THE STRUCTURE OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT

CONTINUOUS MOTION
Frofessor A. J. Dempster, of the University of Chicago, has been awarded the thousand dollar prize of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for his proof that all matter has a wave form as well as a par-
ticle form. By photographing the
behaviour of a hydrogen atom penetrating a calcite erystal, he was able to show, says the New York correspondent of The Times, that the infinitesimal nucleus of the hydrogen atom is in a state of continuous motion at, a tremen-¡ dous speed.
Woman Knocked Down By Motor Bus
POSSIBLE SKULL FRACTURE
A serious motor accident 00- curred near the Yaumati Govern~ ment School at nine o'clock last night, as a result of which a Chin- ese woman, about whom particulars cannot be obtained, is lying in a serious condition in the Kowloon Hospital.
From the report to the police made by the driver, it appears that a vehicle of the Kowloon Motor Bus Company was travelling in Nathan Road towards Tsim Sha Tsui, when, near Public Square Street, a Chin- ese woman ran in front of the 'bus and was knocked down by the front off-side lamp.

GREAT AMERICAN ANNIVERSARIES
U.S. NEWSPAPER'S CENTENARY FIRST PROHIBITION HINT
THE "YOUNG LADY'S BOOK"
This year. Boston, the hub of the
highbrow universe, celebrates the
300th anniversary of its foundation and the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Daily Evening Transcript, which is described as "Boston's best newspaper." That even as hundred years ago Boston had the promise of the fame which it now enjoys is clear from a glance of the first issue of the Daily Evening Transcript. This journal consisting of two small sheets, first saw the light of day on Saturday, July 24, 1830. Small as it is, how- ever, it opens sufficient windows to give a picture of the Boston of that period.
