190 hertz's researches on electrical waves. 



iuvestigations give a strong support to the theory that the propagation 

 of electromagnetic induction also takes place by means of waves. They 

 therefore afford a confirmation of the Faraday-Maxwell theory of elec- 

 trical action. He points out however that Maxwell's, in common with 

 other electrical theories, leads to the conclusion that electricity travels 

 through wires with the velocity of light, a conclusion which his experi- 

 ments show to be untrue. He states that he intends to make this con- 

 tradiction between theory and experiment the subject of further inves- 

 tigation.
