To mention only sonorous vibrations , the propagation of electric signals along a
telegraph wire , and the conduction of heat by the earth's crust , as subjects in
their generality intractable without it , is to give but a feeble idea of its importance

Or we may , by increasing the strength of the current , or by coiling the wire many
times about the needle ( as will be explained when we describe the
galvanometer ) , multiply the effects of the current so that those of the earth's
magnetism may ...

But Weber goes farther , he assumes that an electric current consists in the
motion of particles of two kinds of electricity moving in opposite directions through
the conducting wire ; and that these particles exert forces on other such particles
