PRODUCES PHENOMENA OF NATURE 45 



goings on in Sirius and Algol, Orion and the 

 Pleiades are reported across enormous stretches of 

 millions of millions of miles of space. And by the 

 vibratory motion of the invisibly small, all things 

 are revealed; the infinitely little has enabled us to 

 conquer the inconceivably big. I hold seeing and 

 hearing are the simplest examples of wireless teleg- 

 raphy. 



Elihu Thomson, the great electrician, says : ' 'Hertz 

 proved that all luminous phenomena are in es- 

 sence electrical. Wireless electricity is the outcome 

 of Hertz's experiments on electric waves, and elec- 

 trical conditions and actions are more fundamental 

 than hitherto regarded." 



. William Ramsey, the distinguished chemist, says : 

 "It is a primary assumption that atoms of elements 

 or in certain cases groups of atoms are themselves 

 electrified, and atoms possess positive and negative 

 poles, and combinations ensue between such op- 

 positely electrified bodies." 



Mr. Francis Grierson, a prominent scientist of 

 London, in a recent London periodical, says : "So 

 far as we know electricity is the soul of visible form. 

 What we call brain waves have an analogy to elec- 

 tric waves. The discoveries and inventions of the 

 last ten years have made child's play of every pre- 

 viously known system of philosophy. The simple 

 but amazing facts disclosed during the past five 

 years, render the dreams, speculations and guess- 

 work of the past absurd. The little we know in a 

 practical way is more than all the philosphers of 

 the past knew from Aristotle to Leibnitz." 



Prof. Langley, in his address at the 1902 session 

 of the American Association of Science, stated that,
