According to an analogous theory, lightalso was composed of an imponderable substanceof the same explain magnetic phenomena recourse was had to a new ma-terial, the magnetic fluid;^^ and for electric phenomena asecond fluid had to be admitted, which, like the magnetic fluid,must be composed of two distinct kinds. In regard to light andheat, it is now proved that these phenomena are oscillations,either of the minutest particles of matter or of the sether—thatsubtile and elastic material diff
