Scientific paper

MR. JAMES GEIKIE has recently brought out another edition of his ``Ice Age,'' a well-known and influential work. In this book he quotes freely from Sir Robert Ball's ``The Cause of an Ice Age,'' which appeared in 1891, and which was remarkable as the first work written by a professed astronomer in which an astronomical explanation of an Ice age was put forward and defended. As the influence of these books upon popular opinion, and even perhaps upon some scientific men, may prove very misleading and mischievous, perhaps you will allow me a little space in which to discuss Sir Robert Ball's work.
