VELOCITY or ELECTRICITY.

Spark and Mirror Method by which
II Was Determined.
To determine the velocity Of electric
ity spark board" was fitted with six
insulated knobs in straight line. The
distance from to 2 was the tenth Of
an inch. between and 3 was a quar-
ter Of a mile Of insulated wire, from 8
to 4 was again the tenth Of an inch,
between 4 and was another quarter
Of mile Of wire. and between 5 and 9
was once more the tenth Of an inch.
When the Jar was discharged there
were three sparks. one from ! to 2, one
from to 4 and one from 8 to 9. It was
found by viewing these in rapidly
revolving mirror that the image Of the
spark between 3 and 4, which could
only be formed after the wire coils had
been traversed, Jagged little behind
the other two.
This displacement Of the image was
then measured, and as the velocity Of
the mirror was known the velocity Of
the electrical discharge was deter
mined as 2SS,0O0 miles a second.
