ton on our part, just is much so
as if we walked up the avenue.
But this motion in the time ele-
ment is not the same as walking up
the avenue or down the side street
or upstairs. 1t is motion in a fourth
element or dimension; and this is
something the human imagination
cannot actually envisage, though we
can reason about it very simply, as
we have just seen. Here we have
the reason for the extreme difficulty
of the relativity theory. 1t can exist
only in four-dimensional space,
time being the fourth dimension.

that the eclipse expedition was pro-
viied with a Photographic telescope
powerful enough 10 show the more
numerous faint stars. even in the
half-darkness Of the eclipse totality.
In the absence Of details on this
point we must assume that the
eclipse astronomers had calculated
IN advance what stars would be
yisible, and provided the means OF
hotographing sufficiently faint
objects to make the success Of the
axperiment possible.
Ore other point deserves atten-
ion at this time. The eclipse ex-
eriment has been variously criti-
cized in the press on the ground
hat ordinary atmospheric refrac-
ion in the solar atmosphere might
account fully for the observed bend
ing of the light; and it is true that
the outer atmosphere Of the sun
might extend far enough from the
solar surface to reach the passing
stellar light rays. Diagram
shows how stellar light. for instance.
is bent by refraction while passing
from star 5, through the terres-
trial atmosphere, to an observer on
the earth at 0. Upon entering the
outer Cand less dense) layer Of our
air the starlight IS bent downward;
and it receives further downward
bending as it passes successfully
denser and denser strata of the
atmosphere. For the densest part
Ct the air is near the earth's sur
face, the more rarohed part nigh up
in the atmosphere.
This Gradual changing Of the air
density makes the actua. path Of the
ray a sort Of curve. and the observer
at O Will see the star apparently at
s., though it is really at 5. Thus,
atmospheric refraction makes a.i
heavenly bodies appear higher in the
ky than they should appear, except
IN the case Of star located at the
observers zenith. shown at 4. The
diagram, Of course, greatly eyag-
serates ;he phenomenon, which is
very familiar TO all astronomers and
navigatcrs.' It. explanation depends
on the same principle as the appa-
rent bending of a stick when the
end is plunged into water. The stick
seems to bend at the point where it
enters the water like the light enter
ug denser strata Of air.

full address must not only include
street avenue and height of floor,
but YOU must also give the date or
time when you are there. The
time thus becomes a fourth ele-
ment of your address if you
wish it to be complete, and this
is the element added by Elm
stein. You cannot designate accu-
rately and completely the position of
point (such as the doo- handle on
your front door, unless you state, in
addition to the three usual elements,
also the fourth element Of time.
Thus, the position of a point tif
capable of motion) requires four ele-
ments to be completely fixed and de-
termined.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-30
Where's Your Door Handle?

New, is your door handle in mo-
ton? Of course it is. For the earth
is turning on its axis, carrying the
door handle with it. The earth is
also travelling around the sun in an
orbit every year, and it is known
that the sun is itself in motion, drag
ging with it the earth and its annual
orbit, too. Therefore, four elements
must be required to designate your
door handles position, and time is
the fourth element.
But Einstein has also laid down a
proposition, which to him seems
self-evident. Motion such as we
have Notwithstanding the door
handle up the street or the eartn
around the sun-thcse motions are
all relative. The door handle moves
M the street relatively to the house;
the earth moves relatively to the
sun. etc Einstein declares that
such relative motions are the only
motions that can be detected by the
human senses or by human expert
nents or observations. Such thing
"a absolute motion cannot be OBJ
served. ard never will be observed.
Therefore. your door handle may
possess absolute motion, even II II
seems to be at rest. For you can
only detect relative motions; an
absolute motion may exist and re-
main undetected. Such an unde-
tected and undiscoverable absolute
motion would, Of course, mean thal
the other parts of the house, the
earth. ETC., also were partaking OF
the absolute motion, travelling along
with the door handle.
To sum up, the door handle may
he in motion, although such motion
cannot be made evident to our
senses. and at any moment 1t taxes
four elements to designate the posi-
.;on Of the door handle, viz, name
of avenue. number Of cross street,
height Of floor. time. Change any
one Of these elements and you
change the position Of the door nam
die in space; you have moved II. Ac-
cording to Einstein, you may move
the door handle and change its posi-
tion in space just as surely, II you
let time run on, as If you carry the
door handle to the next street cor
nor Hitherto we have supposed
that time could run on without
changing our position in space; un'

marc lspse Of time may involve mo

ITO GAIN an approach to Elm
stems view, let US begin by
considering what things we
need to know IN order to state
where q certain point IS. What
do you say to a person il you wish to
tell him where you live, TO give him
vour address? You have to tell him
at least two things. These might be
the name Of the street and the num-
ber of the house, as 2959 Broadway.
rr the same address might be given
as at the intersection OF a certain
svenue and street, as the corner OF
Broadway and 10th Street.
Let us suppose that the latter
method is used. Now, in old-1ash-
ioned days no further information
would have been needed; you couid
have found the place if you knew IL
10 be at the corner of Broadway ana
11sth Street. But nowadays the ad-
dress must include another element
The foregoing two elements only h~
or determine the spot on the eartns
surface where your home is. To give
n complete address you must, IN ao-
dition. add the height Of your home
.bove the earth's surface; you mus''
for instance, say that you live on the
tenth floor. Thus, the number OF
elements in your address is increased
from two to three, and Einstein has
not yet been heard from.

This is something new. Heretofore,
the world has let science 90 its

isfaction to scientists in general to
realize that the average man is
interested in the thought that the
stars may be further away from the
earth than we have believed.
It should also be recorded that
the general acceptance Of the
theory will not affect practical
scientific matters 70 any great ex-
tent. It IS OF great Importance,
however, in that it affects the un-

While as yet it is early to discuss mayoralty candidates for the coming election in the fall still the politicians here are interested in such subjects. Just who is a likely candidate for the next mayor is a matter of much speculation. Whether Mayor Quigley is one of these is a matter of doubt although in some circles it is thought likely. It is felt that former Mayor Halloran might be induced to run again. Even P. $. McMahon is a possible candidate.
