MYSTEaIOu5 ELECTRICITY.
The Human Mind Way Never Solve the
Problem of What 1t Is.

Problem of what 1t Is.
To the metaphysical mind on the one
,land and to the confident ignoramus ON
ne cher the mysterious nature of cleo
-icir~ offers a fruitful subject of specu-
II. To the latter especially it seems
81 ach that the true nature of cleo
49, mas not long before been made
manifest, and he is always prepared to
lash off an explanation with much more
confidence than Newton proposed his
theory of gravitation. 1t seems inexpli-
cable to the public at large hat the mvs-
terry surrounding electricity is not dis
PEELED. 1t does not seem to occur to
those who are impatient to nave the
great question, What is electricity
answered that we are in just as dense
ignorance as to the mechanism of other
phenomena. Gravltation, light, heat
and chemical acton are in the same
category of scientific mysteries and have
had centuries NOR of thought bestowed
on them than has been devoted to the
new agent. VIII le it now seems that
we may be on he threshold of one OF
the greatest dis 1overies of the human
mind, Yet it is )ssible, and even proba.
BILE, that the knowledge of man may
never be permitted TO extend to the en-.
tire solution Of the problem, for it is the
very problem of the universe itself.
Assuming what seems to be unques.
toned, that electricity. electrical action
or whatever we may call it, has its seat
in the atoms or molecules of matter or
of the hypothetical matter, ether, we
are brought face to face with the same
conditions that confront the cosmical
philosopher. AS the latter can never
hope to have his material vision extend
to the bounds of the universe. neither
can the molecular physicist hope to ma
terially appreciate the ultimate elements
of matter. Lord Kelvin has shown that
If a drop of water were magnified to the
size of the earth n of its constituent
molecules would only be magnified &c
approximately the size of a cricket
ball. Bearing this in mind, the i'm.
mensity of the problem which is SO Otter
%fippantly referred to Is evident. True,
we may demonstrate the exact relation
between electricity and magnetism and
may satisfactorily connect these with
other phenomena and even obtain a
worflnS ny pOlItols lHdI Will answer al
scientific needs, but the ultimate solu-
ton may forever evade the human mind.
Whatever we do learn, however, will
not be through the speculations of meta
physicians or the guesses of tyros, but
through the physical Investigations Of
Hertzes and Teslas. While as a mental
training metaphysical speculation map
have its use, the absolute lack of addi-
tons to our real knowledge during the
many centuries from Plato to Bacon.
when metaphysics held full sway. Is con-
clnsive that nothing can be expected
from ibis direction, and merely specula-
tive tr=nries III regard to the nature OF
e~lee-lalay deserve as little considera-
non as Is now given to the metaphysi,ai
ragaries Of the schoolmen of tine .I:d1le
