Every atom In tha universe repels .very, other atom and Newton and th. theory of gravitation ar. all wrong, if th. conclusion as reached - by Engineer. P. E. McDonnell from experiments msds at the time of the recent eclipse of ths sun are sound. I ir any event the facta obtained by Mr. McDonnell, are of deep Interest to scientists and have been communicated to th. United States naval observatory at Washington. Mr. McDonnell Is chief engineer at tha Fullerton avenu. pump ing station and baa given all hla spare time to th. study of phenomena. ' ' Be lieving Implicitly in ' . th. - theory announced-, h. arranged a novel experi ment with art anvil, which he thinks completely proves his assertion. . - Taking a spring seal, which registered up -to M pounds, Mr. McDonnell placed on the balance an Iron anvil weighing W pounds. At 10:30 the night before the eclipse, the' balance between the mass of Iron and the scale beam was perfect. At I o'clock on .the morning of the. eclipse, the balance was - still perfect. - At . o'clock, however,, when . the sun was partly behind the moon's rim, th. weight of. the anvil grew lighter by fully two ounces and the scale registered this de crease, according to Mr. McDonnell. ' As the Indicating, finger of tha seal, waa so arranged -that it would Blip back after the anvil returned to itr normal weight, the scale stsnds today as evidence of th. surprising shift In the mass of fnetal at the time of the eellpss, . The sun being a very large body. repels atoms r with great force," ssld Mr. McDonnell. 'This fore, of repul sion Is greater than th. earth exhibits and ' keeps - everything tlfat is on the earth In its place; But when the moon got between the earth and th. sun. the fore of th. sun's repellent action .waa to a certain extent cut off and th. anvil grew lighter. Th. fact that.lt grew two ounces lighter at. the time of the eclipse .conclusively proves my theory. Remilslon Is wnst aeepa us on the each.
