- Editor's Notes
- [TAE APPARENTLY STILL KEEPING UP WITH PUBLICATIONS BY CROOKES, ET. AL.] I have your letter of the 11st inst and in reply beg to say that I think radiant matter a humbug. Edlund's (?) theory of the conductivity of a perfect vacuum. the apparent resistance being due to polarization at the surface of the electrodes, perfectly explains the action because the current varies with every different metal being lowest for zinc and highest for carbon. The resistance also changes with the current showing polarization.# the pamphlet you speak of had not yet come to hand.
