not to Newtonlan. 1t has proved
many other Einsteinian claims, but
we cannot go into them here.
The moon and the planets refused
to conform to Newtonian gravitation
especially the planet Mercury OBJ
servation proves that they do con-
form to Einsteinian calculations.
Triumphs of Relatively
The following are a few of the
triumphs of Relatively: It accounts
for the deviation of the planets from
Newtonian figures and points out how
much. 1t predicted small but very
remarkable alteration in the appar-
ent position of the stars, which was
verified at Sobral. 1t has recalled
gravitation from it's isolation and
fitted it into the general scheme Of
physics, thus bringing the kindred
sciences of optics and electromag-
netics into the field. 1t has proved
that mass and energy are two phases
of one and the same thing--matter,
thus silencing forever the two schools
of philosophy which ever kept bick-
ering as to which was first, matter
or energy. This fact may in time
revolutionize industry, as every thin
BILE full of dirt possesses the atomic
energy equivalent to what we now
get out from burning three thousand
tons of coal.
Origin of the Theory: The Ether
When men began to study the be-
havior of light, they found many diff
culties obviated if they assumed the
existence of medium on which light
would travel. Much as waves travel
on water. They accordingly took an
old idea, currycombed it, caparisoned
it in new harness, and trotted it out
under the name of Ether.
Again, when the Greek theory of
the structure of the universe was
supplanted by the theory based on the
studies of Bruno, Calico. Coperni-
Gus, and Newton, the earth lost con-
siderable of it's importance. 1t was
kicked out from the center With
this Importance went the absolute
Reference Frame which it was sup
posed to contain. At last after
much wandering, the absolute Refer
ence Frame found lodgings in the
newly-found ether.
But if ether existed at all, it had
to either move with the earth or
whizz through it. Some very inter-
esting experiments were made by
scientists but without definite results.
Till Sir Oliver Lodge came and won
renown by means of series of ex-
periments which proved conclusively
that bodies including our earth did
not carry any such strange substance
with them as ether.
Then Nicholson (whose contribu-
lions to the worlds intelligence will
form the subject of paper in this :
series) came and tried to find out the
characteristic properties of this ether
drift as it affected the earth-and
found that he could not discover a
trace of this much renowned ether.
All the foremost scientists of the
world got excited and began to try
to account for the failure to discover
any ether, in various ways. Till at
last Einstein came and showed that
no ether was necessary at all, SO far
as any absolute frames of reference
were concerned. Since there were no
absolute frames-and therefore there
was no need of the substance in which
this frame was to be lodged. Hence

sion. Let us QlV1Qe IL INTO TWO parLS /:
Cd Relatively teaches that both
time and space are relative with re-
spect to matter in motion, both grow
ing shorter or longer with the speed
of an object. This matter represents
a variety of possible ways by which
to be measured. The child and the
barbarian see only the outer surfaces
two dimensions-and rarely ever
think of the mass behind 1.-THE third
dimension. AS mentality develops it
grasps the existence Of this mass,
though it can hardly visualize it. For
purposes of convenience it cuts this
shapeless and formless mass into
bodies possessing three dimensions
cubes.
It is therefore possible to stretch
ones imagination and conceive body
of four dimensions, though we may
not be able to visualize it. With such
an imaginary solid in mind, the math-
ematician sits down and figures out
what sort of shape it ought to have
how many faces, lines and angles.
Thus higher mathematician tell us
that a solid of four dimensions must
be bounded by eight cubes, just as
the cube is bounded by six squares,
must contain twenty-four squares,
thirty-two edges, and sixteen corners.
(Slosson.)
(2) The other phase of the Elm
steinian Fourth Dimension is this:
The moment matter begins to act, the
question at once arises, When? At
what time? And how much of this
time is consumed? There was fire
at State Zone dimension) and Madi-
son 1.-TWO dimensions) on the eleven
teenth floor (three dimensions) at
five o'clock flour dimensions). Elm
stein merely insists that for civilized
man to give description of any
event or occurrence which is to be at
all complete, must contain four di-
mansions, each of which is no more
and no less important than any one
of the other three. This theory had
been worked out by Hermann Min
kowski and found a definite place in
our science as result of Relatively.
Perhaps Eddington puts the problem
best: "The fundamental measurement
is not the interval between two points
in space, but between two points of
space associated with instants Of
time"
The amateur mathematician will
object, on the ground that this would
often involve us in the difficulty of
multiplying horses by cows, as it
were. To obviate this difficulty Elm
stein takes the invariable unit of
length which light travels in sec
ond-186,000 miles-and uses either
a fraction or multiple of it to rep
resent the time element. Thus, in
stead of having three lines and say
half second, he has four lines; three
Of them representing the boundaries
of the solid under consideration, and
one representing time consumed.
Einsteinian GravitatiOn
Newton lays down laws which are
marvels of ingenuity and perfection
superhuman. But unfortunately ma
ture rarely abides by laws we humans
lay down for her. Looked at from
the higher plateau of truth, one must
bow his head and humbly admit that
there are no laws in nature. We mere
ly pick out a paltry few cases where
certain tendencies seem uniform in
their effects and proclaim these as
laws of nature. This is to our bene-
fit and helps us live and thrive; other
wise we would be constantly Keeling

Sufragist Prospects in
Brazil Now Promising

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 11.-Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait. the famous
American woman suffrage leader who
may visit this country to assist the
local organizat ions lin their fight for
the vote, Will find the campaign well
under way upon her arrival.
At the moment the battle is cen.
tered about a bill which is under
discussion in the Chamber of Depu
ties. If the bill becomes a law
which is said to be more likely this
year than at any previous time in
Brazills history, the women OF this
land will be on the same political
fJOting as the men.
PUblicists and the press have taken
UP the fight, and all the arguments
that preceded the granting of the
vote to the women of England, Amer.
lea, Norway and the score of other
countries where equal suffrage is now
a matter of course, are being put
forth here with the same, if not q
greater degree OF enthusiasm, as in
The other countries.
Even the opponents of the idea
admit that eventually the women
will have their way. They are op
posing the bill merely to preserve
mans present advantage as long as
may be possible.

THIS STARTS THE STORY.

A weekend house party is be-
ing held at the home Of RATHER
inc and Bingham Harvard
Among the guests are Clancy,
Archer, Demming, Sears. and one
Conrad Belknap. Katherine dis
covers Belknap cheating at q
game OF cards. She demands
that he Ieave her house immed-
ately. He scornfully refuses to
do so. Katherine is about to tell
her husband of the occurrence,
but hesitates owing to a peculiar
influence which Belknap seems to
exert over her. Convinced Of his
deception, however, and suspi-
coius OF his actions, she is all the
more determined to ferret out
his real identity. Katherine has
formerly had an experience as
a police headquarters detective
under the name of Lady Kate of
the Police. She intercepts a tel
ephone call of Belknap's and dis
covers the name and address of a
woman confederate whom he
calls Berta. She learns that
Belknap has set afoot some
scheme. Realizing that he is sus-
pected by Katherine, Belknap
threatens to expose the fact that
Katherine's brother, ROderick
Maxwilton, who is believed by
his parents to be dead, faces a
term in prison. Bingham Har-
ward, who once bore the alias
"The Night Wind" becomes
suspicious of Belknap and Kath-
crimes attitude toward him..
Katherine's parents arrive at her
home. Senorita Cervantez, a
pianist, also arrives. She appar-
entity is unable to speak, and
writes her words on a pad Of
paper. It is revealed that she is
Berta, or Roberta, the confeder-
ate of Behnap. Belknap is mys-
titled at her pretense of being
dumb. Harvard attacks Belknap
one night after he has received
notes from both Katherine and
Roberta from a balcony Of the
house. Belknap does not recog-
nize his assaiIant. Shots are
fired at supposed burglars. Kath-
crime hidden in ROberta's room
at midnight, witnesses a quarrel
between her and Belknap in
which he accuses Roberta Of de-
ceiving him. Later, Katherine
discovers Roberta in the grounds
with a strange man, whom she
believes to be her supposedly
dead brother, Roderick.
