point out that he Is trying the most
practical way that of getting other
nations to make war on Gofmany for
the good of British commerce and the
destruction of the rival.
More than that. Were Franco and
Germany at war, It would be possible
for England to- stab her. rival in the
back while the Frenoh army was being
maasacred and thus occupying German
attention. Of course, the resjult of the
filan would be much more certain still

up against her. And so, forgetting her
old-age hatred of Russia, England has
not hesitated one Instant to offer friend

will Join- her In destroying her terrible

CAII DETECT AH
ATOM OF SOLID
Prof. Rutherford, Expert on
Radio ctjtykes a
Successful Experiment.
London. Nov. 28. Prof feasor Ernest
Rutherford, director of the physical
laboratories at Manchester university,
and one of the world's foremost author
ities on radio-activity, details in a com
munication addressed to the Scientific
WppVIv the nature of certain experi
ments which, in addition to Important
results from the pofet of-view of radio
active data, are noteworthy from the I
fact that during their progress It was
ror me nrsi time punaiuic ucici
single atom of matter. This can be
done in two ways, one electrical and
the other optical. , (
The possibility of the detection of a
single atom of matter Is due to the
great energy of motion of alpha parti- j
cles, which, as Professor Rutherford I
showed In 1903, are veritable atoms of!
matter, wnicn are ejeciea irom
active matter at a speed of about 10,
000 miles per second. Professor Ruth
erford's more recent experiments show
that 188,000,000 alpha particles are ex
pelled every second from one milligram
of radium In a radio-active equilibrium.
"From the point of view of modern
theorv.' says Professor Rutherford,
"the appearance of an alpha particle is
the sign of a violent atomic explosion,
in which , the fragment of an atom an
alpha particle is ejected at a high
speed. In a majority of known active
substances the expulsion of an alpha
psrtlcle accomplishes the transforma
tion of one substance into another, and
the decrease of the atomic mass con
sequent upon the loss Of an alpha par
ticle at once offers a reasonable ex
planation of the appearance of an en
tirely new kind of matter In place of
Professor Rutherford reverts - to his
old suggestion, made In 1905. that very
probably the alpha particle is an atom
of helium, carrying two unit charges,
and he refers to the difficulty of prov
ing or disproving experimentally the
correctness -of this hypothesis, although
the settlement of this question has been
for the last few years the most Import
ant problem in radio-activity, because
the proof that the alpha particle is an
atom of helium carries numerous con
sequences of the first importance In Its
trs.tn
Professor Rutherford now asserts that
his recent experiments have thrown fur
ther light on this question and have led
to Important conclusions in several di
rections. The description of the experi
ments Is too technical to be gone into
here; but Professor Rutherford consid
ers that they demonstrate the correct
ness of his theory that the alpha par
ticle must be an atom of helium carry
ing a double charge, or, in other words,
that an alpha particle, when its charge
is neutralised is a helium atom. It
must be concluded, he says, that atoms
of known radio-active slements are In
part, at least, constituted of helium
atoms, which sre liberated at definite
stages during disintegration. -
Professor Rutherford's concluslonls
put with characteristic modesty: 'It
may be of Interest to note." he savs.
"that the experimental ,results recorded

proof, if proof be needed, of the cor
rectness of the atomic hypothesis with

DIVORCE EI
SHOCKlOu'
Cardinal' Gibbons Says Fig
ures Set Forth ly. Census
f Bureau Are Startling Eti-
ll dence of Laxity of Mar-
i riage Vows.. , ",..
(Hearst News by Longest Leased Wire.)
Baltimore, Md., Nov. .-"Shocking,1
"appalling," and "striking at the very
roots of our social system,", were terms
applied today by Cardinal Gibbons, the
most eminent prelate of the' Catholic
-church in America, in discussing the
divorce facts as set forth in the figures
that have Just been given out by the
census bureau. These figures show a
startling growth in the divorce evil In
the United States, disclosing that one
marriage In 12 ends in divorce and that
divorces are two and one half times
as common as 40 years ago.' Y
Cardinal Gibbons, who- Is' supremely
Interested In the divorce evil, and who
has for years preached and written
against It. has studied the -statistics th
government has just given out and Is
deeply Impressed by them. He believes
the divorce evil can be cured only by
a deeper regard for the teachings of the
church and that society should shun
those who are divorced Instead of re
ceiving the divorced woman or man, as
it now does, as u nothing bad happened
nearly Bams aa Tree' Xats.
"The statistics given out by the
census bureau." said Cardinal Gibbons.
"are simply shocking. The revelations
are nothing less than appalling. The
extent of the divorce evil is so great as
to strike at the very roots of our so
cial system. I myself am writing and
speaking constantly on this subject and
I am' In sympathy with any effort to
check the growth of divorce in this
country.
. "The government figures show that
divorces are multiplying about three
times as fast as the population. They
disclose that one marriage in 13 ends
in divorce. The figures are the more
striking when considered by the siJe
of the figures of Canada, for Instance,
wnere the number of divorces is rela
tively small.
"Divorce Is becoming so prevalent
that marriage Is getting to be little bet
ter than a system of free love.
Divorcees Should Be Shunned-
"People are too much bent, on plea
sure. Men and women enter the mar
riage state without regard to the sacred
nature of the bond they tare undertak
ing. They look too much upon life with
Regard only to what pleasure they can
get out .er it and with too little re
gard for that solemn word 'duty.'
''Whereydoes the fault lie? Is it in
our system of education? .No, it is the
result or a raise, loose interpretation or
the gospel. Every one of the gospels Is
opposed to divorce. If divorce Is to be
checked there must be a stricter regard
for the truths or the Christian religion
as they are taught by. the Catholic
church.' If we profess to be Christians,
let us Je- Christians. t i.
"A reason why divorce is on the In
crease la found In the attitude of so
ciety -toward persons who are di
vorced. rln rormer times a woman wno
was divorced was shunned. She wss
not received or recognized in good so
ciety and was frowned upon. Now this
Is ' not-the , case. If divorce Is to be
checked . let the divorced person be
shunned. , - - -
Make Xews More Severe.
"To what extent Is the law responsible?;:-
"Of -course the laws on the subject
of divorce are . responsible to some ex
lent.. ,Thev should be made more severe.
As la well known they differ in differ
ent states and are in many cases lax,
A man forms an attachment for a
unman, -or a woman for a man. and.
regardless of any existing marriage
honda. they determine to marry. Under
the laws they find this easily possible.
I noticed whst the census statistics
showed as to the decrease of the mar
riage rate in times of depression. It Is
natural that this should be Ihe case and
that people should the more readily con
tract marriage when times are prosperous..-
.
"Without going Into the question of
the- relation of economic conditions to
divorce, I may say that I hope that we
are on the verge of greater prosperity
and better times."
Cardinal Gibbons emphasized the
grave dangers to civilisation if the di
vorce evil was to go on unchecked and
the rate of Increase shown to have taken
place In the last 0 years was per
mitted to continue. He was fully con
vinced i that no subject could better
occupy the attention of the thinking
minds of the nation.
