Most Eminent Physicists Unable b _ Explain it autumn-fly. At a time when electricity is rapidly transforming the face at the globe, when it has siresiiy in great measure annihilated distance and bids fair to sboiish darkness for us, it is curious to notice how completely ignorant "the plain man" remains as to the latter de- velopments of electrical theory. Some recent correspondence has led me to think tint a vague notion that electric- ity is a fluid which in some mysterious way iiows through c. telegraph wire 3 like water through a. pipe is about as tar as he has got. and it we add to this some knowledge or what he calls “electric shocks" we should probably exhaust his ideas on the subject. Yet this is not to be wondered at. Even the .most instructed physicists cm do nothing out guess on to what else. triclty is, and the only point on which they‘agree is as to what it is not. There is. in fact. a perfect consensus I of opinion among scientific writers that it is not a fluid, i. 9.. it continue ons stream of pondsrahle matter. as is a liquid or a gas; and that it is not a form of energy. as is heat. Outside this limit the scientific imagination is at liberty to roam where it listeth, and Although it has used this liberty to I considerable extent, no definite result has followed up to the present time.-- The Academy.
