II must be confessed that some or the recent
advocacy of the new theories concerning mat

been. Sir Oliver Lodges wish to lllustrate
them with popular figure OF speech Is laud-
able. no doubt, but it may be quesuoneu
whether the phrase which described the atoii

ever admirably it may have represented us

New-York tribune., 1907-08-04
THE ATOMIC THEORY NOT YET

THE ATOMIC THEORY NOT YET UPSET.
AS was foreshadowed In The Tribunes spe
cial cable dispatches from London several days
before Sir William Ramsay presented to the
British Association for the Advancement OF
Science last week the most recent results of
his investigation of radioactive phenomena.
These were not particularly startling, and the
time for their Interpretation has not yet
rived Still as might readily have been fore
seen they served To elicit fresh expression Of
opinion from the man whom the late Lord
Salisbury once pronounced 'our highest living
scientific authority" Lord Kelvin. With only
one of the doctrines which that eminent physi-
cist discredited-the possibility of transmuta-
tion-has Sir William Ramsay identified HIM
self conspicuously, but Lord Kelvin took
casion to pay his respects TO two other theories
which are somewhat allied TO this one He
was equally emphatic in denouncng the idea
that the atom is composed of smaller PARTICLES
than itself and the supposition that matter
is nothing but electricity.
The old views on these subjects must be held
TO be sound. of course, until there is something
like an agreement that they are invalid. and
the burden of proof rests on those who assall
them. Whichever side of the case any individ-
ual chemist or physicist may be disposed to
take for moment, the intelligent outsider
must hesitate 10 change his views until the
matter has been more fully thrashed out Still.
II IS an interesting spectacle TO see SO much
genius arrayed both for and against the revolu-
tionary suggestions under discussion Sir
William Ramsay has done great deal of orig
inal work which has stood the test Of time,
but is scarcely more than half as old as Lord
Kelvin, who, since the death Of Helmhotz. has
held unique rank among natural philosophers.
Not the least interesting announcement made
10 the assembage of scientists at Leicester last

observer as his father. He finds that helium,
which has been known as a terrestrial element

ALABAMA FIGHTING THE COURTS.

defyinc a decree of federal judge. suspend
ing the operation of 4 state law until its con-
sfitufionality could finally be determined What
ever room for a difference of opinion existed
in the North Carolina case, none exists here The
position of Alabama in resisting the decision OF
Judga Zones is absurd The statute in question
seems Unconstitutional on its face Any boy in
the elementary schools could see how preposter-
Gus Il is for 4 state TO attempt 10 penaiize cit
fzen Of the United States corporation for ap-
pealing to the United States courts. Yet that Is
precisely what Alabama in this silly statute did.
The Southern Railway Company is a virginia
corporation. An Alabama man brought a SUIT
against il for civil damages in the state courts
The Southern Railway Company being a cor
norafion Of another state, had the suit trans
farrad to the rnited States courts. The trial Of
e-,s.S between citizens and corporations OF dill
farent states Is one Of the regular and neces-
earv functions OF the federal courts Yet Ala
bama had put ca its statute books at the re
cent session q law forfeiting the license Of a
CORPORATION thus causing the transfer OF case
TO the federal courts, and under il the Secretary
of State las cancelled the license of the railway

resdv been declared unconstitutional by Judge
Joues So that the act Of the Secretary OF State,
il followed up may lead 10 resistance similar
10 that of the North Carolina authorities to the
decision of federal judge.
The action of the Alabama authorities may be
purely technical. TO furnish desirable basis for
an appeal from Judge Jones's ruling but the
character of the present Alabama admnistra-
ton and the applause in Southern circles OF
North Cardinals course lend color TO the sup
position that Alabama, TOO. is engaged IN dem
o,fstrafing states rights and in teaching the
hated railways lesson-
The demagogues have gained the upper hand
10 q remarkable degree in the South In the last
two years. The recent governors in many states
have been elected distinctly as anti-railroad

tons when the railroads were scandalously
