VELOCITIES It was stated on page 86 of the July 15th issueof the Journal of Electricity that the velocity oflight is 186,400 miles a second, whereas that ofelectricity is 284,500 miles a second. Accordingto present theories on this subject, on whichmuch of electrical science is based, the velocitiesof light and electricity are the same. The errorarose from a newspaper item which was clippedas a curiosity and which found its way into thepages of the Journal of Electricity without thenecessary explanation. 150 JOURNAL OF ELECTRICITY [Vol. 45—No. 3. The cure for all ills of modern civilization is the abolition ofpower companies, according to the following astonishing docu-ment, which is an extract from a letter recently received bythe State Supreme Court of California: Surface current of atmosphere extends about two miles. Above this acurrent blows 100 miles an hour from Equator to Poles vessicles super-heated by Sun Ray, explode, those coming- into shade collapse into waterparticles. Apetite of rarer air for vapor exhausts heat of fluidity of waterparticles congealing them into ice morsels, abounding above and betweenthe vapor clouds. These entering higher air current are conveyed to anddeposited round Poles, to fulfill Danl vii, 23, 2nd Peter iii. To avertwhich Adam was created, with reason. Vapor is practically opaque toradiant heat, which escaping from exploded and collapsed vessicles, isabsorbed by vapor, eventually giving tension downwards, preventing evap-oration of all surface water.
