Finds Radio Wave
Slower Than Light

New York to Warsaw, Poland and re-
Elected back in O.O54 of a second of
time. The double distance is $500
miles, and the transmission comes out
about 158,000 miles per second.
.. The mean of the two independ-
ent determinations of the wireless
wave Is 165,500 miles per second.
Phenomenon is Explained.
4. What is the cause of thisf
The aetheron or particle of ether is
only one-four thousandth part as
large in diameter as the hydrogen
molecule, so that compared to ordi-
nary molecules of the size of oranges
the aetherons would be like smoke
from a cigar, and moving with a We
locity of $4,000 miles per second.
The wave travels through the solid
earth as well as through the air and
free space above the air. but &c much
resisted in the solid globe. AS the
ether is 6S9,321, 100000 times more
elastic than air in proportion to it's
denSity-thus almost infinitely elastic
the medium cannot suffer a break in
its continuity, yet the movement above
the earth is held back by the slower
movement of the wave in the earth
The resistance in the globe thus acts
as drag on the wave at it's base.
The result is that the wave bends
around the earth, as long known yet
heretofore not generally understood.
%. This bending is quite analogous
TO the change of form of water waves
as they run ashore-the top of the
wave gains on the base.
1.-THE results are of interest in con.
nectlon with the wave theory of mag
netlsm and the cause of universal
gravitation, because they bear on the
cause of the fluctuation Of the moons
mean motion"

Navy Astronomer Offers an
Amazing New Theory.

San Francisco, Cal-The discovery
that the radio wave travels slower
than light was announced by Capt.
j. ]. See, professor of mathematics
in the United States navy, government
astronomer at Mare Island navy yard,
and well known authority on the
theory of ether.
According to Captain See the radio
wave travels around the globe with a
velocity of 10000 miles a second,
while light travels 10000. Captain
See considers that his discovery in
the velocity of the propagation of the
radio wave about the earth may prove
the most notable step in the develop
ment of the wave theory since Roe
mer's original discovery of the velocity
of light in 1915.
Outline of Theory.
An outline of the chief conclusions
communicated to the London Times is
condensed below:
Il. The mean velocity of the wire
less wave was found to be about 49,
600 miles per second. This figure is
about 1900 miles per second less than
that of light, but ten years ago we did
not suspect the cause.

was sent from the sending station near

Scientist Says He
Has Weighed Atom

Paris.-The analysis of the
atom, for which scientists have
been searching vainly for years,
has been achieved, according to
an announcement by Prof.
Camille Matignon to the Society
of Industrial Chemistry.
Although the sarbonic atom
weighs billionth billionth of
one hundredth of milligram
and is ten billion Tines smaller
than the smallest object per-
ceivable through a microscope.
Matignon showed that it was
possible not only to weigh it but
to analyze its constituents by a
process of 'ionizing."
Through this process, the
atoms are charged with cleo
tricty, which accelerates the
speed at which they revolve,
thereby permitting an analysis
of comparative calculations of
their speed with respect to their
weight.
The Importance of the dis
covery is that possession of the
tiniest particle of any substance
now permits correct analysis of
the whole. In such a way Ma
tignon analysed cubic cent?
meter of air, proving that 1t con-
tanned one millionth of cubic
centimeter of helium.
