Scientific paper

IN my letter to NATURE of February 26, I said that, with the earth's radius and gravity at their present values, and with the speed of rotation assumed to be one revolution in five hours, gravitation would exceed the centrifugal force until a distance from the surface was reached of more than double the earth's radius. Dr. Ball upon this writes that I ``concluded'' that when the moon was detached from the earth, ``the earth's radius must have been about three times its present one.'' I did not mean to imply this.
