Well naturally after nit .this toyage Into the land of miracles, ono Is too
thrilled and dniod to know how to boj!n writing a story In a conservative,
uncnthuslastlc way.
Yet this story must bo told, for It concerns some extraordinary experi
ments with tho clement selenium, which arc taking Place right under our
nodes In America today, and about which, In spite of their vast significance,
only a few scientists know anything at all as yet. f
"Lot's begin at tho beginning, with selenium.
"It's ono of tho elements," Mlessncr explained. "It comc3 In bluish
gray sticks which look like scaling wax; and It costs about $3 an ounce.
"Selenium has tho peculiar property of changing Its electrical resistance
whon Influenced by light. That's the simple secret of alt tho weird things
that bclentlstfl aro doing with It."
Mlessncr Is only 25 years old now, a graduate of the Iluntlngburg,
Ind., high school, and of Uncle Sam's navy. After serving three years In
tho radio-telegraphic department of tho navy, ho worked for two years with
John Hays Hammond. Jr., at tho Interesting job of steering deserted ships
nil over Gloucester harbor from a wireless station on shore.
Now Mlessncr Is studying for a degree at Purdue University and inci
dentally telling his learned professors a few things about radio-telegraphy
and electrical engineering which they never heard before.
Ills Klecirlc Dog
To llustrate his experiments,
aiclrsncr called his electric dog. Prom
an electric flash hcthrew a bright
light In the dog's goggly eyes, and the
strange object at onco ambled obe
diently out toward his master.
Whorevcr Mlessncr went about the
room with that light, tho dog pa
tiently followed, as Inexorably com
pelled as the moth by the flamo.
" The electric dog has two cells
of selenium, ono behind each of those
glass eyes," explained Mlessncr.
"When I throw tho light upon him.
If It falls upon cither eye it reduces
tho electrical resistance of the selen- blind. When In- wns refuting llio nl
