ABSTRACT
Lieutenant Colonel John Theodore Cuthbert Moore-BrabaZon is a distinguished British authority on aeronautics, 'first Englishman to fly in England,' past President of the Royal Aeronautical Society. In his Who's Who entry, Colonel Moore-Brabazon lists his recreations as 'golf, tobogganing, yachting.' Last week he was engaged in another kind of recreation which took the form of a very pleasant altercation—not only typically British, but typical of the well-ballasted wit of the man of science anywhere—with Professor Edward Neville da Costa Andrade, FRS, FInstP, DSc, Quain Professor of Physics at the University of London, editor for physics of Encyclopaedia Britannica, author of The Structure of the Atom, The Atom, The Mechanism of Nature. Professor Andrade lists his recreations as 'golf, poetry, collecting old scientific books and useless knowledge.'
