Elections Inseparable
From Ether Waves

A REMARKABLE theory has
been evolved by Lord Clifford
Of Chudleigh, the eminent British
scientist, as the result Of philo-
sophical calculations dealing with
the constitution Of matter. which
is composed In all cases Of cleo
irons, or negatively electrified par
ticies, attached to central charges
Of positive electricity.
The result Of his work. says
Lord Clifford, has established that
all wave-lengths smaller than 81.
$50 to the inch are what we term
positive electricity, and all wave.
lengths above $3.50 and below
10s,07s to the inch constitute mega
tive electrons. The intermediate
waves, Lord Clifford suggests.
should be called color slectrons."
a. all shades Of color are produced
by these waves Of electricity.
The radiations Of the ether which
produce color are essential. 40
oordins to the theory. 70 the al
hesion Of the negative and positive
electricity which constitutes atoms.
Tho new theory suggests that
electrons themselves are inssP-
arabic from ether waves, and once
the wave-length can be found Of
the radiation responsible for the
combination Of any one eisctron
with any other, we shall b able
to calculate the conditions under
which all n. r,sn, n,s are formed.
