Wozzeck's plot is surprisingly old to be the perfect counterpart of Berg's ultra-modern score. It was written nearly 100 years ago by Georg Büchner, a German poet-scientist who had ideas far ahead of his time. Büchner died at 23 in Zurich where he earned a doctorate with a treatise on the nervous system of fish. He left three plays: Leonce and Lena, written while authorities were hunting him for his revolutionary sympathies; Danton's Tod, given in the U. S. a few seasons ago by Max Reinhardt...
Died. John Francis Stanley, Earl Russel, 65, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for India, brother of Philosopher-Mathematician Bertrand Arthur William Russell (who succeeds to the title); of heart disease; in Marseilles.

He divorced his first wife, Mabel Scott, in Reno and immediately married Mollie Cooke, twice-divorced sister-in-law of the Bishop of Kilmore. Since his divorce was not valid in England he was charged with bigamy, tried in the House...
...irradiation or penetrating bullets of energy, scientists have often shot away from the atom the electrons which spin about the nucleus. But if they were able to wedge apart the stable nucleus, change the number and arrangement of its protons and electrons, they could transmute one element to another, unloosing at the same time tremendous energy. It has been estimated that one million horsepower would be given off for one hour in forming 4 gr. of helium out of hydrogen. If man could make positive and negative charges rush together, annihilate their substance and become transformed into light rays...
Quite as arresting as such phenomena is phenomenal Charles Fort, who puts such questions with an accusing grin at Science. He is a world's champion professional anti-scientist. For 23 years he has grubbed in museums and libraries for records of occurrences which scientists can explain (thinks Fort) only by ridiculous hypotheses or denial that the occurrences occurred...
