208 DYNAMIC ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM.

the influence of an electric current from A to ^, are supposed to be reduced to a symmetrical phase, in which the oxygen part of each is turned towards the anode and the hydrogen part towards the cathode. Now a new grouping is supposed to take place, the oxygen of each molecule moving to the left to recombine wiai C.\& hydrogen of the adjoining left-hand molecule, and the hydrogen moving to the right to recombine with the

oxygen of the adjoining right-hand molecule; the new formation being represented by line 3, in which the oxygen part of the molecule at the left end of the chain and the hydrogen part of the molecule at the right end IS each left without a mate, and being prevented by electric action from combining with each other, each iS given off as gas. Thus while an interchange of atoms and molecules is taking place all along the infinite number of lines of electric action throughout the entire mass, the opposite ions make their appearance only at the electrodes. The decomposition of every other eiec trolyte is supposed to take place in a similar manner.
