It is interesting to note that Sir j. j. Thomson,

the movement to establish a sub-structure for the

THE new movement grows out of attempts to

been pictured up to the present.
The chief difficulty to any simple explanation of
the structure of the eectron the fact that in

day the hotel caught fire. Play

played they hired for $50 a hotel
