You know what hap- pens when you fonize a gas? “You turn it into a conduc®r of electricity.” 1 suggesied “Crude, crude,” sald Dan, “and h for the sake of brevity your escription would serve. You make it, as a matter of fact, an electrolyte, bringing it into a dissociated condi- tion of oppositel charged positive nd negative ions.

That would make | you think aithon had some atomic | system as we understand it now, He broke off again to pace up and| down the cave for a moment or two in silence. “Let us imagine,” he went on— ‘imagine the sun to be the positively |charged nucleus of the hydrogen atom, and say—leaving out the re- | mainder of the solar planets for the {#ake of convenience—that the earth |is the single electron. Never mind the failure of the comparison as re- gards relative mass. Bring the mass of the sun down to the size of the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, and say that we could see its electron,| the earth. Do you get me?” “I get you, Dan,” said T “Well? Have you nothing me?" No," 1 said slowly. “Not a thing. Dan looked at me with great pi “1 embark on entirely unscientific| analogies to meet the deficlencies of your eduuuon and you reward me! said he. “What about you, Mil- liken?" “I'd ask you it at all,” at me ‘There is balm in Gilead hat's the notion, of ‘little fleas with lesser fleus'—how |do we know that the electron, so- | called, is not like the earth, a minute system in itself>—held, it Is true, by the nucleus? Tt has been proved be- | yond cavil in ‘the Jaboratory next door | that this new gas has mass—yet its latomic weight is demonstrably lighter | than hydrogen—seven times less. Are we not brought to the conclusion, {then. that bevond and within the present known system of the atom there is another, Infinitely more mi- nute in unit, and that that which we | now know as the electron is to those units merely what the atom is to ite electrons? Dan was still walking up and down [ the cave, but now he was shaking his loose change in his cupped hands, the old trick when excited. He turned to us with his eves agleam. “For the last year or two,” he went on. “much of my experimauting has been to discover why electrons varied lin behavior. The electrons of differ- |ent radio-active substances, though nominally of the same mass and character, often failed to behave sim- ilarly in like experiments. 1 wondered Why—why? I begin to think that with the discovery of this aithon we fringe on the cause. We may be on tle point of solving that phenomenon which, for lack of a better name, we Imve called these many yvears the ! ether—that mysterious. supposedly fintangible medium to which, through ts conduction of the sun’'s energy, we owe our very life! | w | to ask | | if the nioon came into Milliken said with a grin | | On the principle | 1 | “I'he ether!” criad Danny ere's {a ®hought to fire the imagination! | What if it should arrive that we find | the ether to be our standard for measuring matter? What if it should prove that the ether is composed of particles of matter infinitely smaller | than the electron as we now under- stand it? Proof of that would go far to upset our present ideas with regard to radiation, energy light—eh, {Jimmy ?—eh, Milliken? Upset them— Jor else {llumine them still furthe Tt would be unfair to Dan if I at- tempted to record his development gt {the theme as if in his own words. | Looking back on what T've already written from memory of what Dan said, it doesn't seem at all up to the standard of his talk.
