Sir William Bragg, Director of the Laboratory, is in America, where he is to receive the Franklyn Medal of the Franklyn Institute of Philadelphia, the, highest honour which American' science has to offer. The manner in which X-rays are being utilised for chemical research was ex- plained by Dr. A. Muller, assistant director..
"X-ray analysis," he stated, "is undertaken with a new microscope, by which we can observe smaller quantities than by any of the older methods. A general result has been to show that almost everything, including paper, is crystalline in structure.

Pearls, too, have been tested by this means, and are regularly sold with a guarantee to this effect. At present such work is largely empirical, but Dr. Muller considers that ultimately it may be possible to influence the delicate changes of constitution which play important a part in the industrial world.

"Yesterday's theories of the laboratory are applied to-day in industry," he added. "I look for- ward to a time when Quantum Mechanics, the latest and most delicate of scientific weapons, will be applied to control the practical processes of chemical industry. Only when the architecture of the atom is more fully understood will the more detained control of its behaviour become possible,”,
