ployment to select the great men of
fiction who -were anything but "hon-
orable" from the standpoint of their
contemporary writers.
Regard, if you will, the cases of
Nietzsche: Anatole France, Gerhart
Hauptman, Byron or even Tolstoi (in
his earlier period). Of, if you, ish
examples from our own literature
consider Whitman, Paine and Theo-
dore Dreiser. Even now, one can,
bardly mention in any respectable

ponent of truth, Tom Paine, without
being subjected to stares which are
anything but complementary. Antd it

were certainly not considered honor-
able supports in thetemple of our
literature. In fact, in the majority,
of cases, it is only mediocrity that
can gain the attribute of "honorable"
with one sweep of the pen.
But still I haven't sai~d what I
started with the intention of saying,
When the critic used the term which
I have repeated so oftenr ,I am sure
that he did so without thinking much'
about it. And that is where he made
his mistake. From what I know of
the attitude of this critic and, in pair-
ticular, his attitude to the writer of
whom he was speaking, he undoubt-
edly had no idea of the injustice
wvhich he was doing her. So the story'
which I related has some bearing up-
on what I w hnt to say. It is that the
critic should be more careful of the
terms he employs. It is so easy by
a single word to give an altogether
erroneous impression.

The QUaker who..made
Chemist'ry a Science

AVENDISH had shown
that two volumes of hy-
drogen and one ofoxygen
always combine com-
pletely to form water and nothing
else. Proust, a Frenchman, had
proved that 'natural and artificial
carbonates of copper are always
constant in composition.
' "There must be some law in
this," reasoned Dalton (766-
1844), the Quaker mathematician
and school teacher, That law he
proceeded to discover by weighing
and measuring. He fQund that each
element, has a combining 'weight
of its own. To explain this, he
evolved his atomic theory -the
atoms of each element are all.
alike in size and weight; hence
a combination can occur only in
definite.proportions.
Dalton's theory was published
in I8o8. In that same year, Na-

poleon made his brotherjoseph
king of Spain. This was considered
,a political event of tremendous
importance. But Joseph left sno
lasting impression, while Dalton,
by his discovery, elevated chem-
istry from a mass of unclassified
observations and recipes into a
science.
Modern scientists have gone be-
yond Dalton. They have found
the atom to be composed of elec-
trons, minute electrical particles,
In the Research Laboratories of
the General Electric Company
much has been done to make this
theory practically 'applicable so
that chemists can actually-predict

trical properties ofQcompounds yet.
