ELECTRIOITY. And the Terms Energy, Pressure, Intensity and Quantity. ' What is electricity? • The ` question was put directly to Dr, Charles Proteus Steinmete, the famous expert, in the hope that he— than Witoni no one knows more about it—might be able if not to tell what it Is, at least to give a, definite idea of 'whet it may Me Dr. Steinmetz re- plied,' "Electricity is a loose tort% used raleeellatteoUsly in referring to all matters electrical. "To give it definite reeaning one must know whether reference is made to eleetricat energy, electrical presSure, eledrical intensity or electrical quan- tify, "Electrical quantity (represented in the electrical eurrent) is generally wa- n/Zed by seientil3tii to be a Subetance with atomical structur, the unit of which le the eleetron. "Electrical Pressure is meant in re - forting to the voltage. Electrical in- tenetty is the voltage per unit length. "Magiletistn is a similar tern', 'which does not bean anything to the scien- tist.

"Is there Such a thing as electric- ity?" bo Vette askod eahnot otsta positively that elec- triettl quantity in a aubtitanto," Dr. SWAIM/tit replied, "or that there is each an itt0111 as the electron.
