Misquotations of that character are very rare. They happen, of course. Reporters are humanly fallable, and the make mis- takes. But such mistakes do not happen nearly so often as the interviewed try to make out. Many a man, bubbling with .enthusiasm over a pet idea, has given out an interview about it, and then when he saw jit published and realized for the first time that some- body s toes had been trodden upon and somebody s corns crunched, has grown ap- palled at his temerity and promptly dis- claimed his interview, throwing the blame upon the reporter. Every-newspaper office is familiar with such cases, far more familiar with them than with th reporter who deliberately distorts an interview. And yet, though it may-be betraying a professional secret to say so, very. few in- terviews appear just as they were given. If they did newspapers would be a lot funnier than they are. : The other day the Baltimore Sun pub- lished an interview with a local citizen about the public schools. Here is what appeared: *No one can deny that the present embro- glio is disorganizing the schools and dimin- ishing the efficiency of the teachers. Re- ports: that: I have received: from parents convince me that.the experiments attempt- ed by Mr. Van Sickle the superintendent have failed to improve the system or to benefit the pupils. Whatever the demerits of the old curriculum, it at least laid a firm foundation and gave the public.a working knowledge of the fundamental branches. The new curriculum does not accomplish that. I believe a change in the office super- intendent would be to the advantage of the schools. The giver of this interview repudiated it. He said that that wasn t what he said at all. The trouble was, apparently, that he was a good deal braver when he was talking with the reporter than when he saw his remarks in print. So he complained he had been misquoted, and the Sun obligingly printed verbatim what he had said to the reporter. Here it is: Don't talk to me about Van Sickle. t The scholars in the schools don t learn half what they used.

During many years there was a disagree- ment between geologists and physi- 's in regard to the geological age of the uth, which the geologists estimated to be least three hundred million years, while the physicists deduced, principally from thermodynamie considerations, the compor- ively short age of twenty or thirty million Through the study of radioactivity this old ontroversy seems now to have been decided in favor-of the geologists. Some time ago Strutt deduced, from the propor- tion of helium, found in thorium ores, a lower limit of 240 million years for the age of the earth. The direct experiment, the irate at which helium is generated in-thori- anite and pitchblende. He found that the quantity of-teliam produced by 400 gram- mes of thorianite in7 weeks was certainly less than2 x 10,8 ecubi e centimenters. From this it follows that one :gramme of thorianite generates less than 3.7 x 10.6 cubic centi- meters of helium per year. Hence at least 240 million years must be allowed for the ac- cumulation of the 9 cubie centimeters of helium which are actually found jn each gramme of freshly mined thorianite. The lt;periments with pitchblende gave a elu or the rate of production of helium which is of the same, order of magnitude as the value calculated by Riitherford, but as the results are not regarded as absolutely cer- tain experiments on a larger scale have been aa When the commenced. At all events the geologists exhibition concludes on Thursday afternoon estimates of the age of the earth appear to be much nearer the truth than the estimates formerly made by physicists Scientifie American. aaa e ny eee tae na COMPLAINTS have been made regarding ing Medicine Hat s telephone service, but if the people of Ontario, where they haye. a eorporation owned system, were served as well as the Medicine Hat people, they would think the millenium had ar- rived. There may be room for improve- ments, in this respect, in Medicine Hat, but just the same we are decades in advance of the big city of Toronto, when it comes to telephone service.
