Note 3 — Chapter XIV · VIBRATORY PHYSICS.—THE CONNECTING LINK BETWEEN MIND AND MATTER.

Electricians are now admitting that, in electric currents the energy does not flow through, or along the wire, itself; but is actually transmitted by the ether vibrations outside of the wire, just as in Keely’s experiments, running his musical sphere with a fine “thread” of silk, the energy is not transmitted through the sewing-silk, which acts only as the medium that makes the transfer of energy in this way possible; though not itself transferring it. ↑
