fatherto visita prisontherehe sawprisoners chainedtogether exercisingin theyard andbreaking stonesalong theroad.This experienceleft adeep impressionon himand madehim determined to dosomethingfor convictsand slavesand forall those who wereoppressed anddeprived oftheirliberty.On4th June,1859,while onhis way from Genevato France,Dunant witnessedthebattle betweenthe Frenchand Austrianarmies.It wasone of the fiercestbattles of the19th century.Shocked by the lackof medicalsupplies andattention given to thewounded,Dunant decidedthat volunteerservice hadto beorganized.He gatheredtogether anumberof womenwho attendedthe hundredsof woundedsoldiers ofall nationalitiesand helpedthesurgeons asbest theycould.From thatbattle Dunantdeterminedtoform abody ofpeoplewho wouldrally togetherin timesof warand attendto theneeds ofwounded anddying.Dunant heldthat asuffering humanbeing shouldbe helpedfor hisown safeonly andwithoutregard torace,religion orpolitical beliefs.Many Europeanstates

theairthat year.Doctors Stevensonis analyzingone element---carbon-14in ringfrom bothlivingand deadtrees.Some of theringsgo backalmost tenthousand years totheend of the IceAge.When Stevensonfollowed the carbon-14trail backin time,he foundcarbon-14levelschange withthe intensityof solarburning.You seethesunhas cycles.Sometimes itburnsfiercely andother timesits relativelyclam.During thesuns violentperiods,it throwsoffcharged particlesin fastmoving stringscalled solarwinds.The particlesinterfere withtheformation ofcarbon-14on earth.When theresmore solarwind activity,less
