SCIENCE PROGRESS.

PROFESSOR BODDY'S

REMARKABLE STATEMENTS.

THE GOLDEN AGE.

Judging by the progress already achieved the next decade way well see advances in the field of scientific knowledge which will open the way to the-true golden age of humanity. Already science, through the medium of atomic energy, has laid its band upon a tool which, if controllable to man, could diminate forever the nightmare of existence prolonged from day to day only by unremitting tail."

which the sum total of human hap- piness can-be augmented.

"That is why I as a scientific man, endorse the aspirations of the Labour movement of to-day; it alone stands for any ideal above the, tawdry-and offers a prospect of escape from the evil legacy of the old unhappy days.”

ANALYSING THE ATOM..

Professor Soddy explained that the process of radio-activity which has been going on certain elements since A Moscow wireless message an- the formation of the world releases nounces that the director of the a source of energy immensely greater Petrograd Experimental Institute, than any yet utilised Atomic par Professor Rozhdestvensky, has "dis- ticles are thrown "off the parent covered the construction of one of element, which slowly alters in the simplest atoms, that of lithium.”.

in leading mankind forward into a Dew era, Professor Soddy fears, is the well-founded fear that under existing social conditions new dis- coveries may be so mishandled as to create more millionaires and more slums.".

SCIENCE AND THE SOCIAL ORDER

The uses already made of science," he says, "show how neces sary it is that a new social order be developed before a million times more awful powers are unleased by ran. 50 far the pearls of science have been cast before those who have given us in return the desola tion of scientific warfare and the almost equal desolation of unscienti fic government...

In the world that is to come the control of financiers, lawyers, poli- ticians, and the merely possessive, or acquisitive must give place to a system in which the creative elements must rule. "

The atom was, until the discovery of the election, regarded by physical science as the ultimate indivisible parts of matter. The discovery re- ported from Moscow is the more in- teresting in view of the researches now proceeding at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, into the con- stitution of the elements.
