Abstract
WE are glad to be able to publish this week a translation of the Rede Lecture delivered at Cambridge by Prof. Alfred Cornu, professor of experimental physics in the École polytechnique, Paris, and a Foreign Member of the Royal Society, on the occasion of the recent celebration of the jubilee of Sir George Stokes as Lucasian professor of mathematical physics. Prof. Cornu delivered the lecture in French, and we are indebted to him for the translation of his brilliant discourse, which immediately precedes this Note.
