"Indeed," he went on, "I am not sure if there is not a fifth dimen- slon, which would serve to explain a great deal of the phenomena, and there are already a few facts that could be co-ordinated with such an hypothesis.
"For instance, you could inter- pret along these nos the fact that the number of elements is limited to ninety-four, and the extraction of electrons from cold conductors by strong electric fields.
"As It Is, the hypothesis is some times used as the basis of theoretical physics, and I should not be surprised if it did not eventually prove a link between the at present disparate Quantum and Relativity Theorics."
He admitted that it sounded fantastic enough, and that the evidence on which the idea was ad duced was too long and tortuons for a lay mind in a brief inter- view, But, he sald, many yeara ago, when he was first working on electrons, he never thought that the work would ever be of interest to anyone; and to-day, as we know, all electrical engineers must have knowledge of that work, and there, are few homes where its applica- tion has not become familiar in the form of a wireless sal.
