Has just seen mention of MF's latest experiments showing the connection of light and magnetism. Comments on these. Proves some of his own theories to be correct.
Asks WP to recall the particulars of an experimental session [see WP's 1823-3-11] where JH tried to demonstrate the polarization of light by an electrical current in a coil of wire.
