Of what effect the mild winter will
have on the crops in South Dakota
this year.
They quite generally agree that this
should not be a rust year. basing
this belief on the fact that there sell
dom have been three rusty years in
succession. Some of the experts be-
lieve that the small amount of snow
during the past winter has afforded
small protection for insect pests and
that the winter was hard on them,
the frequent thawing and freezing of
the ground serving to weaken the
eggs of insects laid near the surface
of the ground.

AIRPLANE ENGINES ARE
NOW BEING PUT IN TANKS
BY Reciprocal News Service

London. = Considerable improve
ment continues in tank construction
for the British army. The latest is
the most formidable war engine ever
devised.
AS the air service has improved and
the aero-engines have been developed,
the cast-off engines of the planes
have been fitted to tanks. During
the war, when it was felt that the
air service needed all the powerful
engines, the tanks were handicapped
by the weakness of their motors. the,
maximum horse power being about
$50. Since then, however, the air
ministry has released a tremendous
number or ESQ horsepower Rolls
Royce engines which arc fitted to-
new type TANKS which can be driven
across roads at a rate approximating
80 miles per hour, and across rough
country at 1920 miles per hour, and
are thus faster than any cavalry.
In design great Roadway has Been
made. The tanks are excellently
sprung and wear and tear is reduced
to minimum. Furthermore, the
tanks are not nearly so noisy There
is no more noise from the new type
tank than there is from a heavy
truck.
The tanks can be sealed so that no
poison gas can penetrate and the air
is kept breathable by devices similar
to these used in submarine construc-
ton.
Now that the tanks are capable of
swimming rivers it is seriously sug-
gested that the next step is the per-
lection OF q tank that could swim the
channel and then do it's work.

Einstein theory of relatively. So IL
is quite fitting that the Einstein theory
is to be subjected to new practical
test by Professor Nicholson. The ex-
pertinent has been undertaken at the
request Of DR.. Ludwick Silberstein OF
the Eastman research laboratories at
Rochester, N. Y, who has worked out
its terms. 1t is said that Prof. Albert
Einstein on his recent visit to the Uni
ted States expressed his belief in the
efficacy of the experiment.
Just what it is planned to do to- de-
termine whether Einstein's theory
holds or not is explained by Prof. Rob
ert A. Milliken, colleague of Professor
Nicholson in the department Of physics
Of the University of Chicago.
Relatively Theory.
"The special theory Of RELATIVELY,
said Professor Nilliken, ''as generally
stated, consists in the assertion that
it is impossible to detect the motion
of any body with respect to the ether.
The statement would be more conserv-
alive If put in the form that all ex-
periments up to the present have failed
to detect motion.
"Now Professor Nicholson pointed
out some twenty years ago that II the
ether is dragged along with the earth
at its surface it would have to be
dragged in a different amount near the
EQUATOR than near the pole, because
of the fact that the motion of rotation
Of the earth is greater at the equator
than at the poles. Hence one way OF
testing whether or not we can detect
motion of points on the earth's surface
with respect to the ether would be
to send light signal in different d.
rections around the earth's pole and
see whether the two signals came back
to the starting point at the same in
slant.
'.If there were any relative motion
Of the earth with respect to the ether
they would not do SO. But If the
ether in the neighborhood of all por-
lions Of the earth had the same motion
as the earth just beneath it, then the
two signals would come back at ex,
actly the same time.
"a little computation shows that
1t should be just as satisfactory to
send beam around a circuit Of known
area IN the latitude of Chicago as in
the latitude of the pole.
Professor Nicholson has therefore
agreed in view of the immense interest,
which there is now in relatively to take
up again this experiment, which has
acquired added interest because of the
fact that DIR. Silberstein's analysis of
the theory of relatively requires that
there be a positive measurable effect
when the experiment is performed in
this way.
ST the predicted amount of this eff
feet is exactly checked experimental
ly, Einstein's theory of relatively Will
receive support. If on the other hand,
as in the preceding experiment, there
should be found to be no observable
difference in the time required for the
light TO go in opposite directions
around the circuit. or If the observed
difference does not check numerically
with the computed. then the Einsteip
theory will have been disproyed.

adjustable In width and distance apart.
When the telescope is focused on a
star, instead of the stars image APP
pearing on the mirror there appears
series of interference bands, ar
ranged at equal distances apart and
parallel to the two Sits. With the Sits
properly adjusted, distance between
them is finally attained at which the
fringes disappear. A simple formula
then gives the angle of the subtended
star, and when this angle and the dis
lance Of the star from the earth are
known, Its diameter can easily be fig-
ured
Alpha is a star of the first magni-
tude, but from Alpha, say the astr0no-
mers, our earth and our sun must be
quite invisible. If Alpha were as close
to the earth as the sun is, its brilliant
surface would fill out the whole visible
heavens.
Scientists point out that the new
method of measurement must neces-
sarily be based upon the splitting up
of light, for the ray of light which we
get from fixed star is all we have to
deal with, as in the case of Venus and
other planets. In the case of a star
the most powerful telescope shows
only point of light without magni-
tude; to measure the breadth Of this
lustrOus beam was the task undertaken
by Professor Nicholson. The accur-
acy of the new method is such that it
will measure to 1-10,O00th part Of
a second of arc, which means an accur-
acy of .00O,OOO,OOO, 485.
Professor Nicholson is one Of the
foremost scientists in the. world. In
1907 he was awarded the Nobel prize
for physics and is the only American
who ever achieved that honor. While
Professor Nicholson has made numer-
GUS scientific discoveries Of the high
est Importance, his special work has
been the study of light. Accurate de-
termination Of the velocity Of light is
considered of such Importance in phys
les that scientists have been working
on 1t for centuries. The first deter
mination was made by Dane in 1876 !;
he fixed it at 10000 miles second.
Professor Michelson's method, which
was the first achievement to bring his
name to the attention of the scientific
world, determined the velocity of light
at 186,S30 miles second.
The "lnterferometer."
In order to solve the problem of the
earth's rigidity, Professor Nicholson
invented marvellous instrument,
which he called the ''interferometer."
This instrument is so times more pow
erful than an absolutely perfect micro
scope would be. The microscopes
power is limited by the length Of
light wave; and the smallest distance
1t can reveal Is one-half a wave length.
or one one-hundred-thousa of
an inch. BY utilizing the properties
of light in another manner, the inter-
ferometer can reveal distance equal
to the one-five-millionth of an inch.
1t is the principle Of the interference
method which Professor Nicholson has
applied In measuring the size of stel-
lar bodies.
1t was Professor Michelson's discov-
cries that led to the formulation of the
