The basis of the theory is electricity, and its object is to construct a model atom, made up of 8peci6ed arrangements of positive and negative electricity, which shall imitate as far as possible the properties of the real atom. We shall postulate that the attractions and repulsions between the electrical charges in the atom follow thd-familiar law of the inverse square of the distance, thouf^h, of course, we have only direct experimental proof of tin's law when the andmagnitude of the charges the t.Hires between them are enormously greater than those \\\\u'\i can occur in the atom.
