Dr. Brush is very careful in his en-
pertinent, II upscts all We have known

DR.. A. q. Webster of Clark university.
DIR. Einstcin's theory has been
based on tho conclusions OF Baron
Eotvos' experiments with gravitation
that It acts proportionatcly with all
substances to certain degree. said
Dr. Brush.
But these experiments give radi-
cally different results from Baron
Eotvos' conclusions"
1T is more revolutionary than tho

Tho experiments will have to be
