DR.. Osborne Reynolds, of Owens College,
Manchester, England, one Of the worlds most

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,
infntesimally small which never vary as to
shape or size When the cosmic grains are
piled normally. that is, each grain resting
upon and supporting pne other grain, the re-
