The Law of Interstellar Measurements
Chicago Times-Herald
One of the most notable scientific discoveries in a century is claimed by an electrical engineer now in this city. H. Barringer Cox, who is known throughout the scientific world for his investigations in electrical phenomena.
This discovery is the long-sought-for law for the measurement of distance between the earth and the sun, moon, and other planets and stars in space. Mr. Cox calls it "the law of interstellar measurements." In importance it is claimed to rank with Newton's law of gravitation.
Mr. Cox proposes applying his knowledge of physics to the solution of the great problem of computing interstellar distances. It will be the first time, be says, that scientists have attempted to use electricity in their efforts at computing these measurements. Mr. Cox holds that his method will work out as accurately as the electrical instruments now compute distances on the earth's surface.
