Gravitation has been one Of the
great, unexplained, mysteries Of the
ages. because centuries before New
ton great thinkers speculated on
the cause Of the fall Of bodies
toward the earth. and Newton's dis
cOvery of the law" Of gravitation,
or its mathematical principles OF
action. and his theoretical extension
Of its field 70 include the motions Of
all the heavenly bodies, did not af-
ford even a CLEAN Of light on the
nature Of the wonderful force. New
ton remained totally ignorant on
that score
Many have long guessed that
electricity would eventually furnish
the desired explanation, and, in
deed that gravitatiOn would turn
out to be simply a particular form
of electrical energy. OF course
electricity itself remains mystery,
but nevertheless. an immense step
forward will have been made II we
can show that electricity and gravi-
tation are essentially identical III
their nature. just as il has already
been demonstrated that light and
electricity are but two expressions
of one primal energy. 1t Is all
part of the grea doctrine Of evolu-
ton. whose central idea is that the
universe is not the patched-up
product of an endless series of sep
arate creations, but the harmoni-
Gus result of the development Of a
single original principle which en-
closed the germ Of all.
II begins 10 look as if when We
in these latter days, began 10 put

Again ne says When either the
positive or the negative terminal or
the machine was applied the at
traction of the large masses for thu
suspended masses was diminisheG.
II required several hours for the de-
crease in gravitational attraction 20
reach a limit Then when the othe-
terminal was applied ono direct
contact with the conductors existing
in either casel. the masses SLOWLY
returned to the original position
In explanation OF his statement
that if the negative electricity
could be Withdrawn from Tn.
earth's surface gravitational attrac-
ton would cease. we may refer ta
his description of an experiment lr
which the positive terminal was ap-
pied. without contact. and "nega-
tive electrons were drained FROM
the air surrounding the large
masses and from the outer surface
Of these masses" Gravitational at
traction was thus reduced 20 zero.
The decrease required FIVE hour.
Afterward. on application OF tho
negative terminal. the suspended
masses swayed back again.

II is always the imagination that

way 70 overcome gravitation. II

men and women floating among the
telegraph wires and over the chin

them had discovered "a method OF

name OF "gravitational repulsion."

ally ascertained fact, Professor
Francis +. Nipher. a well known
American man OF science. declares
that. through the Intervention OF
electricity. ne has succeeded not
only in diminishing the attraction
OF gravitation TO zero. but in con-
verting the attraction into a repul-
sion more than twice as great as
the normal attraction.
If this turns out TO be we'll
founded ii will be one OF the most
astounding and revolutionary dis
coveries ever made. and Professor
Nipher will be fully justified in his
assertion that "if electricity can al
ter tie gravitatiOnal attraction OF
the bodies used in my experiments.
the same force can alter the
earth., attraction" The tremen-
dOus significance Of such a state
ment is indicated by his additional
assertion that If the negative cleo
tricity could be drawn from the
earth's gravitational attraction
would cease and the conference Of
the earth's surface would be disas-
trously affected

Why Evolution is Not

The young man had shown evidences
Of mental unbalance. his hallucina-

war. Prior to the appearance OF the
officers 1t was said that LeDuc was
telling about his bravery and how he
could overcome a regiment, more or
less. If he met one. After he was placed
in Jail he found u cake of soap that
had been left in the part into which he
was placed. and before the officer
could say Jack Robinson or any
other common phrase. LeDuc had a
mouthiul of the soap and seemed to
delight in chewing it. He will be
observed for two or three days to de-
tcrminc whether he ought to be
brought before q commission to de-
terminc whether he is sane.
