NEW THEORY EVOLVED

SYDNEY, Sep. 28. A new theory of creation luis been evolved by Lord Clid'ord, E.G.S., E.U.S., at one time a resident of Tasmania, who is again visiting Australia. If the theory is established, it inav supplant that pronounced bv Einstein, according to Lord Clifford. ‘“lt seems to me,” he said, “that the Einstein theory is only a modification of another phenomena of which we arc daily acf|iiiriii<£ more «itul inure evidence.’’

•Although Lord Clifford is averse to laying down a hard and fast theory until investigations have been made more complete, yet its main outline is: “ I hat ail matter has been produced hy tho shortening of wave-length per inch of light and Other, owing to explosion of light or other currents meeting from opposite directions.

• “ I have been able,” he said, ''mathematically to establish an index ratio of ail matter and psychic forces in relation to the total wave length's of light in- ether, which may evolve many problems il organic and inorganic chemistry.

“I have also been working fei the last four years, in conjunction with Dr Benjamin Moore, on the evolution of organic out of inorganic matter, and it is mainly owing to suggestions of mine that Dr Moore achieved definite results twelve months before they wi re likewise achieved in different manner hr Professor Bally, of Liverpool.”

Lord Clifford's work was taken up by ti e presidents of the English Z( < .ogi.--.nl and Geological Societies. In 1920 the Evolution Society was found'd as tie result of some of Lord Clifford’s work by Dr Moore, late physicist at Oxford, who died last March, and Professor Bickcrton, well-know in Australia, and New Zealand. Of that Society Lord Clifford is now president, and is touring Australia mainly with L" object, he says, of founding branches of the Sroiety throughout Australia. Ho has Succeeded in starting branches in Perth, Adelaide, and Hobart. Lord Clifford contested the Federal seat of Franklin (Tasmania) in 1901!, against the present member, Mr McWilliams. Prior to that lie was on gaged in sheep farming in New Zealand, and took a prominent part in the public life of the Marlborough province. He dossed to Tasmania in 1890, and (n----gaged both in business and farming. He succeeded to valuable estates and to bis title upon the death of the late Lord Clifford, and returned to England
