...Robert Andrew Millikan, famed physicist, first isolated the electron, detected the cosmic pulse that throbs in the solar systems of broad-girthed planets and infinitesimal atoms alike. Like Master Electrician Steinmetz, this man of twinkling blue-grey eyes and sparkling wit knows how to make scientific complexities charming as well as awesome. For weeks past in the North, South, East and West he has lectured to make laymen see the unity of movement and purpose in the cosmos enveloping the universe...

When he announced his "Millikan Rays" to the world last year, Dr. Millikan did not hazard a guess at their source. They seemed to him to be coming at the earth in all directions. In the Swiss report of last week, however, it was stated that the greatest "penetration radiation" had been detected when the pit on Mont Monch yawned directly up at the constellations Orion, Hercules and Andromeda. This observation fitted in with a theory that the Millikan Rays are the result of atoms being disintegrated during the formation of new stars, for the constellations named all contain spiral...
