Abstract
MR. AITKEN'S letter (p. 340) shows that he has curiously misunderstood me. I never entertained the smallest “objection to” his “not countenancing the nucleus theory to explain” the action of electricity upon the steam jet. On the contrary I was rejoiced to find that so able and distinguished a physicist appeared to hold the same opinion on this point as myself. In labouring to abbreviate I must have become very obscure. Perhaps my meaning may be made clearer by an amplified and annotated paraphrase of the words in question (see ante p. 213).
