To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has also been applied to heat, and the recent experiments of Herz have proved that it holds good of electricity, as was so brilliantly foreseen by Maxwell. The study of Herzian waves, which led to the discovery of wireless telegraphy, showed that elec- tricity is transmitted by undulatory vibrations just in the same way as light; and it also led us to modify the theory of Fresnel by the introduction of a new principle certifying the absolute identity of the two phenomena. Nowadays, indeed, t...he ether-vibration, which Fres- nel looked upon as the source of light, has lost in our eyes the character of motion which he saw in it, and has become, on the contrary, simply the periodical variation of a tension or electric potential which we should cease to regard as real movement. Thus, in- directly, science reverts to the notion of those im- material fluids by which old-time physicists sought to explain the manifestations of force and its trans- mission to a distance. Such a conception has in- deed been re-adopted by several eminent men of science, such as Mr.
