Death of Prot. TyndaII.

Prof. John Tyndall, the eminent scien-
fist, died Monday night at his house in
Haslemere, county of Surrey, England.
He had long been ailing, and his death was
fastened by a severe cold. Prof. Tyndall
was of Irish birth, having been born at
Leighln Bridge, near Carlow, Ireland,
Aug. 81, 1920. Sin his DEATH says the
New York Tribune, in an appreciative
paragraph, "the world of science suffers an
irreparabe loss. He was an original in
vestigator, whose activity and genius were
displayed in many fields, but perhaps his
greatest service to his fellowmen was in
popularizing science. He possessed the
literary gift in a rare degree, and the pow
er of explaining the most abstruse and in
tricate matters with marvellous clearness'
His work on "Heat considered as mode
of notion" published 30 years ago, was
an epoch making book. Ten years Later
he visited America and delivered his lee
lures on light in many of our cities. L
was characteristic of the man that he de
voted the proceeds of his successful lee
turing trip to the establishment of scientlt
ic scholarships in this country. A long
busy and useful life is ended"

A statue concentrating the heroic
death of Nathan Hale, "the patriot spy of
the Revolution, has recently been unveiled
in New York city. 1t stands at the Broad
way and Mail street corner of City Hall
park, as nearly as can be determined on
the spot where Hale was hanged by order
of the British general, Sir William Howe,
Sept. %, 1916.
Nathan Hale's story was short, simple
and pathetic He was born in Coventry,
Conn, June 6, 1850, He possessed fine
nature, with cultivated and scholarly tastes,
and was literally educated for his time,
being a Yale graduate The oppression of
the British and the resistance of the col
onists stirred his patriotic blood and he left
his books and his schoolmasters desk, and
at twenty-one was a captain in the Cont
mental army. He took part in the siege of
Boston and after the scene of the war
changed to New York distinguished him
self in three or four daring expeditions.
After the disastrous campaign of Long
| Island Washington selected Hale for the
| dangerous task of entering the British
| lines in disguise and reporting what he
found there. PersOnating a schOolmaster
and a loyalist who had taken refuge from
the rebels he gained the information
sought, and it was only at the last moment
that he was suspected, arrested and taken
before Gen. Howe who ordered him hang
ed as a spy. In the few hours that elapsed
between his arrest and his execution insult
and gnominy were heaped upon him and
he was denied all the privileges usually
accorded to even hardened criminals
Through all this he conducted himself Will
the greatest calmness and self-poise, anC
his last words were 81 regret that | hay'
but one life to lose for my country" Th
British officers and soldiers who witnessed
his death were deeply moved by his torti
tude and patriotism, and were as deepl
mortified at the brutality that had been III
fcted on him. In both armies his dealt
made a profound impression.
OF the statue of Hale it is said that 81
is a daily educator in patriotism to tn
street arabs and frequenters of Park row
The unusual sight of a statue with rop
around the neck and pinioned arms an
feet causes instant inquiry, which result
in the dissemination of the history of tn
martyr spy who was sorry he had but on
life to give to his country. Among tn
small Italian newsboys and bootblack
Nathan Hale has already won place be
side Garibaldi."
