but without deriving any increase of power from them or from 
the Calorimotor ; the Calorimotor then is an intermedium 
for the troughs aid the Rd otherwise incompatible. 
5. It is impossible as far as experiment has gone, to 
obtain any increase of power by combining the different 
kinds of voltaic apparatus, and indeed it may be doubted 
whether, when the power passes at all, through the instru- 
ments of different kinds, there is not always some loss; from 
S increased extent of connecting surfac 
hese various facts are probably all referable to the 
different powers, belonging to different proportions of the 
calorific, electrical, and luminous influence, excited by these 
different instruments, agreeably to the theory, which you 
have ingeniously proposed and ably defended; this view 
accords also with the known results of the combinations of 
cage elements, in different proportions, as of nitro- 
and oxigen, and of carbon and Geipen, and of carbon 
Bileieen: and nitrogen 
7. We are thus sent rhs to study our imponderable el- 
ements anew, and t , that the voltaic power is not 
electricity alone, nor rhbat aii nor light alone, but a com- 
ound of these three agents, variously proportioned in dif- 
erent cases, and in different modifications of apparatus. 
This, it appears, is also true, of tie common mechanic 
and atmospheric electricity. 
Remark. 
As the magnetic influence attends all the modifications of 
electricity, natural and artificial, and of the voltaic power, 
including your new instruments; and as it is exhibited also 
by the solar beam, we are left in doubt, whether to regard 
it as a mere appendage of these powers, or of fee! ene or 
two of them, or as a distinct influence or energy, 
ly associated, with the colorific—calorific ae "eketiesl

But, as the magnetic influence is marvellously more pow- 
erful, in i the Calorimotor, than in the case of any voltaic,
