"I suggest that the ether is composed of minute units which may be called etherions. Each etherion is in rotation about three axes, so that the surface is traveling with the velocity of light. Motion about one axis produces what is called electricity; about another, gives magnetic flux; and about the third, mechanical force. These units are 4.366X10-15 cm. in radius. I have supposed them spherical. The surfaces are moving at the velocity of 3X1010..." [page 23 of the book]
