Abstract
IN the “Astronomical Column” of last week's NATURE, on p. 501, you give an abstract of a paper by Mr. S. R. Cook, of the University of Nebraska, and quote the passage in which he points out that the present writer, when investigating the escape of gases from atmospheres, does not base his argument upon “the determination by the kinetic theory of the relative number of molecules which would have a velocity sufficient to enable them to escape from the earth or planet.”
