The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Faraday as a Discoverer by John Tyndall: (not as yet magnetized by the electric current), so that the
polarized ray should pass through its length; the glass acted as
air, water, or any other transparent substance would do; and if the
eye-piece were previously turned into such a position that the
polarized ray was extinguished, or rather the image produced by it
rendered invisible, then the introduction of the glass made no
alteration in this respect. In this state of circumstances, the
force of the electro-magnet was developed by sending an electric
current through its coils, and immediately the image of the
lamp-flame became visible and continued so as long as the
arrangement continued magnetic. On stopping the electric current,
