Abstract
PROF. EVERETT has evidently misapprehended what I said in my letter to NATURE, January 11. Nine foot-pounds would, of course, generate in a pound of matter a velocity equal to that acquired by the pound falling through a space of nine feet. And in reference to the deflecting power of rotation, what I meant was not the amount of deflection in a given space passed over, but the positive amount, say in feet, in a given time.
