An Anecdote of Lord Kelvin,

As is well known, when engaged as a professor at Glasgow university, Lord Kel- win was simply MT. William Thomson but so famous had he become that it was no surprise to any one when he was sum- moned to Windsor to be knighted by the queen, who, like every one else, was Q strong admirer of the gentleman's work in the cause of science During the ab- scnce of the professor his duties were un- dcrtaken by MT. Day, who soon became deseryedly popular with the students who had to sit under him. But the newly cre- ated ''sir'' was considerably amused when on entering the lecture room on his return he saw inscribed on a large blackboard the words, Work while there is Day, for the knight cometh when no man can work" A Birmingham gentleman who told me the story vouches for the accuracy of the anecdote-in fact, he states that he received it from Lord Kelvin himself - Birmingham (England) Mail.
