...combinations. It explains the disintegrative processes which break up compounds by overcoming cohesion. The velocity of the Rex atom varies, and at various rates determines its identity as light, heat or electricity. Electromagnetic (radio) waves, color and light are identical in nature, though not in degree. There is no ether. Gravity is not a mass attraction, but a phenomenon resulting from the impact of the repellent force on the earth's surface. Page holds that celestial bodies are normally circular rather than elliptical, as Kepler and his successors have taught...
...Ether-it isn't as kind to men as to vegetables...
...weeks since successful experiments in acceleration of plant growth by artificial light were announced (TIME, Nov. 5). Now we have the next step: etherizing them to make them grow. Prof. David Lumsden, of the Federal Horticultural Board, found out that if a "shot of dope" is given to a plant either by inhalation or a hypodermic needle, exactly the,contrary of the effect of ether on human beings is produced. Instead of putting plants to sleep it can produce overnight perceptible fresh green shoots from rose bushes dug out of frozen ground in midwinter. Kept indoors on the ether diet...
...practice in Connecticut from the Eclectic Medical Examining Board of that state, was being sought for arrest for manslaughter.

...atom, in which case there is an emission of light in the spectra. Sir Oliver Lodge, in his installation address as President of the Roentgen Society, London, outlined his own version of atomic theory. The nucleus he believes to be rotating at the speed of light. Surrounding it is ether, stratified into gravitational or electric levels. Electrons moving in these planes counter-balance the attractive force by their velocity. He predicted the eventual finding of 118 elements instead of the present...
