...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...
...77th Anniversary of the first public demonstration of the use of ether anæsthesia in surgery was celebrated at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. It was there, on Oct. 16, 1846, that Dr. William T. G. Morton (1819-1868), then a young dentist studying medicine, anæsthetized a patient with ethyl ether, while Dr. Warren, senior surgeon, removed a tumor. Others (Long, 1842, Robinson, Liston, Jackson) have disputed with Morton priority in the use of ether, but the consensus of medical opinion has awarded him the honor...
...there such a thing as ether, as the old-school physicists assert and Einstein denies? If so, does the ether fill the universe, absolutely at rest and permeating freely through all material bodies, or does the earth, as it revolves upon its axis, drag the ether with...
...experiment proves successful on this scale, larger apparatus will be set up in a field at least a quarter of a mile square, to make possible more accurate results. The experiments have to do with rays of light thrown through the large tube. Light is believed to consist of ether waves. When a body moves through a medium which is itself in motion (e. g., a swimmer in a flowing river), the speed of the moving body depends on whether it goes with, or against, or across the current. If the medium is still, it moves past the moving body...
...wheat grain, egg yolk, beef liver and some other foods, but not in milk, the otherwise perfect food. The absence of Vitamin X affects the reproductive powers of the male, as well as the female rat. This vitamin can be extracted from the wheat embryo with ethyl alcohol and ether and a daily dose of 100 milligrams of the resulting oil cures sterility in the rats...
