~ "Will you kindly explain
what is absolutely known as
ether? If the space beyond
the atmosphere is ether
how is it possible to analyze it's COM
ponent parts, or to obtain it in its
present location?"
A. Absolutely nothing. 1t is not
known if ether exists. Professor A. A.
Nicholson, of the University of Chi
cago, has, after long-continued and ex-
cessively refined research, failed to de-
tect it's existence. Modern science has
measured physical dimensions of the
one-seventymill part of an inch,
but no ether comes within this limit.
His methods were of interference of
waves of light in the interferometer,
one of the most delicate and sensitive
instruments yet made by human
hands; and also by processes based on
the motion of the earth through inf
n.te space.
l have looked with awe and admira-
ton on these early mechanisms, but
have not seen the last, those that he
used. But l did go to Winnipeg, Mani
toba, to see and hear. The occasion
was the meeting of that magnificent
body, the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, in October,
1909. J. j. Thompson, president and
Ernest Rutherford, vice president Of
section A, made elaborate reports of
their researches on the capital dis
covery since man appeared on earth,
namely, of electrons listened day af
ter day to an interminable array of alb
solute facts and the highest of high
mathematics.
The result &C the entire week Of in
tense study was that a row of cleo
irons side by side, one inch long,
would contain 12,700.000,0 900, and
a cubic inch, would contain, if they all
were side by side, 20.495 followed by
thirtysix naughts. But one cubic inch
actually contains only II followed by
eighteen naughts! Then space is in
deed nearly empty.
There is no longer any use of the

 There was large attendance at the meeting of the Stafford Business Mems association held at Society hall last Wednesday evening, to listen to the explanation by Walter G. Cowles o1 Hartford, president of the Tray elers insurance company, of the work. mems compensation and employers liability act, which goes into effect Jan. 1st. MT. OoWles was an inter- esting speaker and he gave his inter- pretation of the act and it's work kings as it affects employers of labor. Af- ter his remarks questions were asked MT. Cowles by different ones present in regard to points that were not fully understood. According to MT. Cowles, all employers of labor, of one hand or more, will be subject to the pro- visions of the new law, and that at the outset it was probably not the in- tention of the general assembly to in- clude under the act the employers of less than five persons, but the slip was made by making exemption under part A and leaving it out of part B. A bulletin of preliminary information in regard to the law, issued by the state commissioners on the law, may be obtained at the town clerks office.
