Excerpt from The Survival
These are days of astonishing progress in physical science. Every year almost can be credited with some notable advance of a momentous kind. The twentieth century was heralded by the discovery of the atomic nature of electricity, which, long suspected by a few, then became the common property of all those who were in the van of progress and were actively engaged in investigation, whether in the study or the laboratory. Not only was electricity proved to consist of small particles, whose size, weight and velocities could be definitely ascertained and measured, but it was found that the very atoms of matter were electrically composed; and the foundation was laid of the Electrical Theory of Matter.
