Abstract
IN my remark referred to by Mr. Braak (February 18, p. 459) I merely meant the increase of temperature which inevitably occurs when a gas is compressed. The compression and warming are simultaneous; this is shown in the passage of a sound wave where the air is compressed and warmed, and expanded and cooled alternately many hundreds of times in a second. If a barometric change is Followed by a change of temperature at some subsequent time the result must be due to other conditions than those to which I alluded.
