Abstract
SOME prominence is given in NATURE of August 9 to a letter of L. A. Bauer, a magnetic computer of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, on the above subject. Absence from home and other circumstances have prevented me from replying to this letter before now. It is not my intention to engage in controversy with a critic who roundly condemns my theory and experiments without reason, and at the same time naïvely announces that, by means of formulæ established by himself, he has succeeded in representing the observations many times better than the magnetarium results.
