What determines Molecular Motion?—the Fundamental Pro-blem ofNature, By James Croll, of the Geological Survey ofScotland^. IT is an opinion which is daily gaining ground that at somefuture time, perhaps not far distant, all the purely physicalsciences will be brought under a few general laws and princi-ples. However wide and diversified physical phenomena mayseem at first sight, and however great and radical the apparentdistinction between the several sciences, yet to the eye of thethoughtful physicist, who sees deeper into the subject, theybegin to appear as but the varied modifications of a few commonprinciples. For example, Heat, Electricity, and Magnetism arein their ordinary phenomena very unlike each other; yet moderninvestigation has shown that they are mutually can be converted into Electricity, alondonedinburgh4441872lon
