Fat-bellied bosses swearing volubly.

Two days in which the young work

their ding hours and their short purses.

John w. Davis for President
What BRYAN Said. What Will VOTERS, Including
Yourself, Say?

John W. Davis ''of West Virginia" able and capable
gentleman engaged in the practice of corporation law
York City is chosen by the Democratic Convention
ddate for President.
Mr. Davis the lawyer of j. Pierpon Morgan Company
and j. Pierpont Morgan Company is the great British
American banking firm Its heart is twothrds British at
least assuming that the firm has any gratitude
The head of the firm taught banking in England as
youth
The firm that Mr. Davis built up its gigantic war
fortune thanks to the British who did their American
chasing through Morgan Company
You know what w. J. Bryan said about John W. Davis
before he nominated To refresh your memory here's
quotation from Bryans statement made last week:
By w. J. Bryan.

would permit Mr. Davis to serve the jury though
he had withdrawn from his legal connection with the Morgan
firm just before the trial began.
"Why should conventions subject the to a risk
no lawyer would permit his client to take9
"Mr Davis is very fine man, but in the employ of
j. Pierpont Morgan"
There's the opinion of William Jennings Bryan three times
candidate of the Democratic party The convention has
Jected the masses to the risk Mr. Bryan warned.
Time will tell whether the Democrats of today feel about
the Democratic candidate Mr.. Davis William Jennings
Bryan feels-Or DID feel week ago.
This is There isn't banker in New York outside
OF the P Morgan office that would allow Mr. Davis to sit
on the jury in suit against J. Pierpont Morgan.
Mr. Morgan whose firm represents British interests in the
United States cannot easily take the American view and he
DOESN'T take it.

which is 10000 miles per second
faster than the speed of light,
although in the Einstein theory
the speed of light is sometimes
treated as the limit of possible
velocity. But Captain See makes
small account of the Einstein
at all, and insists upon the reality
of the ether.
But, Notwithstanding the i'm
mensely high velocity of the ether
waves in open space, See finds
that they travel around the earth's
surface with speed of only
10000 miles per second, or 81 900
miles less than the speed of light.
He bases this conclusion upon the
results of experiments in trans.
hitting radio signals between
WASHINGTON "~A "nris and between
New York and Warsaw.
In the Wasnngton-Paris expert
ment the mean speed of the
waves was 10000 miles per sec
ond, while in the New York.War-
saw case it was only 1853, 900
miles per second. The mean of
lIl6 lNO - 1Oc,VOu WHICH
is taken Professionally as the APP
proximate real speed of the cleo
trio waves in passing round the
globe.
The delay-a reduction from
294,O00 to 10000 miles per sec
ond is ascribed, as before said.
to the retarding effect of the
earth on the base of the waves.
For, AYERS Captain See, although
the etherons are able to pass
through solid bodies. and through
the entire globe of the earth,
yet they do not pass undelayed,
The resistance of the earth is
sufficient to produce a drag as
they sweep across and through
the earth. which slows down the
portion of the waves, moving
horizontally with reference to the
surface. to the relatively moderate
speed stated.
This drag results from the ex-
ceedingly high elasticity of the
ether, which does not suffer 1t
to undergo a break of continuity,
so that the wave fronts bend
when resisted at their base, the
base" being the point of inter-
section with the earth's surface.
There is probably some delay in
the atmosphere also.

wv HE question often asked AZ
to whether radio waves fol-
Il low the surface of the earth,
and if so why, is answered by
Captain T. ]. j. See, the astron-
omer at the Mare Island navy
yard. IL his conclusions are cor
rect. He believes that the waves
bend round the globe not because
thew cannot pass out into space,
nor even because they do not pen
citrate the earth itself, but because
they are slowed up by the resist
ance which they encounter in pass
ing through the earth's frame, and
this resistance serves as a drag
upon the base of the waves as
thew sweep over the earth.
In consequence of this drag the
wave fronts bend round to &C.
cord with the curvature or the
earth's surface. He likens the ef-
feet to what happens to an ocean
wave when it approaches shelV"
ing shore. AS the water shadows
the lower part of the wave is held
hook relatively to the top in con-
sequence of the resistance or the
hottom and as the upper part OF
the waves gains upon the lower,
II curves over and forms a rolling
breaker.
There is nothing improbable in
the idea that an electric wave
should be retarded when it passes
from a rarer into a denser me-
dunn, for we know that this is
what happens when a ray OF light
is bent on passing into glass or
water.
The refraction of light by
prism arises from the delaying OF
the waves by the resistance of the
glass. and since the amount OF
showing varies with the wave
length, we get the familiar dis
persion of colors in the spectrum,
the red waves being the least d.
verified from the original course,
and the violet waves the most.
Captain Sees explanation Is
based on his own theory of the
composition of the ether He sup
poses it to consist of a. most in
finitely minute particles, called
etherons, which are 1000 times
smaller than the molecules Of
hydrogen, and he calculates that
the speed of waves passing
through such a medium is not less
than $4,000 miles per second,
