AN ATOM OP A SINGLE ion, tho atom of electricity, has been isolated and studied, the ultimate eleetrieal charge has been accurately measured and the actual structure of the charge observed for the first time by Robert A. Milikan, associate professor of physics at the University of Chicago. Besides capturing an individual ion, the long misunder stood carrier of electricity, he has viewed in his laboratory peppery specks of electricity on charged bodies, disproving the theory that electricity is an "imponderable fluid," and upholding the indefinite "ionic hypothesis" of Parraday, who gave his theory to the world in 1S30. Also he has proved the "kinetic theory," that molecules of air are in rapid motion, and has measured the "energy of gaitation" of these molecules. The actual catching of the single ions was accomplished by the introduction of a "droplet" of oil between the plates of a horizontal air condenser. The presence of the ions became apparent owing to the action of the oil particles. In explanation of the fundamentals of electricity, Pro fessor Millikan found it necessary to state that an ion was an atom, or piece of an atom, a molecule, or a group of mole cules, which carried the electrical charge. Then he gave the following statement of some of his results: "We have succeded in isolating an individual ion and holding it under observation for an indefinite length of time an hour or more if desired. "We have' been able to give every tangible demonstra tion of the correctness of the view advanced many veal's ago that an electrical charge is not a homogeneous some thing 'a strain in the ether,' or an 'imponderable fluid' spread uniformly over the surface of the charged body, but that it has a definite, granular structure; consists, in fact, of a definite number of specks or atoms of electricity, exactly alike, peppered over the surface of the charged body. It follows, of course, that an electric current which is simply a charge in motion consists of a movement of these atoms of electricit through or over the conducting bodjr. "This is not asserting anything about the ultimate na ture of electricity, but is merely pushing the unknown down into these ultimate electrical units or atoms. As a matter of fact, we are pretty certain that all material atoms contain as constituents these ultimate electrical atoms, and it is the vogue now to surmise that these electrical atoms are the ultimate units out of which all matter is built up." A WORTHLESS ADVANCE sheets of Fuller's Greater Northwest Year Book, now in press, a Seattle publication, show that its compilers pay more attention to Seattle and Washing ton than to Oregon. The review covers the building, en gineering, municipal, industrial and railroad work ini tiated in the territory during the past year. The work reported under buildings covers all classes from public buildings to residences; engineering includes telephones, power and light, public roads, government work, bridges and irrigation; municipal embraces all lines of city work, except city buildings; the industrial item covers general lines of manufacturing. Ashland's buildings for the past year are given as $93, 000, Medford s as $105,000, both way under the actual amount expended. There are 36 buildings reported con structed in Ashland, 35 in Medford, both absurd state ments. Under the engineering class there were seven en terprises constructed in Ashland at a cost of $245,000 and twenty-three m Medford, costing $150,000, and one m Gold Hill costing $150,000. Medford spent more on this line than all of the other cities of the county together. In municipal improvements, Medford spent $350,000, Ashland $95,000. Medford spent twice this amount. In industrial enterprises Ashland spent $10,000, Central Point $15,000, Medford $35,000, all under the actual ex penditures. In railroads Ashland spent $15,000, Medford $40,000. As this must include the construction of the Pacific & Eastern, at a cost of $40,000 a mile, this estimate is absurd. The Year Book, if the Jackson county report is a fair example, is totally unreliable and worthless for practical purposes. MAKE MEDFORD A JOBBING CENTER. ACTTON of the interstate commerce commission in re ducing western tariffs and sustaining the conten tions of Spokane will result in the establishment of branch manufacturing and jobbing houses in interior cities, of local factories and enable them to convert raw materials Already the effect is apparent in Spokane. Chicago, St. Paul and Milwaukee manufacturers have announced their intention of opening branch houses there, while three companies ol Philadelphia, New York and Boston and two on the coast will establish distributing houses. The rate decision will also stimulate the establishment of local factories and enable them to convert raw ratemials into finished products, which has hitherto been impossible. In brief, instead of building up coast terminals at tho expense of the interior country,' the latter will have more of a chance, under the revised schedules. Medford, as well as Spokane; should profit by the pro posed rates, and the Commercial club's main effort during the next year should be to secure jobbing branches and manufacturing plants. The establishment of terminal rates for Medford will be followed by branch jobbing houses, which will distribute to southorn Oregon and northern California from Medford, instead of from Portland and ELECTRICITY.
