Abstract
I AM astonished at the Duke of Argyll's first letter (NATURE, vol. xxi. p. 274) not having received a more adequate answer from nearer home. The explanation of the phenomenon in question is to be found in the action of capillary attraction (as stated by Mr. King, p. 302), together with the growth of crystals by absorption from surrounding media; in this case from fog and watery vapour in the air.
