TYSDALL ON RADIATION.

Fifth Scientific Lecture OF the PrOfcs sOr
at Cooper MISUNDERSTANDING Expcrf-
ments With the Thcrmo-Electric Pipe.
The nfth Of Professor Tyndall's lectures on scien
tinc subjects was given last evening before a large
and apprecatvc audience at Cooper Institute. The
lecture In this, the last OF very instructive
series, devoted to the region Of radiant action
beyond the visible red OF the spectrum, which was
illustrated by numerous beautiful and interesting
experiments The position and the magnitude ofthis
utra-red radiation was pointed out Experiments
on the heating power OF the total radiation from
the electric lamp were described and executed,
showing by the concentration Of such rays
and combustble bodies set abaze. The
particular constituent OF the radiation
which produces these effects was sought after and
demonstrated TO be- the ultEa-rsd unduations,,
OF nltering these invisible waves from the total
radiation and operating upon them alone. They
were proved competent, when concentrated,
to heat metals to wilderness. Their action
ON nature was then illustrated, and the
luminous rays OF the sun were proved
incompetent to heat water or to melt ice, and
for rain, nor do they melt SHOWS, and the glaciers
which give rise to the Rhine and Rhone and
other rivers The physical identity OF light
and heat was then illustrated, and these
i aie waves were proved capable OF re-
nection, refraction, polarization, depolari-
cation, circular polarization and double
refraction. The lecturer threw great deal OF in
terest into this subject which requires considerable
study TO understand, and BY the lucid manner in
which he treated 1t made his experiments comprc-
hensible to the mediocre mind. Among the audi
encc were Q g00dly sprnkling OF our most cce-
prated sclentlnc men, and frequent rounds OF ap-

s resolution first of all, to "tO or die"
We are depending too much on others.
We are waiting for something to turn up or
for somebody to come and set the car Of
progress in motion. We are not willing to
see it moving slowly. We want it TO move
fast or not at all. Better to put our own
shoulders to it. When it begins 10 move

But we want still more. We may have
capital, energy and all that, but there is
dearth ofthat industrial thought and training
and talent which are required to put gear
on our streams; to direct the movements
of machinery; TO conduct the details Ct
manufactures. We doubt whether there
are one hundred young men raised in the
State who can put up the machinery Of
cotton factory or wooden mill. Our young
men waste their energies and time in trying

positions of trust and responsibility. We
need TO be instructed that

The young men who will accept WOTk
willingly as a necessity, and subscribe to
the truth that s'there is no excellence with

Of President Monroe he says !:


ssHe was an enemy to nepOtjSm and no
consideration or entreaty, no need of the
support which an Office would give, or in
tercesson from friends, could ever induce
him to appoint q reLQtiUe to any place IN
der the government"
Monroe, like his great predecessors,
Madison and Jefferson, died a poor man.
When Albert Gallatin, who was Secretary
of the Treasurer under their adminiStra-
tons, was minister to one of the countries
of E rope, be was offered by the great mo-
neyed house of Barring Bros, an interest in
a national loan. He declined the generous
offer, saying: at is not becoming that a
man who has been twelve years Secretary Of
the United States Treasury, and who went
into office poor, should die rich man"
Thus the earlier statesmen and patriots left
untainted names to history! Our present
President is both nepotist and corruption
ist-he believes that the Presidency is to be
used merely, while IN his hands, for the
purpose of making the most money pos
sible out of it for himself and his relatives.
