Scientific paper

IN his discourse on ``The Æther of Space'' at the Royal Institution, February 21, 1908 (abstracted in NATURE, vol. lxxix., p. 323), Sir Oliver J. Lodge states that ``the force with which the moon is held in its orbit would be great enough to tear asunder a steel rod four hundred miles thick, with a tenacity of thirty tons per square inch,'' and he further states that Maxwell calculated the gravitational stress near the earth to be 3000 times that which the strongest steel could stand, and near the sun it should be 2500 times as strong as that.
