== Velocity of electricity == 

 On 22 August, several paragraphs regarding the velocity of electricity were inserted.  I'm taking them out because they have no bearing on the life of Charles Wheatstone.  They discuss events which occurred after Wheatstone's death.   

 Moreover, these paragraphs amount to defense of a distinctly unconventional theory of electrodynamics.  Several items in these paragraphs are either meaningless, or flat wrong, according to the generally accepted laws of physics.  So that's another reason to take them out.
