BATTLE OF ATOMICAL BULLETS
TOLD TO PHYSICAL SOCIETY

Dr. Curtis Explains Experiments in Trying

Infinitely Small.
An artillery bombardment in the
world of the infinitely small, where
, projectiles traveling at an approximate
! speed of 1.100.000.000 centimeter* a
second whizzed oast objects uith which
' thev missed collision by only one-quad- ;
; rilllonth of a centimeter, was described j
before the American Physical Society l
yesterday afternoon by Dr. L. F. Curtis
of the Bureau of Standards.
The oi «•»' was to hit the nucleus of |
1 an atom and nossibly bring about the
disintegration of the atom itself In
these experiments. Dr. Curtis told the
; society. iue tracks of approximately
83.000 a*nt»4 particles shot out from
radium other radio-active material
, into the atr have been photographed to
see what would happen if one of them
did smash into an atomic nucleus
To do this it would have to smash
through the outer 'logs of electrons,
which probably are circling around the
atom in somewhat the same fashion as
planets circle around the sun. and hit
the smaller, denser collection of electri
cal particles which constitutes the heart
of the atom and which holds it together
just as the sun holds together the solar
system.
In one instance. Dr. Curtis said, this
ceme verv near being the case—the i
time when application of involved !
mathematical formulae to the photo
graph of the collision of the alpha par
ticle and the atom showed that ’he
nucleus had been missed by a quadril
lionth of a centimeter at the most. j
A calculation of th® masses from the j
effects produced. Dr Curtis said
showed that the atom struck was one ;
of hydrogen in the air rather than of i
oxvgen. Nothing very sensational hap- j
pened, save that the alpha particle was
