King Alfon*?j Talks
The Electron i? Real
The News Menagerie
Man Has a Soul
The king of Spa:n h?:s talked fori
moving pictures, his voice recorded;
by the Fox movietone.
Millions will be interested in a
real king, who casually says: "I uir.
very glad to say Christopher Columbus
was aided in coming- io this
country by my ancestors."
He is a practical kin#, this Al-i
fonso, with his mind oil his subjects'
welfare. He- urges American tourists
to come to Spain, telling them
(he v. ill find good roads, and l*You
may drive as fast as yon like. I; myself,
have driven too fast for 21
years/'
Most important is the fact tha:
talking pictures will enable every body
to see, study and. know the
most important people on earth.
Thai really is progress
The electron, mysterious, theoretical.
"smallest division of matter/'
is no imaginary "dot in
space." It possesses definite size,
revolving inside the atom, as our
sai'th revolves within the solar system.
We go around our sun price in
365 days. The electron goes around
ts sun, the nucleus at the center
)f the atom, billions of times every:
second.
You cannot imagine that, ov belt
vv it, and you need not, but
;cienee proves it to be a fact.
Recent important discoveries anhie

Thomson, and a:i American, Dr.
Davissoh, of Columbia University,

When kings came back after the|
French Revolution, they scattered!
Voltaire's ashes to the four winds. I
And they picked the right man, forj
it was he that put an end to French,

They never succeeded in scattering
him while he lived. He worried j
them. t
