To officiate at this meeting they had obtained the services of that scholar-politician who is often called "the best U. S. speech-maker": onetime (1916-21) Secretary of War Newton D. Baker.

Effects. Hurtling into a crowded world of molecules, the stream of electrons (cathode rays) bombarded whatever they met so violently that the electrons of that world were knocked abruptly out of their orderly orbits around protons (positive atomic nuclei). Instantly, X-rays were set up in the local ether. As the dislocated electrons struggled back to their original positions they made another kind of vibration, weaker than X-rays and visible as bright luminosities.
