But how does this go on? Cleveland's ingenious Surgeon George Washington Crile, who long has been studying the electronics of living things, last week offered his theory to the Central Association of Science & Mathematics Teachers meeting in Cleveland.
Every bit of protoplasm is loaded with multitudes of "hot points" or "radiogens" which produce the rays, according to him. Temperature of those points must be between 3,000° and 6,000° C. "If one could look into protoplasm with an eye capable of infinite magnification," he elaborated, "one might expect to see the radiogens spaced like stars, as suns in infinite miniature." The "interstellar" spaces absorb the intense heat of his radiogens, he reasons. The nucleus of his theoretic radiogen "would theoretically be a molecule of iron." Dr. Maria Takles, a Crile associate, figures four billion radiogens in a cubic centimetre of muscle.
