...indispensable. To complete one's study of Old English with it, however, is analogous to leaving Latin with Caesar. It is an elementary course concerned mainly with the reading of prose varied by the often delightful and always illuminating comments of Mr. Magoun. The grammar, one of the simplest, is covered at almost breakneck speed and the reading begun before the student has mastered more than the demonstrative paradigm and the representative strong verbs. That reading consists largely of selections from the chronicles, loechdoms, and lives of the saints with an occasional smattering of verse. For the man interested...

...proton, which is 1,845 times as heavy as an electron, might make an electron its satellite.

...Prince of Monaco. Mr. Clark is director of the A. A. A. S.'s press service. He must make certain that facts are fit to print. Few men with technical education can express themselves lucidly.

Especially should the broader aspects of the subject be presented, and its possible bearing on work in other lines and on thought in general." For fear...

...nucleus, it is twice as heavy as the previously known hydrogen, whose nucleus has one proton. The discoverers thought H² would be of no commercial use. It would give water different spectral color, new physical properties, but would not affect the taste. But since its nucleus is the simplest yet found consisting of more than one particle it would be a great aid in the study of nuclei, might add to data on the cosmic ray which Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan thinks is the energy re-leased by the building up of elements in the universe...
