    Notes: [Auszug] I QUITE agree with Dr. Poole. I had previously discussed the question he raises in a lecture, “Recent Developments of Cosmical Physics”, published as a supplement to NATURE of Dec. 4, 1926; there is a similar discussion on p. 131 of my “Astronomy and Cosmogony”: “Our terrestrial atoms have so ...

    Notes: [Auszug] OF the popular customs associated with Christmas, few have a Christian origin. The aim of the early Church was to distract its followers from the great festivals of the heathen, and consequently pagan elements were allowed to be incorporated as freely in the observance of Christmas as they were in ...

    Notes: [Auszug] A GLANCE at the illustration at the beginning of this book, which illustrates the adventures of running sap, is sufficient to show that the book is constructed on unusual lines.

    Notes: [Auszug] FINDLAY'S " Phase Rule " is too well known to call for a lengthy review on the appearance of a new edition. It is now five years since the format was changed in a new post-War edition of the book, and the subject is too well established to require a similar drastic revision at the present stage. ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE object of this note is to show that the theory of moving boundaries as developed by Kohlrausch and Weber overlooks the unequal transfer of the common ion at the boundary and consequently rests on a misconception of the conditions on the ‘indicator’ side of the boundary.

    Notes: [Auszug] THE CONCEPT OF SKILL. THE word ' skill' is used in many ways. It is therefore reasonable that for scientific purposes its connotation shall be slightly limited.
