Will the energy of the atom ever be applied for the benefit of mankind?
The Due de Broglie the distinguished physicist confessed to the "Daily News" recently that, although he has analysed the iz atom for close on 10 years, he was at loss to say whether the undoubtedly enormous energy it possessed could ever be applied to the pro-Dlems that beset the world.
He works in a marble-walled laboratory in Paris—sometimes for days without food or sleep.
"I shall," he declared, "continue to study." I feel I must go on. Habits formed and, as it were established over a' period of 10 years are hard to break.
"If ever the energy of the atom wore liberated its effect might well revolutionize the future of the world; but it is too much to hope for—our task is to hope on and search."
