Scientific paper

WITH reference to Mr. A. S. E. Ackermann's letter in NATURE of January 15, in which he states that, in putting the possible efficiency of obtaining power from the sun with the heat engine at less than 2 per cent., I have used too low a figure, I may point out that, whereas Mr. Ackermann's figure of 4.32 per cent, was a maximum obtained presumably under specially favourable conditions, and as I understand in Egypt, in suggesting a figure of less than 2 per cent. I was referring to what could be expected ``in this latitude and in this climate''-that is to say, in England, and also as an average during the hours of daylight throughout the whole year.
