He Is one of the best known physicists in the world and has deoted much attention in recent years to radio activity. I Dr. Itobert B.

Aristotle forms o.uitc a prominent fig ure in the history of the science, he being the first man to advance the theory of a universal element binding all the others together. Aristotle made up a schedule of con structions and juggled with it to the mystification of all his followers. He said the four elements fire, air, wuter aijd carth-are not single und definite substances, but derive their existence from other more primal elements. Thus, fire was composed of heat and dryness, air of heat and moisture, wuter of cold and moisture und earth of drjuess and cold.
