Physicists have concluded that the
earth in its motion does not drag the
ether along with II, and thus each body
on the earth's surface. In virtue of its
motion with the earth, is traversed by
a stream OF ether. The question thus
arises: Does Hight travel through such
body with the same speed along the
stream of ether as It does against II or
across It? The experiments OF Michel
son and Morley In America lead to an
Affirmative answer for air. Lord Ray
leigh, in England has obtained the
same answer as to liquids, and Is now
engaged on research In respect to
the phenomena relating to solids.
