Coach Nal MOrrell
To Size Up C0ny
Grid Men Monday

The first call for football practice
at Cony High school for the season
has been sounded by Coach Nal
Morrell and on Monday morning at
10 o'clock the squad will gather for
the first time to give Nal a chance
to size them up. The practice will
be continued regularly throughout
the week and will be quite easy to
give the boys a chance to harden in.
There will be falling on the ball,
kicking and other forms of practice
ta,t will not lame the boys up too
bad. It is expected that there will
be a large squad from which the new
coach may select his team.

and even larger crowds than have
been on hand to these games are
expected in the future. The new ad-

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS OF
A TEST FOR EINSTEIN
Giant Crystal Found to Weigh Same in All Posi-
tions, Indicating Non-Existence of Ether

obtained with them Einstein's
abolition of the ether will be
INDICATED. Well, then, let US
see what the nature Of the expert
ment is. 1t is an experiment in
weighing, made with an appa-
ratus of almost unbelievable deli.
cacy and with a skill Of manipu-
lation nearly as incredible. It is
sufficient to say that with this
apparatus a difference Of tam
perature Of a THOUSANDTH OF
A DEGREE between the two
arms of the balance would pro-
duce an error of a hundred.
millionth part in the weighing,
and such an error would be re-.
garded by the experimenters as
enormous"
But what has the weight Of .
crystal to do with Einstein's
theory? For answer, consider
that weight is produced by the
earth's gravitation, and it has
been supposed that gravitation
itself is caused by streams of
ether particles pushing against
the atoms of the bodies. Now, in
a crystal the atoms are arranged
in regular order, while in amor
phous, or uncrystallized. bodies
they lie ''every which way"
The difference has been Illus.
trated thus: Take barrel OF
nails; 1t may represent an amor
phous body, because the nails,
standing for atoms, are placed
helter,skelter, pointing in all di-
rections. Now magnetic the nails
and shake them up until they ar
range themselves so that all point
the same way, and you will have
a representation of crystal.
Such being the case, it may be
supposed that the particles of
ether, whose bombardment, or
push, causes the apparent attrac-
ton of gravitation, would encoun.
ter more resistance In passing
through a crystal in one direction
than in another, and that the
weight of the crystal would vary
according as it's ranks of atoms
were presented sidewise or length.
wise to the ether stream.
If the theory is true, evidently
the ether would find more re.
sistance, and therefore produce
greater gravitational effect, or
weight, when its push was across
the lines of atoms than when Il
was parallel with them.
In the Washington experiment
the weight of the topaz was ex.
actly the same, as far as the ex,
ceedingly delicate weighing appa,
ratus could detect. In all positions
of the crystal; whence the conclu
sion that Einstein was right in do
claring that no ether exists.
But the proof is not by ans
means a decisive one. for IL is
based on an improved assumption
viz. that the ether. II II exists
does act in the manner supposed
to produce the weight Of bodies

been a faithful slave Of the lamp,
for science, is a myth. There is
no ether, says Einstein, and
what you thought were effects
caused by it are due only to the
crookedness of space. OF course
he doesn't use those words, but
that is as near as ordinary minds
get to what It means.
