Abstract
A WARY man hesitates to cross swords with a skilful fencer, but it is cowardly to decline to face difficulties. Colonel Moore-Brabazon might well have asked for other explanations—Why two electricities? What is the difference between the so-called positive and negative electricities? What is negative energy? Why does not the electron explode? However, he is probably prepared, like the rest of us, to accept Nature as we find it, and the paths that we follow are forced upon us rather than chosen.
