Heating by Electricity.

Scientists Iale settled among them

molecules, Of which it is composed. are
in state of rapid to-and-frC motion OF
oscillation. increasing the temperature
only serves TO increase the violence 81
these molecular vibrations until the body
is melted down or Cva1orattd. When
n body is deprived Of ali its heat the
oscillations entirely cease. Therefore il
becomes apparent that energy must bs
transmitted or work done on the mole
cules before heat oscillations can be pro-
diced. If body is warmed at the ire
the heat energy is transmitted. II two

The principle of heat by electricity is

Al the head of such a paper at the
