CHAPTER XIV THE PARTICLE OF THE ELECTRIC CURRENT TYNDALL'S treatise on the relations of heat to motion marked an epoch in physical science: we are now entering upon greatly enlarged views of motion. In the consideration of the theory of the electric nature of energy--the electromagnetic theory--we conceive of a universal ether by means of which the electrodynamic waves travel through space. This medium is supposed by some to be continuous, by others to have a grained structure. It is certainly easier to conceive of a grained structure than of continuous matter: water seems to be a type of continuity, but we know that it is made up of molecules or atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. Water is incompressible, the ether of space is also supposed to be incompressible. Waves of water travel just as the waves of energy traverse space: a cork on water moves up and down at right angles to the direction of propagation of a wave, the undulations of the electrodynamic waves in the ether are also at right angles to the direction of the waves. Some think in regarding the movement of waves in water that the ether may be composed of infinitely small particles which constitute an ocean. The fluid theories of electricity which prevailed in Franklin's time had the same idea of continuity that the present theory of ether has. We have freed ourselves from a belief in fluid theories and seem to advance to a theory of grained structure of the ether. We shall see in considering the new subject of photo-electricity the effeet of ultra-violet light upon electrical charges that grave doubts are rising in regard to the continuous nature of the ether. The electromagnetic waves are revealed in the release of chemical bonds and in the phenomena of photo-electricity. When an...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Advance in Electricity Since the Time of Franklin In a limited space I have sketched the state of Hank lin's mind in regard to the singular phenomenon of the existence of attracting or repelling charges of electricity; and I have endeavored to show that the latest theory in electricity the electron theory closely resembles his theory of excess and deficit. While his philosophical views of the phenomena of electrical sparks are largely accepted, his experiments cannot be said to have led the way to practical employments of electricity. Their lack of in uence on a great future development was due to a want of perception of the relations of magnetism to electricity. Ifi'anklin's advance in his favorite subject was completely barred by an ignorance of these rela tions. I have quoted his words to show how feeble he considered the manifestations of magnetism in compari son with those of electricity. A giant was lying concealed in his workshop. All our great advance in electricity since the time of Ifi'anklin has been due to the increase of our knowledge of magnetism. After we have con sidered the wonderful phenomena of radium we may be led to ask: are not the manifestations of magnetism still more wonderful?
