~. moving clock runs slow as com
pared with Identical clocks at rest.
Again the effect IL great enough TO
be noticed only when the speed IS
very great. Thirdly. the measured
mass OF moving body becomes
greater the faster II goes. This pre-
dictiou % the theory has been very
accurately confirmed in the case OF
beta rays. which are minute par
ucles shot of by radium with veloc-
tiles almost as great as the velocity
Of light. Fourthly. the theory offers
A simple explanation OF why electric
currents attract or repel one an
other. In fact. the action Of every
generator and every motor In this
age OF electricity IS indisputable ev-
idence Of the correctness Of the
relatively principle. Finally the
theory predicts the impossibility OF
motion with a velocity greater than
that OF light. This IS strictly in &C
cord-with the fact that beta rays have
velocities right up 10 the velocity OF
light. but never greater.
Il must be emphasized that all
the effects mentioned above are
reciprocal If observer A IS moving
east rela tive 20 observer B with a
speed half that Of light, then a rod
held in AS hand with it's length

motion will appear TO B less than
half as long as an identical rod held
in BIS hand. But it Is also true
that BIS rod will appear 10 A less
than half as long as his own. Sim

similar watches, AS watch will ap-
pear 10 run slow as compared %
watches carried by p and other OBJ
servers at rest. and BIS watch will
appear 20 run equally slow as COM
pared 20 watches carried by A and
other observers moving along with
him. To the layman these state
ments seem contradictory. That
they are not so is clear only when
the methods OF measuring moving
objects or rating moving clocks are
carefully analyzed.

The theory Of special RELATIVELY

a falling body. which starts off

YALE PROFESSOR
EXPLAINS THEORY
EINSTEIN OFFERS
Says Principle Of Relatively
is Simple, But Hard to
Grasp at First.
BY LEIGH PAGE. PHI. d.,
Assistant Professor Of Physics in



NEW HAVEN. Conn. May Zs--
The principle Of relatively had rs
origin IN a very famous experiment
REFORMED by Prof Nicholson OF the
University Of Chicago In 1881, ana
repeated twice since with great care
first By Nicholson and Morley and
the last time by Morley and Miller.
In order 20 appreciate the signih-
canoe OF this experiment. - is ne
cessary for the reader 20 recall
some OF the characteristics Of the
motion Of light.
A century ago the English ply
sicist Young and the French physic-
g; FresneI showed conclusively that
light IL a wave motion similar 20 the
water waves which everyone has
seen running across the surface or a
pond. Even earlier the velocity with
which light travels had been mea-
sured and had been found 20 have
the enormous value Of $4,000 miles
a second This speed IS so prodig-
ious that a shot fired from the most
powerful gun in existence would ap-
near hardly 70 move at all as COM
pared with a light wave In fact, n
ray OF light could be guided around
the earth al the equator by suit
able arrangement OF mirrors, 10
would circumnavigate the globe
seven times in one second.
Light Waves Puzzled Physicist.
water waves travel on the sur
face OF water. sound waves are car
ried by the air, but the physicist was
very puzzled 10 find out the nature
Of the medium through which light
waves travel Light passes easily
from the sun 20 the earth. taking
about nine minutes 10 make the 80
600. OO0-miIe trip. But for most OF
the distance between the sun and
the earth there is no matter present.
therefore light cannot travel through
matter Hence the physicist was
forced 10 the conclusion that light
travels through a weightless. upper
cefved medium extending through all
space. and this medium ne named
the ether"
Now the earth moves around the

Il falls 70 the ground on account Of
the gravitational attraction OF the
earth. Now suppose the man 20 be
IN a large box-Hke enclosure away
of in space where there Is no grav-
itational field II he lets go OF a
stone which he has IN his hand. II
will stay suspended in mid-air. for
there is no gravitational attraction
20 make u fall. r. however. the box
In which he Is standing Is acceler-
ated upwards. the stone will appear
20 fall relative 20 the box. How
Is he 70 tell whether the stone falls
because man and box are acceler-
ated upwards. or because the box
Ia at rest on the earVh's surface
and the attraction OF the earth Is
pulling the stone down? There IS
no way in which he can tell, says
Einstein This IS the equivalence
hypothesis.
Says Theory Is Simple.
The equivalence hypothesis. to-
gether with the generalized principle
OF reIa1ivlty. has led E,instein 10 a
law Of gravitation which IS a little
different from Newton's celebrated
law. Il accounts for a vagary in
the motion Of the planet Mercury
which has been pulling astrono-
mers for half a century. II pre-
diets a detection in a ray OF light
passing close to the suns surface,
which has been verified by the OBJ
servations OF a group OF British as
tronomers at the time OF the solar
eclipse in May. 1919. Hence there
Is every reason for believing that
Einstein's theory has led TO a valu-
able correction 20 Newton's law Of
gravitation. The theory also re-
duires that measured space near
massive bodies such as the sun
should not be quite Euclidean. That
Is 10 say. the three angles OF a tri-
angle should not quite add up 10
two right angles. and the cirCum-
ference OF a circle should not be
quite equal 70 pi times the diam
eter. The divergence Of space from
it's usual Euclidean character. how
ever. IS so slight that II IS not
likely ever 20 be Of pra ctical i'm
portance TO anyone but the astron-
omer. and TO him only in the case
Of certain very refined amusements.
Einstein's theory is so simple as
60 he almost obvious once il Is un-
Herstood, but extremely difficult 10
grasp first. This article does not
attempt TO present more than bald
statement OF the assumptions on
which the theory Is based.

Says Morgan In Reply To

Charleston, w. Va, Sept. Gov
ernor Morgan has issued a state
ment replying to the criticisms mad
made by John L. Lewis, president
OF the United Mine Workers Of
America in which he says Lewis

THE position taken by John l.

until he knew that Federal troops

instruction. In truth his agents In
this district were responsible for
the armed miners continuing the or

agreed to dispense and return 10
their homes following an address by
Mother Jones

contrary, the men who are now de-
flying law and the constituted au-

take UP arms against their gov
