77. Within the bodies of animals and vegetables, the electro- 
ether may be supposed to exist as an atmosphere surrounding the 
ethereo-ponderable atoms of which their organs are constituted, 
so as to occupy all the space which is not replete with such at- 
oms. Hence a discharge of frictional electricity may indirectly 
polarize the whole animal frame, by producing tere Sue 
ble polarization in the constituent atoms of the fibres‘ of the 
“herves aud muscles. ‘Probably this polarization is produced more 
piss eed in the ponderable hes by a discharge from a vol- 
sie e-dimbnei ions of the Sig as to nas gi sectional area.
