Abstract
QUITE accidentally this evening I noticed in NATURE that Capt. Evans was to read a paper on the Magnetism of the Earth, before the Royal Geographical Society at the London University. Having devoted considerable attention to the subject I was desirous of hearing the paper and hurried up to town. I found, however, that I could not obtain admittance without an order. I offered payment but that was useless. I explained to the doorkeeper that I had come a long distance, was most anxious to hear the paper, and did not know until then the terms of admission, otherwise, as many of my friends are Fellows, I would have supplied myself with the necessary order.
