Faster Than Light. Prof. See refefs to the ether as “the ‘world gas.” He says its particles travel 67 per cent faster than light, or 294,000 miles per second. It is, he says, 689,321,600,000 times more elas- tic than air in proportion to its den- sity. The rapid fiight of the etheron, the most minute particle in existence, accounts, according to See, for the velocity of light and the bending of radlo waves about the earth. Something of the strength and pull- Ing power of the ether, which is sup- posed to envelope and permeate every- thing in the universe, is given by the Navy astronomer in the following statement: “Exact calculation shows thadif we had five trillion cables of steel,Wach a foot in diameter, and the stecl cap. able of lifting 30 tons to the square inch of the cross section, this whole glant forest of steel cables would be stretched to the breaking point to hold the moon in its orbit about the earth. To hold the earth in its orbit ahout the sun would require an 11-inch cable of such steel on each square foot of hemispherical cross-section of our globe, which practically would cover the earth’s surface with such a forest of steel cables, each stretched to the limit of its tensile strength.” Prof. See's paper is substantially the same report he is to make in even more technical language to the Astro- nomiache Nachrichten, a Ggrman sclentific journal, at a later date. 30,000 Fewer Farms in U. §.
