THE NATURE OF ELECTRICITY.

Remains One of the Unso1ved Prob
lens of the Century.
Daling with the science problems of
the twentieth century Professor A. e.
Dolbear says concerning the ALIEN
bracing mystery Of electricity:
Here on the threshold of the new
century we are confronted with the
question, What is electricity and the
answer implied by the question seems
to demand a something which could
be described by one who knew enough,
as one would describe some new min
scientific men are befogged by the
question, say it is some ultimate IN
movable thing, and hopeless as an in
quiry. If it be a something it must
be described by its constant properties
as other things are. If it be unlike
everything else then it can not be
described by terms that apply to any
thing else. All material things have
some common properties. A glowing
coal is an incandescent solid, fame is
an incandescent gas, but neither glow
nor fame exists apart from the matter
that exhibits the phenomena. Both
are conditions Of particular kinds of
matter.
IF electric phenomena are different
from grayitative or thermal luminous
phenomena it does not follow that
electricity is miraculous or that it is a
substance. We know pretty thorough
ly what to expect from it. for it is
quantitatively related to mechanical
and thermal and luminous phenomena
as they are to each other; so if they
are conditions Of matter the presump-
ton would be strongly in favor of cleo
tricity's being a condition or property
of matter, and the question What is
electricity? would then be answered
in a way by saying so, but such an
answer would not be the answer appar-
emily expected to the question. To say
it was property Of matter would not
be much more Ineligible than to say
the same of gravitation.
"At best it would add another prop
erty to the list of properties we al
ready credit it with, as elasticity, at
traction and so on. In any case the
nature Of electricity remains to be
discovered and stated in terms common
to others forms Of phenomena, and it
is to be hoped that long before this
new century shall have been completed
mankind will be able to form as ade-
quate an idea of electricity as it now
has of heat"
Professor Dolbear intimates in his
article the belief that the field of in
vestigation and research remains as
large and fruitful as it has ever been.
