We have shown that with a small couple a moderate 

 current can be produced. Imagine large number- 

 acting with i quantities of matter in 

 electrical stress in the earth, will get some idea of 

 one of the powerful f hich must have been at 

 in the formation of our world And this idea will be 

 strengthened by aid of the belief that when bodies fall into 

 the sun, forming sun -.vith their gaseous flames of 

 50,000 to 350,000 miles in length, huge molecular electrical 

 up.gcnei electrical energy, that 

 ommunicated through a distance of 93,000,000 miles, 

 and when it reaches our earth the effects arc felt by the 

 increased dai'. of our magnetic needle. 



Regarding the beautiful electrical experiments in vacuum 

 and i icuum that have been made by Prof. Crookcs, 



with these views, what might have
