Aged Japanese Financier
To Take Hazardous Trip
_ '
TOKIO, Japan, Apr. 13.—Undeterr
ed by his 80 years and the hard
ships and dangers of the journey,
Baron Okura, one of Japan’s fore
most financiers, is going into the
heart of Mongolia on a business en
terprise. In conjunction with the
Prince of Mongolia the baron con
templates huge scale agricultural de
velopment there, the prince furnish
ing the land and Okura the capital.
“In spite of his' age,’ 'the baron’s
son said to reporters, “my father is
in such robust health that he insist
ed upon taking this hazardous trip
alone, but for obvious reasons we
will send several attendants, includ
ing a physician. In view of the dan
ger from bandits who infest part
of the route, an arrangement has
been made with General Chang-Tso
lin for an adequate military guard.’’
Hazel Switch Vindicated
When Diggers Fmd Water
PROEDLITZ, Szechoslavakia, Apr.
13.—The people of Proedlitz no long
er doubt the efficacy of the divining
rod as a means of locating water un
der the surface of the earth. They
have had a demonstration, they aver,
! which is conclusive.
Badly in need of a water supply
three years ago the town employed
Heinrich Otte, a local expert with
the divining rod, to locate a well.
He did so, but a shaft 90 feet deep
gave nothing but dry soil, and the
project was abandoned. The town
managed to get along until this
winter, when existing supplies be
came so scant that Heinrich again
was called in. He walked about with
his divining rod, and as he passed
over the old ■well, the story goes,
the haze switch was actually -pulled
out of his hands.
Town workmen went to the bot
tom of the old shaft, dug down six
feet more, and found an abundant
supply.
The book of successful farming
contains many clover leaves.
Gateway want-ads bring results.
British Physicist Peers
Into Ages Yet to Come
LONDON, Apr. 11.—Peering ahead
a thousand years from now, Profes
sor M. E. E. Fournier D’Albe, physi
cist, sees just two thing:
One is an utterly lifeless planet
swimming around the sun;
The other Is a planet covered with
a healthy, happy, world-wide Utopia.
The next thousand years, he be
lieves, will see one thing or the
other.
Professor D’Albe takes no stock
in the theory that the polar ice
caps might cover the world and ex
tinguish all life, but he says that
rays like the Gamma rays might
emanate from the sun some day and
sterilize all life on earth. He says:
"Gamma rays can penetrate sev
eral inches of lead. Higher up in
the atmosphere, about seven miles
up, another kind of radiation is
found against which even five feet
of lead would be no protection. If
the sun, entering an unknown part
of space filled with denser matter,
were to develop a form of radia
tion leading to a considerable in
crease in the penetrating atmos
pheric rays, the persistent action
of these rays upon the human germ
plasm might bring about tne total
destruction of the human race by
reducing its birth race to zero. The
effect might not even be discovered
until it was too late to remedy it.
. . . It is difficult to see how even
the greatest resources of science
could meet such an emergency as
that."
But assuming that the sun enters
upon no such murderous era, then
Pivfessor D'Albe says thaf the
world in the year 2025 will be a
Utopia. It will be, he says:
"A globe laid out like a huge gar
den with a climate under pe lect
cOixiiol; the internal heat of tnc
earih brought to tne surface and
utilised as a source of never failing
energy; portions »f the interior of
the earth reclaimed and made habit
ab'e; all machinery and sources of
power widely distrioutel and made
instantly available for all legitimate
purposes; the earth’s surface and
the rippling ether in which it swims
made in a vast playground of
human thought and emotion, and
all mankind throbbing in unison to
every great thought."
Communication in those great
days, he says, will be telegraphic.
Friends will send their thoughts to
one another by something more
subtle than wireless.
Travel will be almost effortless.
“Everybody will be a globe-trotter,”
he says, “but the globe” will not
be confined to the ordinary tourist
resorts. Our descendants will pay
an afternoon visit to Timbuctoo or
Mount Aarat much as we should
visit the British Museum or the
Lake district. And wherever they
go they will find friendly voices,
long familiar in the home through
the service of radio-telephony.”
In short, a universal language
will have been evolved, a sort of !
secondary tongue which everybody
will speak. Wars will have ceased,
says the scientist. “If a tribe is to
be exterminated, nobody will be
killed but all its members will be
painlessly sterilized by the rays of
some such modern means so that
the next generation will know them |
no more.’ ’
That last may sound a bit tyran
nical, but, Dr. D’Albe thinks that the
Utopia of the future will be like
that.
