Won HELMHoLTZ DEAD.
Prof. Herman Won Helmholtz, the
eminent scientist, who was recently
stricken with paralysis, died in Ber-
lin aged "a.
DR.. Won Helmholtz was the father
of the law of the conservation OF
energy, which is the foundation of
modern science and technical de.
velopment. AS early as 1887 he
proved that all occurrences in nature
were dependent on the fundamental
laws of mechanics. In 1854 he
advanced the doctrine relative to
the reciprocal effect of natural
powers, thereby proving that the
sum of energy interfering with one
object always remained the same.
He was one of the first to observe
and account for the cohesion of the
nerve fibers and the cellular nerve
system. In the development of the
electro dynamics he ranks foremost
with his contemporaries. He was
also the inventor of optical instru-
ments of precision, which alone
would have made him famous.
