SCIENTIST DISCOVERS

New York. July l1--Scientists In
New York were greatly interested to-
day In the announcement of Profess
sor Thomas Jefferson Jackson See.
q noted astronomer, and at present
United States naval observer at
Mares Island that he had discovered
the cause Of grayitation.
Professor See made the first public
statement OF his theory today In st.
Louis. although Q treatise on the SUBJ
ject has been In the possession OF
past five months. 1t was to this
society that Sir Isaac Newton an
nounced his laws OF gravitation In
1855, and Professor See thought 1t APP
propriate that his own theories be
given first to this body.
Briefly. Professor See contends
that Gravitation 10 an electrical
phenomenon which is caused by eie-
mentAry electrical currents circulat-
ing about atoms of matter.
The theory OF Professor See ID an
extension and elaboration OF physical
laws first demonstrated by the French
physicist Ampere. ninety-five years
ago Ampere, whose name has been
given to denote the unit of electrical
current showed that two parallel
currents of electricity flowing in the
same direction attract each other but
repel when flowing in opposite d..
irections Much of the complicated
electrical machinery of the presen,
day Is made possible by the applica.
| ton OF this principle Professor See
goes far beyond the hypothesis and
asserts that the entire universe Is
governed by forces depending upor
electricity In motion.
