonder have sturted a campaign to get him into congress.
Petitions to place his name on the Republican ballot at the April primaries were circulated in Chicago. The petitions ask for his nomination and for his vote in the Politicians act that Grange is not eligible. He is only 22 years old, and the constitution provides that no person who is a member of the party serve in the house of representatives.
Astronomer Measures Cross Motion of Stars
Mediocre, Wise, Nov. 16 — Motions of stars across the line of sight, or "proper motions" in the nauter numerator call them, to distinguish from motions directly towards or away from stars. The observations were made by Frank E. Rose, of the Yerkes Observatory. He told members of the National Academy of Sciences today that those measurements have been made by the use of a "blink microscope." They also noted that the stars at different times to be compared, and the changes detected.
The late Prof. E, E. Barmard, of the Yorkes Observatory, made star photography covering nearly half the sky about twenty years ago, and Professor Owen Clare, who has been comparing them with the modern plates. "There is urgent need," he said, "of surveying the entire sky in this manner, for the detection of all dust particles that may have an accurate picture of the space around our sun."
All the hive bees in the United States have been imported from other countries.
It would take *10* train as long as it went to Washington, D.C. to New Haven, Coma, to bank one avery day's output of the brittany coal mine.
