...irradiation or penetrating bullets of energy, scientists have often shot away from the atom the electrons which spin about the nucleus. But if they were able to wedge apart the stable nucleus, change the number and arrangement of its protons and electrons, they could transmute one element to another, unloosing at the same time tremendous energy.

If man could make positive and negative charges rush together, annihilate their substance and become transformed into light rays...
Fortunately the "beautiful love romance" brings in its train a series of excellent "shots" of native villages in a frenzy of "juju" madness, fleeting glimpses of horrible tortures, and medicine-men dancing madly to the original Jungle Band.

This division of functions between the two clubs would seem to prophesy a successful future for them both...
