Fifty Years Of Science

The Search For Knowledge

RADIUM BLOWS UP THE ATOM

A year is all too short a time in the annals of science; Afty years is not too long for the growth of an idea from birth to maturity. But, owing to the spread or coù certed inquiry all over the world, a few years may nów suffice for the swift development of a new method and for the garnering of a crop of results.

Geology and its offspring, the atudy of fossils, both depending on observation unsupported by ex- periments, have lately offered an illustration of slow movement. It is nearly Afty years ago since Dr. Eugene Dubois 'found in Java what was thought to be the earliest human skull, and named it "Pitha- canthropus Erectus," the Ape Man who walks upright

For more than a generation this skull remained secluded, by the FLOW wish of its discoverer, who emerges to declare that the descent of man must be sought in other skulls, and that Pithecanthropus was only a gibbon which could walk upright and had a larger brain and frame than its contem-

•poraries,

Geology furnishes another illu- tration of a seeming pause in scientific thought fifty years ago. At that time Lord Kelvin refused to allow more than fifty million years for the Age of the Earth, whatever the geologists might say, and they had not then the, arcu- ments of radium to answer him.
