What Is electricity The engineer and
the physicist are completely at variance

20 physicist--at least some physicists,
for 1t Is difficult to find any two physicists
that completely agree with each other
regard electricity as a peculiar form OF
matter permeating all space AS we'll as al
substances, together with the luminifer.
ether. which 1t permeates like a jelly
or a sponge.
Conductors. according to this theory,
are holes or pipes In this Jelly, and cleo.
trical generators are pumps that transfer
this Hypothetical matter from one place
to another. Other physicists, following
Ediund, regard the ether and electricity
as identical. and some, the disciples Of
~helmholtz, consider 1t al integral con
stituent OF nature, each molecule Of mat
ter having Its W definite charge, which
determines its attraction and its repul.
sion All attempts to revive the Frank.
linian, or material theory Of electricity
have, however, TO be so loaded with as
sumptions and so weighed with contra
dictions that they completely fail to re.
move electricity from the region Of the
mysterious. 1t is already extremely diff
cult to conceive the existence Of the
ether Itself as an infinitely thin. highly
elastic medium filing all space. employed
only rs the vehicle Of those undulatory
motions that give us light and radiant
heat. The material theory Of electricity
requires US to add to this another incom.
~prehensible medium embedded or entan.
gled in this ether, which Is not only q
medium for motion. but which Is itself
moved.
The practical man, with his eye and his
MIND trained by the stern realities of daily
experience, on q scale vast compared with
that Of the little world of the laboratory,
revolts from such wild hypothesis, such
unnecessary and inconceivable concep-
tons, such q ~travesty of the beautiful
simplicity Of nature. He has q clear con-
ception Of electricity as something which
has q distant objective existence. which
he can manufacture and sell, and some
thing which the unphilosophic and ordi.
nary member Of society can buy and use.
