Juna 21 (By Associated Press).—The Einstein theory of rela- tivity is to be subjected to a new practical test by Prof. , Albert A. Michelson of the University of Chica- g0, whose discoveries led to its formu- lation The forthcoming experiment is expected either to lend substantial support to the theory or to disprove it Prof. Michelson who is now lectur- ing at the University of Paris, is ex- pected back about July 1st and the test is planned within the next year. Tt will be conducted under the aus- pices of the University of Chicago, either in this city or in some moun- tainous country. The experiment has been unden taken at the request of Dr. Ludwick Silberstein of the Eastman Research laboratories at Rochester, N. Y., who has worked out its terms. It is said that Professor Albert Einstein on his recent visit to the United Statés ex- pressed his belief in the eficacy of the experiment. Just what it is planned to do to de- termine whether Einstein's theory holds or riot was explained here to- day by Prof. Robert A. Millikan, col- league of Prof. Michelson in the de- partment of physics of the University of Chicago. Divesting the subject of technical details. Prof. Millikan said: “This is, as a matter ot fact, an experiment suggested by Prof. Michel- son 20 years ago as one way of test- ing whether or not it is possible to detect a motion of the earth with re- spect to the medium which carries light. “All efforts thus far made to de- tect by means of light effects the mo- tion of any material body with respect to the ether have failed. But all pre- ceding attempts have been made with the idea of trying to measure the linear. motion through space of a point on the earth with respect to the ether surrounding that point, and the results thus far obtained have been wholly negative. “In other words the observed ef- fects have been precisely those to be expected if there is no relative motion of the earth with respect to the ether at all. To illustrate, if an observer were himself immersed in a great sphere of rotating water and were to send sound signals simultaneously forward in the direction in which he is moving and also backward, and if these sound signals were reflected by mirrors placed at equal distances ahead and behind him, the echoes would obviously come back at exactly the same instant, provided there were no relative motion between himself and the water. In other words, he could not detect by such an experi- ment the movement of himself or the water unless he were moving more rapidly or more slowly than the wa- ter, in which case he would be able to detect and to measure his relative motion with respect to the water by the difference in the time of return of tha echo from the forward mirror and the back mirror. “Now the results of all experiments of this sort up to date in which we have sent light signals forward and back have been to show no difference in the time of return of the light echo to the observer. From this the con- clusion has been drawn that the ether, if it exists at all, moves with the earth so as to’ make it impossible to detect any relativa motion. “The special theory of relativity as generally stated consists in the asser- tion that it is impossible to detect the motion of any body with respect to the ether. The statement would be more conservative if put in the form that all ewperiments up to the pres- ent have failed to detect such relative motion. “Now Prof. Michelson pointed out some 20 vears ago that if the ether is dragged along with the earth at its surtace, it would have to be dragged in a different amount near the equa- tor than near the pole, because of the fact that the motion of rotation of the earth is greater at the equator that at the polise. Hence one way of testing whether or not we can detect motion pf points on the earth's sur- face with respect to the ether wquld be to send a light signal in different directions around the earth’s pole and see whether the two signals come back to the starting point at the same instant. If there were any relative motion of the edrth with respect to the ether they would not do so. But if the ether in the neighborhood of all portions of the earth had the same motion as the earth just beneath it, then the two signals would come back at exactly the same time, for the ex- periment would be quite analogous to that of an observer in the big tank of rotating water mentioned above. “The experiment was not tried in this form because it was thought that the form that Prof. Michelson did em- ploy was practically equivalent to it and showed that the result would have been negative if it had been 1e ‘r"Ncw Dr. Silberstein has asked Prof. Michelson to take up again the projected experiment because he has computed that if the general theory of relativity is correct, there should be a difference in the time of return to the source of signals sent in oOp- posite directions around the pole in the manner indicated. “A little computation shows that rt should be just as satisfactory to send a beam around a circuit of known area in the latitude of Chica- go as in the latitude of the pole. “The difference between this ex- periment and its predecessor lies in the fact that this utilizes the chawmging speed which the earth’s rotation im- poses upon points of different dis- tances from the earth's pole, while the former was quite independent of this fact “Prof. Michelson has therefore agreed in view of the immense inter- est which there is now in relativity to take up again this experiment, which has acquired added interest because of the fact that Dr.Silberstein's anal- d, as preced B " there should bo found to bt. no oh- servable difference in the time re- quired for the light to go in opposite directions around the circuit, or if the observed difference does not check numerically with the computed, then the Einstein theory will have been disproved.” T0 PURCHASE BUICK Squabble Over Automobile for Chief of Fire Dept. Is at End Following Meeting of Special Committee. It won't be the second handed Paige for the chief of the fire department after all. Following a meeting of the special committee consisting of Alder- men Richards and Paonessa and Councilmen Wall and Towers, named recently to investigate into the advis- ability of using a Paige car formerly in the health department service, or else recommend a new car for the chief, action was taken. The commit- tee met last night and follow- ing an examination of the Paige, it was deemed inadvisable to recom- mend this particular vehicle. The committee agreed that the chief should have a new car at once, and were favorable to the selection of a 7-passenger Buick. KENSINGTON MAN WILL MARRY LOCAL GIRL. Harry Vile of Kensington and Miss Lillian Schnaidt of 244 Whiting street will be married tomorrow aft- ernoon at 4 o'clock at the home of the bride. The ceremony will be performed by Rev. F. H.

A reception wili follow the wédding aft- er which the couple will leave on an extended honeymoon. They will re- side at 341 Stanley street upon their return. ATTENDING SYNOD.
