Abstract
THIS little book consists of a discussion of the elementary portions of the kinetic theory on somewhat novel lines; the main title is therefore misleading; it is true that the subtitle modifies one's expectations to a certain extent, but even then the contents hardly come up to what one is led to hope for. The hypothesis referred to is the following:— the structure of the ether is granular; the ether particles rotate round their axes and circulate round each other; atoms are condensed ether particles, and the circulation of the latter is therefore to be identified with the rotation of the atoms; these in their turn circulate round each other; this motion constitutes the intramolecular rotation; ultimately the molecules circulate round each other.
