WITH reference to Mr. Alexander Johnson's letter on this interesting subject, I should like to point out that the theory of radiation pressure is not applicable to gases. Beyond a certain range of minuteness, the effect of radiation pressure on particles diminishes, and the size of a particle on which the repulsive force of light is at a maximum is vastly greater than molecular magnitudes. As this is very important, I quote certain numerical determinations given by Prof. Arrhenius (``Worlds in the Making,'' pp. 97, 98):-
