Excerpt from Electricity: What Is It?

Prof. Rutherford. Positive electricity might be regarded as a kind of cement holding the atom together. The electron was the active constituent in the atom. All attempts to show that the positive electricity was carried in the same way as the negative had failed. The positive electron could not be said to have been isolated.

Sir Oliver Lodge. With regard to the positive charge there was a difficulty. The positive electron might have no existence, but there must be a positive charge.

Sir W. Ramsay. Hydrogen was an element, but it might be more exact to regard it as an element connected with an electron, and he had a difficulty in disposing of this electron, when forming a molecule.
