Electricity was not then utilised for locomotion either on land or sea, or for raising ponderous bodies to an immense height, or in the various products of manufacture and art, or, in short, for any of the almost innumerable purposes where the various electricities are now employed, either separately or in combination.
WE discovered the means of drawing out the various electricities from the body to which they are appetent, and of concentrating and preserving them for use. Man, beasts, birds, insects, fish, reptiles, trees, plants, water, in short, all substances organic and inorganic, possess each its own peculiar electricity.
An amount of heat, therefore, which would raise a pound of water 1 degree would raise a pound of air 3.75 degrees. Q. What is the nature of combustion? A. Combustion is nothing more than an energetic chemical combination, or, in other words, it is the mutual neutralization of opposing electricities.
In Montalluyah learned men are employed wholly in the study of the properties of insects, for these contain valuable electricities. Colonies of insects, brought by the storms, formerly destroyed whole crops, till a simple mode was discovered for protecting our fields and capturing the marauders. It was ascertained what plant the insects liked most.
It seems to follow that the two facts are invariably connected, and that the excitement of electricity in any body has for one of its necessary conditions the possibility of a simultaneous excitement of the opposite electricity in some neighbouring body. As the two contrary electricities can only be produced together, so they can only cease together.
He added to it new experiments of his own, and finally decided in favour of the 'Identity of Electricities. His paper upon this subject was read before the Royal Society on January 10 and 17, 1833. After he had proved to his own satisfaction the identity of electricities, he tried to compare them quantitatively together.
It has been ascertained, I should say, in Montalluyah that fire is produced by the union of certain electricities with a peculiar gas; and it is believed that these electricities are constantly attracted to the mountains, where they maintain combustion, and that when their nature is changed by the process, they attract other electricities with which they combine, and the compound electricity assists in replenishing the material that attracts the necessary elementary forces to support combustion.
As the work progressed, stages were constructed at different heights on which buildings were erected, where the workmen and their families lived until the task was completed, the materials and electricities used, as well as provisions and necessaries, being raised to these stages by electric power.
"She is safe." But if I was safe, I was very uncomfortable. I hardly knew why I was so uncomfortable. Only, I wished ardently that troubles might not break out between the two quarters of the country. I had a sense that the storm would come near home. I could not recollect my mother and my father, without a dread that there would be opposing electricities between them and me.
The principle was right, but, as was subsequently shown, the application and the conclusion were wrong. The error had arisen from the fact that electricities of every kind possess certain properties in common: thus, air electricity enters into the composition of them all.
