MAJOR MILES' LECTURE ON
A POPULAR HOBBY.
Continuing his lecture on Mot- ern Wireless at the Helena May Institute on Monday night, Major Mlles, R.E., said; ·
I have no time to go into a pro- per explanation of the electronic structure of matter, and can only
atate a few facts briefly.
Matter is composed of little bricks termed "Molecules." Mole- cules are composed of smaller ele- mentary bricks called "Atoms."
The Atoms again are composed of little electrical bricks called "Electrons" and "Protona"-mall negative and positive electrical charges.
It is a wonderful thought that the whole universe is made up of those minute electrical charges alone, I
To those Interested in the sub- ject I can strongly recommend Sir Oliver Lodge's book "Aether and Reality."
