I Is A Man A Pygmy Or A Giant? * * * # * * * * * Master Yet Speck In Universe (By William Bradley Otis, in Popu lar Science Monthly.) Some weeks ago Astronomers an nounced that a star, Nova Plctoiis, apparently had split in two. The spectacle, described recently in Poplar Science Monthly, was offer ed as a remarkable new discovery. Yet the actual event had occurred sixty years before, Christopher Col umbus was born: It had ♦aken ail the time since for the fastest mes senger known to man to bring us the news. The distance between the earth and this star is Sc great that it rook five centuries for a -ay of light, traveling at more than 18G, 000 miles a second, to bridge the gap. When we stop to consider that tor a moment we begin to wender about man and his place in such a vast universe. Is h a pygmy or is He a giant? To find out, let’s first look at the universe around us. Pick out the fastest thing you know The hurricane? It goes a hundred miles an hour. The loco motive? It goes a hundred and twenty. The racing automobile? It goes two hundred and six. The air plane. It goes three hundred and fifty. They are all too slow! Ride a beam of light. It travels so last that it can circle the globe eight times while you draw a single breath. Are you ready? Go! Speeding into space at the rate of 103,000 miles a second: i. takes you three and a half years to reach the nearest star. It takes you twenty-two years to reach Sirius. It takes you more than seventy to reach Capella. and your journey is just begun! You will travel for six hundred centuries before you come to a far star oh the borderlands of the Milky Way, and for more than a thousand centuries before you reach the most distant star we know. Long before the dawn of history, even before the coining of the first Neanderthal man. tills last star may have disappeared frem the sky. Yet we see it still! The light rays that vre see tonight left it merg than 100,000 years ago. The | ones starting today will be seen on earth a thousand centuries hence, after thousands of generations have ! come and gone. What sort of people living in what sort of civilization, will see those rays? An interesting question. If Lindbergh hopped off for Mars in his airplane and flew at top speed all the way, before he reach ed the planet he would be an old j man of seventy and over! The dot on this “1' looms im measurably larger on this page than does our earth in the universe. And on this earth speck lie the pride ot man's handiwork—his I cities, his skyscrapers, his factories,j and his railways. In the vast stretches of such a i universe, what a pygmy seems man! One individual is lost to sight in a great city. And that city, on ci map | cf the world, appears smaller than a speck of dust on the side of a cir- j cus elephant. And that world, in the universe, is like a drop cf water compared with the wide Atlantic. And beyond the universe, for all we know, stretch super-universes in which the distance from earth to our fatrhest star will look like a six teenth-inch mark on a surveyor's long steel tape! An idea of the staggering size of the universe was given the other day by Prof. Edwin B. Frost, direc tor ot the Y.rkcs Observatory at Williams Bay, Wis. If you hold a dime at arm's length toward the Milky Way. he said, the coin will hide about fifteen million suns! A single photograph, including less than ono-thcusar»dfh. mart of the. night sky revealecfifrlhgw rtf.about 400,000 stars. The far distant star An tares appears through telescopes as a tiny speck in the heavens, yet it is forty million times as big as our sun. In the last thirty years, discover ies of astronomers have extended the boundaries of space ten thous and times, Thus, looking up and out from his planet, man feels himself grow smaller and smaller. He sees writ ten in capital letters the story of his own unimportance. In such a universe, what a pygmy he is! But, looking in another direction, he reads another story. It is the most fantastic, incredible tale science ever verified. It tells him that he is a giant, a colossus, who walks von universes, who holds a million whirling suns and satellites in the hollow of his hand, who brushes a .solar system into space and calls it a speck of dust! It tells him fhat the very tele scope with which he studies a uni verse so vast it makes him dizzy is made of little universes so small he cannot see them. The metal tube of his instrument,' and the very glass through which he peers, is formed of solar systems whirling in cease less activity. When you turn this page and feel the paper between your thumb and finger, you know that its thickness barely separates them. Yet for that short distance—about one-six-hun dredth of an Inch—300,000 molecules have to “stand on each other’s shoulders” to reach across. And molecules are the giants of this sub-visible world. Each is a universe in itself in which as many as 25,000 suns and satellites whirl at once. Within the molecules are the atoms and within the atoms are the electrons. Look at this “o.” It is so small that it disappears if you move the page a few feet away. Yet science tells yoU that corralled within that “o" ate £t JO:;tline crowd of atom greater in number than all the stars yOU can see in the sky. An article in the July issue of Popular Science Monthly told of a discovery announced by Robert A Millikan the American physicist v/ho was award ~£ the Nobel prize j> liis work w ith cosmic rays. He said recent tests led him to suspect that fill space is filled with cosmic rays creating fresh atoms. For a long time, we have been told that the eltrth is wasting away and will eventually disappear. Dr. Millikan's -.idea that new atoms replace those lost through radioactivity suggests that the earth may last forever. But even smaller than the atoms ora.' the electrons, little planets that wheel on th°ir orbits at soeed' greater than that with which the earth circles the sun. Imagine that everything around you suddenly begins to swell. The cats and cups and tabics and build ings and the earth double, triples, quadruples in size. i ney Keep cn until everything is ten billion times as big as it is now. Men would be ten million miles tall. And they would wheel around babies weighing 1 ifty million tone Mice would have tails so long that they could wrap them about tile present equator a dozen times. A bird-shot would have swelled-to the size of the earth as we know it. But. even in such a fantastical ly magnified world, one of these electrons would have become no larger than the head of a pin. Looking at such things, how gi gantic seems man! When Charles the First was King of England, one of his bodyguards' was a giant udio was in the habit of carrying a dwarf around with him in his pocket If you were asked which of those two, the dwarf or the gianf, best symbolizes man, what would you say? We' are undecided, looking at man physically, whether he is a pygmy or a giant. But, viewing him from - the angle of the Mind, cur answer is more definite. All through his history, he has been fighting forces stronger than he. The lightning, the storm at sea, wild beasts, disease—these have been his hereditary enemies. But ty using his mind he has conquered In his laboratories he plays with lightning that carries three million volts. On his steamship he plows safely through waves a hundred feat! high that drop thousands of tons of | water crashing on the deck. His children go to the zoo end are amused by the caged remnants of the fierce beasts that once menaced their ancestors. And disease after disease he has strangled at is source. Man, the giant, looks over the rim of the globe and sees a friend half around the earth—by television. He cresses the ocean in a single step—by airplane. He strides across the land faster than the fleeWst deer—by automobile. By using his brain, man has be come swifter than the deer, stronger than the elephant, more keen-sight ed than the eagle. He has conquer ed the air. the land, the sea Mentally, he has become the giant of the earth.

The supreme council of the order, in session here, promises immedi ate prosecution of the offending circulators. Millions of copies of the spurious oath have been distributed through out the country, particularly in the south within the last three months, according to a report made by Like E. Kart, supreme advocate of the ordeiv “Our standing reward of $25,000 - to anyone, who can prove that the ‘oath’ ever was a part of the; Knights of Columbus ritual, or ob-: ligation is not sufficient to deter this libel, nor apparently is the tons of literature we have been pub lishing.” Hart's report stated. ‘‘Nothing short of criminal prose cution and the threat of imprison ment appears to be sufficient to stop it, and we will proceed forth with against those whom we can identify,” he declared. Though no fo”mal action upon Hart’s report was taken, the dele gates appeared to be in accord with his proposed measures against the pamphleteers.
