A Brief Account of Some Classical Experiments at Rothamsted In the early days of the nineteenth century Priestly and de Sanssure had shown that by the influence of sun-light green plants decompose the carbonic acid of the atmosphere spitting free the oxygen and retaining the carbon which malls up the bulk of the dry matter of plants. [...] Indeed up to the present time these. experiments form the.fundamental basis of our knowledy.0 of the composition of the animal's body and of the chaes taking place ditrin! the ∎rrowth and fatteniu periods. [...] which are the seleolimi Pule which forbids some of the ohiTtrien-jumps for the simple reason that they correspond to none of the observed spetral lines and Paul rerbol which for similar reasons forbh/s any two of the electrons gravitating around the nucleus in an atom to be in exactly the same conditions. [...] Lorentz the great champion of the electronic theory had already proposed a theory which cosidered the oscillations of the electrons inside the atoms as the origin of the electro-magnetic waves to which Maxwell had reduced The nature of raditing energy. [...] Even ordinary mathmatical reasoning shows that according to the general quantum principles it is impossible to detemine exactly both the po'sition and the velocity of a particle at a given moment : the greater the precision reached in determining the one the greater the -uncertainty in determining; the other : the prduct of the two uncertainties being alwitys equal to b/2n thus Plan
