RICHARD MORSE : Trees in Autumn'
We shall enjoy the trees in autumn all the more if we not only admire their beauty, but try to understand some of the many changes through which they are now passing. Many of our plants are killed outright by the autumn frosts, but our trees are able to withstand them. The falling of the leaves, as well as the richness of their colouring, are outward signs to us that all is well within. They are signs of life, and not of death, for the leaves on a dead branch neither become brightly tinted nor fall. And about all this Mr. Richard Morse will talk to you this afternoon.

Sir JAMES JEANS, F.R.S. : ' Our window into space-the Sky '
Continuing our journey with Sir James Jeans through time and 'pace, we are now in imagination to charter a rocket and go on a tour of the moon. Soon after leaving the earth's surface we shall notice the sky becoming black and the sun blueish, and these conditions will persist even after we have landed on the moon, because it has no atmosphere.
