Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ...and the motion will induce a momentary current passing round the circuit against the hands of a watch. The very terms of this description, read in the light of onr conclusion that magnetism is due to the existence of broad ether currents revolving around the magnet (p. 174), completely suffice to show the applicability of the reasoning Taken from " Enc. Brit.," Art. "Electricity," p. 75. which has already been given with regard to the cases marked (a) and (6) (see p. 161) to the case now before us. The fact-that this is so furnishes important corroboration of our conclusion that revolving ether currents are present in magnets. The experiment may be varied by placing a soft iron bar in the cavity of the coil, and moving the pole of a magnet towards or from the end of this bar, thus producing an increase or diminution of the induced magnetization of the bar (see p. 169). The intensity of the effects in this case is very striking. The entirely mechanical nature of ether currents is brought out by the fact that the sudden making or breaking of a current produces a development of elec0 tromotive force not attained during the steady continuance of the current, the exhibition of electromotive force being, according to our arguments, evidence of the separation of the two ethers. This is illustrated in various wavs. One of the simplest is that by which Mr. Jenkin has shown that, although it is impossible, with a short circuit of wire and a single battery cell, for an experimenter to obtain a shock by making and breaking contact, he may obtain a very powerful shock if the coil of an electro-magnet is included in the circuit. Thus: --Let z c (Fig. 10) be a battery of a single cell, c A B D E F a circuit, with a cross branch B F, in which...
