IHI II € A INI i COLLEC COIRP n-j^K End of Rasputin In 1916, the Russian Imperial Court, con fronted with reverses at the Front, restless conditions throughout the country, needed a great leader, drew instead a charlatan, Grigori Efimovitch Rasputin. Combination medicine man, "mughik," priest, petty politician and lecher, Rasputin had lit erally lifted himself by his own boot straps from a lowly palet in a sod cottage in Pok- rovskoe, Siberia, to the most ornate and elab orate beds in Imperial Russia. Endowed with an amazing personal magnetism, and an almost supernatural power over women, both bodies- and souls, he is reputed to have repeatedly cured the puny haemophilic Tsarevitch, there by gaining complete control over the Czarina. Russia, guided from behind the scenes by the steadily miracle worker sledded down hill, while opposition to Raspu tin crystallized the nobility. in a powerful group of from Pokrovskoe, As T I M E, had it been printed in December 1916, would have reported subsequent events: As most Russians were on their way to bed one night last week, a closed car came to a stop at the side entrance of Prince Felix Yusupov's palace. Two heavily wrapped men hurried inside. One, tall, with unkempt beard and hair, dirty stained cloak, was Rasputin, Russia's mysterious power behind the throne. The other, slight, dapper, well dressed, was Prince Yusupov, husband of Grand Duchess Irina, most beautiful woman in Moscow. For many months, lecherous Rasputin had heard of the beautiful Grand Duchess Irina, was especially delighted at the possibility of a private meeting with her. As the two entered a small downstairs dining room the Prince explained to Rasputin that his wife was entertaining friends, would join them soon. While Yusupov listlessly strummed a guitar Ras putin consumed a plate full of small cakes, and in them enough cyanide of potassium to fell a squad of cossacks. Every minute expecting to see the Si berian priest pitch headlong onto the floor, Yusupov became unnerved, excused himself saying he would bring his wife. Quickly getting a revolver from a friend upstairs, the Prince returned, shot Rasputin through the chest, immediately rushed back to his friends to revive his ebbing courage with a strong drink. Returning later with his friends, he found the room empty. In the middle of the snow covered court yard they found Rasputin, crawling, a trail of blood behind him. Frenzied, they shot and pummelled him into uncon sciousness, tied his hands and legs. Throwing him into a car they drove to the Neva River, unceremon iously dumped the body in. Three days police searched for the body while Yusupov at first protested innocence. Finally the body was recovered, the lungs filled with water, showing that Rasputin was alive when thrown into the water. Yusupov finally admitted, then proudly boasted, of carrying out the assassination, and many rejoiced, but on the lips of Rasputin's followers is his oft repeated statement: "So long as I live, the Imperial Family will live, when I die, they will perish." So, too, would T I ME have reported how Yusupov was dismissed without punishment by the vaccilating Czar; how, 5 months after Rasputin's death, Imperial Russia ceased to exist; how chaos followed turmoil, the Bol shevik coup d'etat followed chaos.

The particular niche in which the d e p a r t m e nt wished to use the machine could not be filled without excessive trouble and cost. The d e p a r t m e nt looked about again. Then it was discovered t h at the construction of such a device was a very satisfactory subject for a Master's labor of t h at sort thesis in electrical engineering, and provided opportunity in theory, and practice in fine electric and photometric mea surement. for mechanical design, It found research t h at t h at W A.

Some were made of concrete, some formed of wood; none were portable or semi-portable in the size required (60 inches inside diameter). It was deemed necessary to have the globe photometer readily portable through doorways; consequently it was a p p a r e nt t h at t he globe should be easily dismountable into portable parts. This determined t he feature of two hemispheres each s u p ported on its own tripod equipped with casters. The h e m i spheres were to join on a vertical plane and each was to con sist of eight equal segments of a hollow sphere. Unexpected difficulty was encountered with t he foundries making alumi n um castings. None was willing to undertake t he casting of sixteen identical segments of a hollow sphere. Finally a small foundry, under protest, agreed to make six teen a l u m i n um castings as nearly alike as probable warping would permit. T he castings did warp some, but were bent into shape and by scraping to a template and there was obtained a practically perfect hollow sphere. fitting The inside finish h ad to be flat white, permanent, firm, and the United States B u cleanable. There was obtained from reau of S t a n d a r ds a process of finishing which was highly recommended. Beginning with sand blasting of the surfaces it continued through eight coats of various special paints. The resulting finish is hard, non-glossy and very white. Page 6 Michigan State College Record THE reason t h at t he finish must be non-glossy or "flat" is t h at every bit of t he interior surface of t he sphere must help to illuminate one certain small area the sphere when one light source is placed inside.
