...Newton universe as interpreted today, especially by Professor Dayton Clarence Miller of Case School of Applied Science, a tenuous substance called ether pervades all space and things. This ether can be considered static, like a quiet pool of water, except as it is agitated by light and other radiations popping and wriggling through...
...Mackaye says there is an ether. But it is not static like Professor Miller's ether. The MacKaye ether is composed of helter-skeltering radiations. Like light his radiations move in all directions, and with the same velocity (circa 186,000 mi. per sec.). They have a superfrequency and hence a superpenetration. As light goes through glass and X-rays through bodies, his radiations go through everything. They are never at rest. Modifications of them- photons, protons, electrons and possibly other quivering mites of sub-matter not yet recognized-are only slightly less ubiquitous...
...atom, tightest bundle of matter which man knows, would be a morning glory pod popping out its electron and proton seeds, if physicists had an electric current of sufficiently high voltage at their hands. General Electric jupiters and Westinghouse thors have produced 5,000,000 volts of static electricity for an instant's duration. Their passing flashes have been useful only to indicate the nature of natural lightning. General Electric's William David Coolidge two years ago succeeded in ramming 350,000 volts through three special vacuum tubes connected in tandem. He got the cumulative, cascading effect...
