In the senate the interstate COM

may mean that the question of in

taken care of by amending the bill
of Senator Key Pittman of Nevada
which is a duplicate of the original
Adamson draft. A separate measure
may have to be passed upon by the

is of uniform density throughout
space, its density, as a matter OF
fact. increases outwardly from all

Island. near here. asserted in an
address to the California Academy
of Science here last night.
In announcing the discovery of
"a fundamental law of the density
of ether in the celestial spaces and
the cause of molecular forces
Professor See said the homosenity
of ether had been taught by such
eminent philosophers at Lord Kel-
win, Maxwell, Poincare, Lodge. and
Larmor, while Sir Isaac Newton in
1921 had believed it to De hetero-
geneous, with density increasing

discover the law of the density or
to adduce proof of his opinion.
whereas Professor See said last
night that proof of his discovery
had been examined by leading -Ari-
erican mathematicians and pro
nounced ineontrovertible.'
Professor See presented his find
ings that "the ether about the sun
and stars is filled with electromae-
netic waves with. amplitud2s vary
ing inversely as the distance. which
leads to forces varying inversely as
the square of the distance" This,
he said. explains universal sravi-

elusive manner"

drops of dew, globules of mercury
and the round figure taken by shot
and other molten metals. The waves,
he said always act to make the
surface of a liquid drop a minimal
surface, which is shown by mathe-
maticians to be that of a sphere.
"Capillarity, chemical affinity,
surface tension, adhesion, and CO.
h~esion," were attributed by Profess
sor See to wave action. Heretofore,
he said, the mystery of molecular
forces has challenged the ingenuity
of philosophers.
Professor See, who attracted the
attention of the scientific world in
1917 by a treatise on the of
gravitation, published in Boston.
London and Paris, said the old
world vas so much injured by the
war that scientific progress for a
long time to come would depend
mainly upon America.
I'VE can not expect any real
light from Europe" he said. "and
the public should therefore accus-
tom itself to supporting American
leadership in science"

that ether is 219 times denser at
the earth than at the suns sur

of a millionth of a millionth of
