AN ELECTRIC SPARK.
A Picture Which Shows just What It Is
Made Of.

A Picture Which Shows just What It Is
Made of.
Lord Armstrong, famous student Of
electricity, has succeeded in photograph
ing an electric spark. He claims that
there is no such thing as an electric
fuid;" that electricity is purely vor-
tex movement, such as we see when
watching rings of smoke drift from the
mouth of the smoker.
The Electricity, likeS the smoke,
moves over and over the circumference
of the ring-that is, it is sucked in by
one face of the ring and out by the 9TH
er."
This simple discovery may revolution
ize many established theories. Lord
Armstrong; photographs are said to
show to the eye the exact difference
between the positive and negative poles.
A camera and powerful electric ma
chine were placed in room. On the
sensitive plate contained in the camera
light and fine powder had been sifted,
so that when the electricity was dis
charged the dust upon the plate would
be driven about by electric streams, and
at the same time the light would affect
the plate. But a small fraction of a Sec
ond was required for the electricity to
give the luminosity necessary to enable
it to be caught in the act of settling the
dust in connection.
The picture shows black spot in the
center, which is the metallic disk which
rested on the Photographic plate and re-
ceived the positive discharge from the
electric machine. The electricity radi-
ates from the center in streams which
appear like feathery illuminated roots
of plant. Chicago Inter Ocean.
