But white haired scientists shook their heads in dismay.

he said, "has Dr. Dirac," developed a theory which, so far as I understand it at present, com monds itself greatly to me. It is quite new to me, and I am fascinat ed by it. I think it should, when developed, lead us on the way we want to go."

The main point made by Dr. Dirne appeared to be that certain particles charged with negative energy travelled in the opposite direction to the forces acting on them that is to any, in the direc tion they might have been expected to travel if positively charged..

In 1928 the authorities of the Sydney Museum, Australia, offered £3,000 for the chest, provided its claim to be Captain Cook's chest could be authenticated. At its authenticity was merely a matter of word of mouth-the chest had been handed from one generation to hii- ather-the offer fell through.

The chest was then sent to the auction room of a London antique definite proof, failed to reach its dealer, but because of the lack of reserve.

Eventually Mr. Summer, who had heard of the chest's history purchased it for a few
