IAN, one of the worlds most famous
living physicists, has penetrated so
far that he is ready with an hypothesis
of the structure Of the world-that is.
of the substance of both matter and
ether.
Matter and ether, he claims, are both
built up of "cosmic grains,'' spherical
in shape, enthusiastically small, which
never vary as to shape or size When
the ccsmic grains are resting upon and
supporting one other grain, the. result
is space. When piled abnormally.
that is when piled SO that each spher-
ical grain rests upon two other spheI
teal grains, in the manner in which
cannon balls are piled, the result is
matter. There is less number of
grains in spots where matter exists.
and this deficiency forms a sort OF
break in space, so that matter Is real
IL a hole in space.
DR.. Reynolds states that Newton's
law of gravitation can thus be ex-
planned in purely Dynamic way. The
pressure Of the ether per square inch
is nearly seven hundred and fifty thou
sand tons, more than three thousand
times greater that the strongest ma
.eriai can sustain. Yet, paradoxicai as
this statement seems, the truth is cor
roborated by the work done by the
great Scotch mathematician, Clerk
Navwell, who arrived at the same con-
clusion. Independently Of Professor
Reynolds.
All motion is due to pressure of
some sort exerted upon bodies Which
moye, and the motion of bodies
through universal space, that Is, gray
itation, falls under this rule.
Thus. any change of bulk or ar
rangcment in piling of cosmic grains
cause a change in volume. This is
callel dilatancy. and in order to get
any spherical grains. cosmic or other
wise. Under pressure, they must be IN
closed within bounded surface. Thus,
if shot is placed in bag, and the balls
of shot are allowed to settle by them
selves. they will settle into the small
est amount of space possible, and any
disarrangement of that arrangement oil
the separate grains will increase the
volume Now in the universe the
grains extend in normal pilins lndeh-
ritelv. and the grains are thus pfac-
tically inclosed. since they cannot
change their relative positions. Pres
sure consequently can be exerted,
whereby the cause of gravitation is

OYSTER DIGESTS ITSELF,
Prof. Pron's Explanation Starts OF
the Season.

Are oysters good for us to eat?
Professor Prom, an eminent dietitian,
says they are, provided they have not
been grown in typhoid infected beds.
He not only declares oysters to be a
highly nutritious food for persons in
good health but highly recommends
'hem also to many dyspepties who
can eat nothing else with comfort.
Unlike most other foods, the oyster
contains in itself many of the ele-
ments necessary for its own digestion.
The largest part of the bivalve is its
liver. and the very moment We begin
to chew it the digestive juices with
which this organ is plentifully sup
Piled are released and at once begin
furnishing valuable aid to our stom-
aehs.
An oyster contains about 10 per
cent. of protein, together with some
phosphorized fats and glycogen. This
is highly nutritive combination and
one which can be assimilated by the
human stomach without undue strain.
Oysters are recommended for most
dyspeptics, for sufferers from ulcera-
ton or incipient cancer of the stom-
ach and also for convalescents from
acute diseases, who usually find in
oysters stimulant for their jaded ap-
petites which no other food can give.
The only dyspeptics who should be
forbidden oysters, according to Pro-
fessor Prom, are those whose stom-
achs are hyper-acid or hyper-sensi-
tive. The oyster is too irritating a
food for such patients, as it is apt to
over-stimulate the gastric juices with
which their stomachs are already too
well supplied.-New York American.

Reticence Envelops Washing
ton on the Mexican Problem.

Reticence which has enveloped the
plans of the Washington administra-
ton on the Mexican problem for the
last few days, continued everywhere
ID Official circles. today.
Those few, who are acquainted with
what President Wilson has under con-
sideration declared that he had fixed
upon nothing as a fnality, but that
he was turning over in his mind some
definite proposals, from the same
source, it was learned that in what
ever is attempted due consideration
Of the Constitutionalists as an i'm
pertant factor in the situation, would
be given.
1t was inferred in many quarters
that the cardinal feature of the ad-
ministration's plan will be eompre-
hensive scheme to bring about fair
and free election, efforts to be made
by the American government to use
its good offices to secure the partici-
patton of the Constitutionalists.
In some quarters the suggestion was
advanced that the Washington gov
eminent, is contemplating assisting
materially in the conduct of the pro-
posed elections to insure certain safe
guards. 1t is admitted that no action
will be taken until an announcement
OF an official character is made in
Mexico as to the result of last sun
DAYS election.
President Wilson and Counsellor
John eRassctt Moore of the state de-
partment. discussed the Mexican sit
uation today, at length. As most OF the
members of the cabinet We're away
there was no session of the President:
Official family. Since the President vii
go to Princeton, n. J., Is vote, nexl
Tuesday, there will be no cabinet meet
ing then, and except for informal con-
sideration IN the interval 1t is not like
ly that any plan of action will be dis
cussed at cabinet meeting until late
next week.
Mr.. Moore did not discuss his talk
with the President.
The President had no other engage
ments, today, planning to devote him
self for the most part to the Mexican
situation and the currency problem.
Francisco Esquadero, chief of the de-
partment of foreign relations for the
Constitutionalists in Mexico, telegraph
ed tfleir headquarters here, today, from
Herm6sillo that the Federals mad
evacuated the city of Chihuahua on the
approach of Francisco (Pancho) Villa
and the Constitutionalist troops.

partment returned from Mobile, today

Mexico but took up the question OF
