The Naeare of Ether.

If any reader is disposed to object to
the assumption of a medium behaving
in such very different ways with re-
gard to motions of different speeds, 1t
may assist in convincing him that the
objection is not a valid one to direct
his attention to the similar behavior
of such familiar substance as pitch.
In moderately cold weather this ma
terial has all the appearance of a solid
and will resist a blow or momentary
heavy pressure. IT, however, a denser
body than the pitch, such as bullet,
Tor example. be laid upon its surface,
1t will gradually sink until 1t rests up
on whatever Is supporting the pitch.
If. on the other hand, the pitch Is plac-
ed upon a less dense body, such as
cork, the latter will float up through it
in the course Of time. The pitch, there
fore, exposes great resistance to rapid
motion, but the smallest pressure
causes 1t to give way If sufficient time
is allowed.-Knowledge.
