...facilitate the expression of ideas and assist in literary composition." His son John Lewis Roget enlarged and improved the Thesaurus in new editions until his death in 1908. John Lewis' son, Samuel Romilly Roget, physicist who did important work on the "aging"' and electro magnetic qualities of iron, continued the family revisions until 1911. Since then this reference book has been any one's to republish. U. S. publishers are Thomas Y Crowell Co., Theo. E. Schulte, E. P. Dutton & Co., Longmans, Green & Co. The 14th (new) edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica mentions no Rogets, the 11th...

Pulsations. Cosmic dust, electrically charged atoms, moves through the electro-magnetic fields of the universe, said Benjamin Boss, director of the Dudley Observatory, Albany, discussing his theory of cosmic evolution. This dust condenses, forms giant stars. After a brilliant period, the stars lose mass through radiation, eventually return to atomic clouds which condense into more stars. As the sun travels through cosmic dust, its radiation varies. Earth's bombardment of electrons comes from the sun, travels along the lines of the earth's magnetic field. Striking in the magnetic polar regions, these electrons maintain the negative electric charge...

...woman have long shared, and which the woman gradually pushes into the fuddled head of her lover, the big longshoreman. There are times in the earlier sequences, when rebellion can be seen working in these cells living in the exuberant slime of the marketplace, working changes in them like electro-magnetism altering the composition of molecules. Then the picture seems great, with the pressure and pulse of a tremendous story. But the promise of the early development is never realized. The fate of the characters is indecisive; the rebellion that has stirred them dies out in action of steadily diminishing...

...great step came when Newton (1642-1727) gave Space a definite physical reality in his theories of force accelerating bodies, the movement being measurable in reference to a really rigid body. The introduction of "ether" by Faraday (1791-1867) and Maxwell (1831-79) to explain their electro-magnetic field theories was the last great step before Einstein's relativity theories...

...case he selected an imaginary charged sphere to apply his formulae to, in the second a number of isolated charged points in space. Both conditions are actually represented in the universe. From the first the relationship between gravity and electricity on Earth may be determined, from the second the electro-gravitational relation of Earth to the universe...
