"The fact is that contained in the properties of matter there is an im- mhense source of energy #6 far inace cessible, but which, I see no reason why the progress of discovery should not make available," He referred to atomic energy which, if it could be utilised on an extensive scale, would, he believed, greatly ameliorate the conditions of factory life. There would be no smoke, he said, due to imperfect combustion and no dirt due to the transit of coal and ashes, while the power 'would be very compact and Possibly there might ocea- sionally be -explosions due to the liberation of power more "quickly than it was wantad but in géneral he presumed that the conditions of utilization would be goodt Sir Oliver expiained that the se- cret of this power began to be given away when radio-activity was dls- covered, and said that at present we were hardly at the beginning of its utilization. The discovery of radium, which soon followed, excited univer. sal interest and aroused great sur- prise, because radium appeared to being consumed. - "The truth is," he said, "that it did disappear--as it gave off its en- slow and the energy given off so re- markable that it fs not surprising that one is noticéd before the other. The energy of radium, however, is apd it emits en- ergy at its own proper rate without' {then a particle is projected. The en- | ergy stored in an atom Is something | enormous, and if we could make | atoins fly off whan we wanted there | would be available a source of en- | ergy whieh would put everything | ¢lse into the background. This en- ergy is contained in all forms of mat- { ter and is not confined to radlo-active substances. If a stimulus could be { found the utilization of this source of | energy would be possible, | "It you were able to use mechani- { cally the™ energy contained in an | ounce of matter, and you reckon the | foot tons thereby obtained, you will find enough energy to raise the Ger- | man navy and pile it on top of a | Scottish mountain." Perhaps it was {a good thing, Sir Oliver concluded, { that a nation such as the allies had { had to deal with during the past five { years had not made the discovery, | and he hoped the human race as a { whole would be equally unsuccessful {until it had brains and morality | enough to use it properly, tor if such ] ' & discovery were made before its time and by the wrong people the very planet would be unsafe, Your Savings | | Mean Much To You They are as import ant to you as his mil- lions to the millionaire -- perhaps more so.

Grape culture disappeared there forty years ago when phylloxera, the plant louse, killed all the vines, which were up rooted and the land on which they had been grown was devoted to other crops.
