some Electricity for "KuaaIna."


Kuaaina, thou art a philosopher. Read thou the
following lesson:
Electricity is a primitive motive power. The idea
of an electric fluid is erroneous. 1t is a force acting
on matter, and magnetism gives it direction. Its
motion is spiral, caused by the tendency ct the
electric force to proceed in a straight line, and the
magnetic force to give it a direction at right angles.
This action isIeen in the bi-cuspated lightning in a
thunder storm The general current of the electro
magnetic force proceeds in spiral waves, acting on
matter chemically, producing powerful irresistible
molecular motion. Electricity will not pass through
an absolute vacuum, therefore fear not for the con
tents of thy Uranium, Kuaaina. 1t must have mat
ter upon which to pass--to act-to exert it's power.
In proportion as matter is magnetized, will be the
attraction of electricity for that body. Thou art a
non-eonductor, o Kuaaina.
Electricity and magnetism, by chemical action on
matter, produce heat and light, volcanoes are thereby
generated. The combination in stu, of certain ma
terials, creates an adaptation for the production of
this heat hence combustion. In all volcanic coun
tries the principal mineral elected is iron. Electricity
has an affinity for iron and various metals, because
Of their magnetic attractive power, which gives
direction to the electric force. The conductive power
must be equal to the electric force or an explosion
will follow. Philosophic KuaaiDa, canst thou reason 7
Electricity produces combustion by chemical action
in the interior of the earth, aud that combustion
generates an increase Of the electric force. Hence.
all volcanic fires generate a large amount of cleo
tricity. As long as this can be conducted TO the sur
face, and escape by a lava flow composed of conduct
ing materials, then there is no danger Of an earth
quake but when the electric force is confined by
everything non-conductive matter, an explosion caus-
ing an earthquake must necessarily follow. This
will be more or less violent in proportion to the cleo
trio force generated by the volcanic fires, and the
conductive or non-conductive nature of the mate
rails.
The history Of volcanic dynamics proves the sc-
when there is no more jar Of the earth than is
caused by the vibration Of the eruption. During
the great earthquake at Lisbon in 1855, electricity

Just as o blush should mantle thy cheek, o Kuaaina.
Now Kuaains, when thou hast digested the above,
t viii effect a cure of thine intellectual dyspepsia.
