A FASCINATING PROBLEM.
Is There Current of Ether Through
the Earth

When scientific people talk about
ether they do not refer to the atmos
phere or to volatile fluid possessing
antiseptic properties. They aIlude to an
exceedingly thin medium, supposed to
fill all interstellar space, and to per-
meate what is commonly known as mat
ter The existence of such thing has
been assumed in order TO account for
the phenomena of light. Light is re-
garded as a vibration of the ether, the
different colors~ being attributed to
waves of dissfnnilar length. Hertz
waves which are believed to be con-
cerned in wireless telegra Dhys are very
much longer than light waves, but they
travel at the same speed.
Since the earth in its journey around
the sun flies at the rate of nineteen
miles second. this question suggests
itself: Does the ether accompany it or
remain stationary2 In the former case
the ether in a room. like a scientific lab
orator'v would stay STILL In the latter
case it would flow through it with tre-
mendous velocity. Either is called. i'm

no weight. and offers no resistance to
the movements of the planets or even to
such light, gauzy objects as comets and
nebulae. But if there is any such thing
at all, either it does move or it does not.
As long ago as 1887 two American physi-
clstS-Michelson and MOFley-devised a
test which it was hoped might settle
this question. They employed for that
purpose certain optical apparatus

would pass through it in the direction of
the earth's movement. and then they
fixed It in a position at right angles
thereto. They carefully watched for any
difference in the effects upon the rays,
but discovered none. Although they
reached no positive conclusion, they
were inclined to interpret the failure to
signify that the ether moves with the
earth

ported by Lord Rayleigh at the last

behavior of the light. As yet Lord
Rayleigh hesitates to say that the ex-

may have been some Undecided fault In

lack of result means the same as did

What an Easter Sunday that was in
Arbutus! There was scarcely room in

throng who had gathered from far
and near. Every house in the village
had its guests, men and women to
whom the memories of childhood were
sweet, and they brought their boys
and girls, eager To see father and
mothers old home. Easter was late
that year, and spring was forward

out blood red tassels, and the lilac
bushes sported tiny green tufts. Ev-
cry dooryard was gay with hyacinths
and tulips and daffodis. Even in the
dark woods, which clothed the noun
tain side, there were outbursts of
golden green willow and snowy shad
blossom. The sweetness of spring and
the peace bequeathed by Christ to
earth filled the church as radiantlv as
the sunshine itself. There seemed to
be new JOY in the very peal of the
bells, and one felt the glory of the res
direction in the music that echoed and
reechoed within the walls. 4 famous

SIGNIFICANCE OF EASTER.
Is That of Life breaking Ont Owe,
Its Old Narrow Bounds and
Limitations

The significance of this Easter-time
is that of an expanded life-lifs
breaking out over its old narrow
bounds and limitations, life throbbing
out into new and more glorious
realms. Death and the grave seem to
abruptly limit life, just as the dark
ness of night shuts down and cuts
off the sunlight. Easter takes in the
morrow. The great Easter forecast
for humanity is life leaping out into
eternity as in the rock -hewn tomb
Christ disenthralled Himself of the
vestments of the grave. Who can
measure all that is meant in that
grand formula of expression:
When l awake in Thy likeness /
shall be satisied?" The Eastertids
is an earnest of the opening out of
our earthly life in itself. Many limi
tations pen US up far within the
range OF our conscious capacity for
life even while we are here. Selfish
ness and sorrow and narrow horizons
shut us in in the restricted bounds
OF this life, but the Easter opens the
door and the way out into a larger
life and more glorious liberty-"the
liberty wherewith Christ hath mad,
US free. Christian Work.
