THE DIVISIBILITY OF ATOMS.
Evidence of the divisibility of atoms is said to have been found by Professor J. J. Thomson, of the Royal Society of Great Britain. Experiments with cathode rays indicate that the stream of electrified' particles projected from the negative plate cony'ists of eorpuselevs torn from the atoms composing- the electrode, and not of the whole atoms themselves. These corpuscles are very small portions of the atoms from which they come.
