Clase Prophecy CIENCE had always been my favorite study, I started it in the eleventh grade and made a special- ty of it during my college career. My interest had been centered in one particular branch-the study of Field Glasses-and it had long been my ambition to de- velop an improved type. After finishing college in 1919 I realized that my opportunity had at last come to carry out my cherished plans. For six long years Ilabored over this incessantly, determined to evolve an Exrayoscope, a glass which, as the name implies, combines the prin- ciple of the field glass with the marvelous X-raypower. At last, one day when repeated failures had almost convinced me that my hope was a vain one, success sud- denly smiled upon me thro' pure accident. Iwas seated on a high knoll in a Western Montana village where I had gone to try my experiments. Ab- sently toying with the adjustment screws of my model, I was debating with myself whether it would not be a wise move to shy it at a saucy squirrel that was barking at me as if in derision of my dejection. If the little villain comes as near as that boulder I'll smash him, I said to myself. Its bad enough to have failed, and I'm not going to stand any guying, even from that bushy tail. He scampered on toward the boulder chattering and scolding as he came. Suddenly his vituperation passed my endurance limit, for as plainly as I ever heard the words pronounced he began saying: You fool, you fool, you X-rayfooool! In another instant my instrument went whizzing in the direction of squirrel and boulder and Bunny was scampering down the valley with a Whisk of his tail which seemed to class my impotent marksmanship along with my inventive genius. In picking it up I found it was not hurt and Idecided I would now turn it towards New York. But who is this dignified individual flying in such a beautiful airship. Why, bless my heart, it is Martin 22
