the Aether litix brought out a very
surprislnB result, nuinely, definite
proof that the rudio wavo truvels
u round the globe with a velocity
ut letwt ten per cent umuller than
Hint of light, 1 tts.oov nnL's per
second, In plaeo of 186.000 miles.
Since- tho wuvo js propagated in
I he Aether, It is remarkable that
there should be the long re'eog
nfxed velocity, for light In free
Hpuee, und a smaller velocity for
the radio wave as it bends around
the globe. Tho result is therefore
of deep interest tu the phsical
philosophers associated with tlu
Itoyal Societies of London, and to
u largu liody of operators in radio
and electric engineering. In Hiit
aiu, on the Continent and In the
Colonies.
1 In the year 1 ii 1 4 there was
an official interchange of signals
between the Naval Observatory at
Washington, and the National Ob
servatory at Paris. The work was
carried on with all the skill and
precautious attainable at thai
time, and the mean velocity of the
wireless wave found to be nboiii
17:1,000 miles per second. This
figure is about 13.000 intlen per
second less thun that of light In
free space, but ten years ugo wo .
did not suspect the cause of the
velocity fulling s"ven per cent be
low I he velocity of light. " j
2 Karly in March of tho pres- '
ent year, a wireless signal was
sent from the sending station near
New York to Warsaw, I'oltnd, anil ;
reflected back in 0.0. 14 of a second j
of time. The double distance is
8.500 miles, and the speed of the
transmission comes out about irH.
ooo miles per second, or about 15 J
per cent less thun the velocity of!
light. This observation was care- i
fully times by a coincidence pro
cess, with upparattis similar t4
that used in moving pictures, for
producing exact coincidences, and ;
thus no doubt is essentially accur
at e.
3 The mean of (he two inde
pendent determinations of the
wireless wave is lt5,fi00 miles per
second, or 20,f00 miles per second
less than the velocity of light.
This is eleven per cent slower than
light travels In freo space. So
great a falling off in speed could
hardly tie the result of chance.
And thus we are led to recognize
the fact that the radio wavo cer
tainly I ravels over 10 per cent
slower than light. In distances
such as those separating Kurope
from Americu.
4 What Is the cause of this
slower velocity of the wireless
wave? It is simply this: The
Aei heron, or particle of Aether Is
only one-four thousandth part as
large la diameter as the hydrogen
molecule so I hat compared to
ordinary molecules of the size of
oranges, I he Aetherons would be
moving with a velocity of Jit4,000
miles per second. The wave travels
through the solid earth as well as
through the air und free space
but is much resisted in the solid
globe. As the aether Is B8:,3J1,-000-000
times moro ebistle than
air In proportion to Us density
thus almost Infinitely elastic the
medium cannot suffer a break In
Its continuity, yet I he movement
above tho. earth is held back by
the slower movement of tho wave
In the earth. The resistance in
the globe thus acts as a drug on
the wave at Its buse., the result is
that I he wuvo bends around Ui
earth, as long known yet hereto
fore not generally understood.
"5. This hcndlivr of the wave
front in the aether, due to retarda
tion al the base of H in the earth.
Is iilto analogous lo change of
form of water waves as they run
ashore to form breakers. The ad
vance of the water Is resisted ui
the base, while that of tho eres.
Is unimpeded; the lop "f wuv"
1 1ms gulns upon the base and Uh
form changes, according lo Math

New Theory of the Aether. ll20.
1 first explained the bending or
the wireless wave about the earth,
hv the above process, involving In
creased resistance within the
lobe. It is exactly analogous to
tlie bending of the wave front
In a beam of light going through
n prism. Kour years I even fore
told that wireless could be used
to increase the safely of com
munication In mines: and now
wireless Is being installed In all
deep shafts, by our National
llureau of Mines.
7 Uecently a concert going on
at Chicago was distinctly heard
near Cleveland. Ohio, by observers
at a depth of over 500 reel in
solid earth, and connected with
the surface only by a very narrow
parage. And In Idaho and Mon
tana radio waves have been re
ceived in mines at a depth of about
half a mile. This is direct ex
perimental proof that the wive
travels through the solid glebe II
self and therefore must move
slowlv in this dense mass, the
WUve front being made to bend
around the earth, when it advances
to great distances, as from New
York to Warsaw, Chicago to Mel
bourne, Cllisburgh to Calcutta,

observers reached the conclusion
that the luleiwlty U somewhat
augmented right ut the Antipodes
ui mc ueuuing mauon Knowing
that the wave encircles the globe
In all directions from Bordeaux,
and thus is notieeubly Intensified
at the focus In the Antipodes,
"U. Tills experiment is notable
lor two reasons:
(a) The use If high power In
transmission and a wave uf great
length which assures the propaga
tion of the wave through tho
earth, yet with a s'ower move
ment In the solid glob f, and the
resuIUng bending of tho wavo
clear uround the Antipodes.
b) The distance is greuter
than in any other record based on
careful observations, and the only
one with evidence of the focussing
of the waves afler encircling tin
earth in all directions from the
sending station.
"An adequate theory of the
bending of tho radio-wave about
the earth long was lacking. 1'rlor
to that given by me four years ago
the only one put forth was a ten
tat I vo ouu based on reflection
irom Irontxcd guses in the upper
layers of the terrestrial atmos
phere. Hut now lhal radio waves
are everywhere beginning to be ,
observed and used In deep mines
showing that transmission takes
place through the solid earth and
therefore travels more slowly tn
the globe - the theory of reflec
tion is as unnecessary as it is In
adequate. 'The process of nature evident
ly Is similar to I he transmission
of light through u prism, the
wave front being bent by the
greater resistance at the base.
And the observational proof of
this view in the high power and
long waves required for overcom
ing1 resistance In this long distance
transmission. if the reflection
theory were admissible, short
waves ought to suffice, yet such
waves are ruled over by actual
experience, which thus verifies the
refract ion t heory reached In t ho
first paper on the New Theory of
the Aether, 1920.
"The failure of many eminent
mat hemat Iciuns to explain I he
bending of the wireless wave
about the globe, Indicates that. I he
old hypothesis about ionization in
the atmosphere and reflection aro
unworthy of contemporary science.
"The view now strikingly con
firmed by observations of velocity
in wireless telegraphy, showing
lofinllcly that 11 penetrates deep
into the globe and I h is retards the
wavo front in I he earth, with re
sulting bending of Iho wave about
the globe, gives a valid foundation
for some of the most striking
phenomena In physical science.
Tho results are of Interest also In
connection with the wave theory
of magnetism and the cause of
Cnlversal Gravitation, becuus-j
they bear on the cause of tho
Fluctuation of the Moon's Mean
Motion."
