Scientists long studied the “effect” but they could not explain
it satisfactorily.
Now, after years of experimenting with Crookes
tubes, X-ray tubes and radium, it is known that the current that
leaps across is a stream of “‘electrons”— exceedingly minute par-
ticles negatively charged with electricity.
