than a quarter OF an inch in diameter.
But small as the current is, it must fill
space in every direction for thousand
miles from the earth's surface to an ele-
space one mile high;
How many volumes must a small cur
rent OF electricity expand in order TO fill
all space of at least four million cubic
miles, supposng the current penetrates
space one mile high
If you will think carefully you will see
that an in6nitestimal quantity of cleo
tricity leaves the wire at each click of the
instrument, a mere atom we might call
il. an ion as the scientist would name
il But that ion must expand till ii pene-
trates every particle of space in that four
million cubic miles.
Now TO the question again: Does that
electric current remain all the while as
electricity?
We know that water is expanded till it
becomes gas, forming part Of the air we
breathe. The same OF coal When the
metals are expanded they BECOME gases
and we may breathe them as a part of the
atmosphere. Then what is the product OF
expanded electricity?
we can only reason from analogy, and
for a theory upon which to work we will
say that the wireless message comes to
the receiver in the condition of the ether.
We know that the force received is not
the same as sent out, the former being
much less. We know that the atmosphere
is an exceedingly poor conductor Of cleo
tricity. while magnetism and the ether
passes readily through all substances. We
know that the X-Tays are magnetic. possi-

that have become solids by condensa-
ton return TO the gases from which they
were condensed, when they are expanded
again.
What then can be said against the
theory that electricity is condensed magnet
ism and the latter condensed ether? When
we have reasoned together will We not
find that in wireless telegraphy the electric
current is expanded into that from which
it was condensed?
If magnetism and electricity are con-
densed ether then life and motion are in
the atom, and not in some far away store
house OF nature.
