The enhanced lines so prominent in the spectrum of Sirius are faint, X 4481 of magnesium being especially noteworthy in this respect. This agrees with the results found for other white dwarf stars. The arc lines are also faint, and the hydrogen lines form the principal feature of the spectrum. The distribution of the light in the continuous spectrum is noticeably different...
Page 305 - But since the displacement is proportional to the square of the velocity, the relative velocity of the earth and the ether is probably less than one-sixth the earth's orbital velocity, and certainly less than one-fourth.
Page 336 - ... repeatedly encountered its presence in water solutions. There is enough left in the water after precipitation of calcium soaps, for instance, to be extracted with ether and effect cures. The distribution ratio between water and ether is very large, for a few extractions with an equal volume of ether effect quantitative removal. This has been established by a large number of feedings of the non-saponifiable fraction, the residual soap always failing to produce fertility. The solubility of E in...

An extended series of experiments was made to determine the influence of inequality of temperature and of radiant heat, and various insulating covers were provided for the base of the interferometer and for the light path. These experiments proved that under the conditions of actual observation the periodic displacement could not possibly be produced by temperature effects. An ex» Miller, "Ether-drift Experiments at...

This results in the bulging of the film downwards in spots so that it finally detaches itself in the form of particles, the outer surfaces of which consist of COOH groups together with the adsorbed OH, while the interior consists of the long hydrocarbon chains.
