The Gazefte-Times 50c per month. It Is a Mystery to Science, and the Man Who Is Able to Penetrate That Mys tery Will Be In a Position to Revo lutionize This Planet of Ours. v This is not an Aesop fable, although ft has a moral. There are two things in whose pres ence science stands wondering and abashed the little glowworm (or the yet tinier firefjy) and the mighty comet arching the sky with its glimmering train. Each of them holds the same secret how - to make light without heat. The man who gets that secret will revolutionize the planet. The late president of the Royal As tronomical Society of Great Britain referred to the value of the. comet's secret in his retiring address. .

It shows us hundreds of billions of cubic miles of space simul taneously glowing with luminosity whose origin Is a mystery. It is a gigantic experiment in a branch of physics of which we as yet know very little. The comet is im mersed in what we may well regard as a vacuum; at least it is a iar more perfect vacuum than we can produce. Yet the persistent glow of the comet's tail shows that there is no real vacuum there, but a vast quantity of extreme ly attenuated matter which no doubt is the cause of the luminosity. We ought, Professor Newall thinks, to awake to the importance of this hint. "Who knows," he says, "wheth er, if we could discover a method of disrupting gases and vapors in ultra vacuous spaces artificially maintained on earth, we should not have a meth od of artificial illumination as econom ical as that of the glowworm and as brilliant as-ls needed tor our nocturnal life?" This thing may really be within our reach, although at the present time we cannot even suggest to ourselves exactly how It is to be attained. But the tendency of recent investigation, is in that direction. As Sir John Her- sehel said of another discovery which; was just at the door, "We can feel it trembling along the farreaching line of onr analysis. There are not. a few men, who- are- regarded by their harder headed scien tific brethren as "dreamers," who pic ture to themselves a fast coming time when we Bhall not only obtain light at as cheap a rate as the firefly has It, but when we shall have tapped the ex- hanstless stores of energy that sleep all around us in nature. We are like one in a dream . sus pended In the midst of a vast work shop crowded with multitudinous; ma chines, all whirling and fluttering in a storm of energies, but which he can neither, control nor understand. If we could see these things they might terrify us, as the dreamer-is terrified by the whirring belts, and , spinning wheels of his vision, seeming to grasp at his life. If, the scientific Investigator need? to establish a raison d'etre In the eyes of the public, ... which cannot follow either his processes or his results, he has only to point to the fact that the greatest practical discoveries of mod ern times have come out of the labora tories from things as Incomprehensible to the unitiated as so much magic It Is a well known fact that the growing might of Germany springs from her devotion to "pure research." Referring again to the pregnant hint of . the comet, Professor Newall la clearly right in saying, "Here Is a theme that should stir up the most commercial mind in the support of as tronomy."
