home to London from his ministry

the chaplain at Tristan da Cunha was
sick and must be relieved he volun-

After serving during the war in the
British Red Cross, Mr. Partridge en-
tered the Anglican ministry and soon
responded to the call for foreign
service in the Society for the Propa-
gation of the Gospel. He went out to
South Africa and in the Johannesburg

After other like trials, Mr. Part-

nationalities destroyed the peace of
the place and made his life one fight

i LIMITATIONS

It is wise, we say, for a man to
realize his limitatlons. By so doing
he does not rush
into things for
which he has no
fitness; he does
not attempt that
which is beyond
his powers of ac-
complishment.

Ball has little or no sense of humor,
and he has the judgment to realize
his tack. He can never see the point
of a joke even when it is explained to
him in detail. If he laughs when
some one tells a funny story it is to
be polite, and not to put himself out-
side the circle, rather than because he
is amused by the recital or under-
stands what it is all about. But Ball
neyer cracks a joke. He never launches
out, as many people dc into a narra-
tive intended to amuse and then forget
the point and ends his tale without a
«<limax. He knows his limitations and
he wisely never goes beyond them.
“Wisely,” 1 said, but [ am not always
sure that it is wise too acutely to
realize one’s weaknesses. Too keen a
realization takes the energy out of
one, robs him of initiative anu makes
one afraid at times to try anything.
We all thought Clancy less than
ordinary when he was in college. He
was handicapped in two ways. He
did not have any money and so was
forced to earn his living by acting as
a sort of chore boy in one of the local
stores at twenty cents an hour—a job
which brought him only a meager sub-
sistence—and in addition to this handi-
cap he had a dull brain. Even his best
friends admitted that Clancy was very
ordinary. But somehow he himself
never realized this fact. lie stumbled
along in his stupid way, insisting on
being a leader. He had neither tact
nor social finesse, but whenever any-
thing politicai or social was under way
Clancy was always on: hand pushing
himself to the front and insisting in a
crude illiterate way on being heard.
No one thought he would make a
success of his profession. He was too
crude, too stupid, too iacking in the
qualities which enable one to get on
with men, but Clancy never recognized
these limitations of his, and he has
got on. [It has never cccurred to him
that he is commonplace. He has put a
good estimate upon his own abilities
and with that in mind has forged
ahead. in some way lie has apparently
fooled people and they have taken him
at his own estimate. He is really quite

Ray Finds Radium
Pasadena, Calif.--When one of Dr.
Robert A. Millikan’s electroscopes, de-
veloped in connection with his cosmic
ray experiments, was enlisted as a
detective, a problem as difficult as
“looking for a needle in a haystack”
was solved within two hours.
Through the use of the delicate in-
strument $4,000 worth of radium which
was accidentally thrown out with
some ashes at the Pasadena hospital
was recovered.
John Ransom, California Institute
of Technology technician, was sent to
the hospital with one of the cosmic
ray machines and, after barrel after
barrel of ashes had been brought in
front of the electroscope the instru
ment indicated that radium was pres:
ent in the last barrel.
While hospital officials anxiously
watched the proceedings in the base
ment of the institution the barrel con-
taining the capsule filled with fifty
milligrams of the most precious sub-
stance in the world was emptied into
small boxes. It was only when the ob-
servers were about tc give up hope

that the brass tube, about the size of
a match-end, was discovered in the
last box.
The electroscope, it was stated, picks
up the radium emanations, being so
sensitive that it can record them
from a radiolite watch. Two quartz
fibers that are suspended almost to-
gether are charged with electricity,
which repels them. When the fibers
are exposed to radium, which absorbs
electricity from the air, they are
brought together, the speed with
which they approach each other in-
dicating the amount of radium in the
vicinity, No matter how minute the
radium particles, the instrument fis
said to be capable of detecting them
at a distance of 100 feet.
The radium which was recovered is
the property «of Dr. Paul Ferrier, and
is one of the two largest supplies of
the precious substance in this city. .

Is Broth
of a Boy
Atlanta, Ga.—How would you like
to be thirteen again—but seven feet
two inches tall?
That is the age and height ot Henry
Mullins ¢* Atlanta. He hopes to be a
football star at Georgia Tech some day.
Doctors say the trouble—if it can
be called that—is caused by overac-
tivity of the youth's pituitary gland, a
ductless organ below the brain. Such
overactivity causes the rise or most
giants.
Henry Mullins is in the seventh
grade in school. His report card is
usually worth showing to his father

Panama canal on their way from the Pacific ocean to meet the destroyers of
the Atlantic fleet in mock war battles.
and mother—A’s and B's. On top of
that he is a good golf player. He goes
around ‘in the 80s and some of his
drives are 250 yards.
Henry doesn’t look toward golf for
success, however. “All the club han-
dles are too short, anyway. I want
to be a boxer and a football player,
but IT can’t find anybody to box with
me,” he said.
Henry's shoes are size 14. The rest
of his attire is in proportion.
He plays end on the high school
football team, center on the basket ball
team, He drops some baskets in with-
out poking his hand over his head.
He played first base in baseball and
was utility man on the mound. Henry
is a wow in sports!
C. E. Mullins, a six footer, brother
of the young giant, claims his big
brother eats only about as much as
the average thirteen-year-old boy eats,
“only it goes farther.”
If Henry keeps on growing—and he
doesn't want to—he will, by averages
with normally sized humans—leap into
something like ten feet of humanity—
a world’s record. However, doctors
are going to give some treatments to
that little pituitary gland.

Why Hot Air Rises
Heat does not affect the pow-
: er of gravitation, for any given
weight will weigh just the same
regardless of the heat applied.
However, heat generally causes
a thing to swell and it occupies
more space. It is therefore
lighter in proportion to the
space it occupies. This relation
of volume and weight causes
warm air or hot water to rise.
