...current of electricity, become magnets when moving in circles. They travel in pairs, 180 degrees apart, neutralizing each other, and thus holding together all chemical compounds. Instead of the Bohr atom with its positive nucleus, Dr. Lewis claimed that the electrons, though having orbits, do not revolve around the "kernel" of the atom. No one has been able to work out a satisfactory path for these paired electronic orbits, but that fact does not bother the chemists so much as the physicists. Instead of a general orbit for all, like the rings of Saturn, each pair of electrons probably...
Finally--is the Church justified in existing at all, since it must keep the Creeds and believe them? "What place," you must ask, "has an organization which demands belief in occurrences science proves impossible; what place has it among modern educated persons?" There lies the kernel of the whole so-called "Conflict between Religion and Science". There is no such conflict; there never can be, for Science and Religion have no inter-relation.

I make a villain and my reader estimates that he himself will avoid the deeds and dooms of villainy." And there's the kernel of the cabbage: the reader dreams himself the man whom all the story turns about. There is the power and the pleasure of the lies that we call Fiction...
...doubt, will miss the sentiment and sensationalism to which their newspapers have accustomed them. The "human-interest" not cannot be expected; gossip, opinion, personalities would all be out of place. But among those who are tired of searching through huge areas of filler and advertising for the solid kernel of fact, there exists a real need for "Time". If its sponsors remain content to satisfy this group, "Time" will perform a good service...
