THOS. HENRY HUXLEY.

Thomas Henry Huxley was born at
Ealiag. in Middlesex. England. May
4, 1926, aud died at Eastbourne on the
29th of June. To have lived seventy
years was comparatively long exist
ence for Huxley, for he had been in
bad health ever since 1882; but
physical distress never for a moment
impaired his mental vigor.
Huxley's father was one of the mas
ters Of Ealing school. aud the boy had
the advantages Of sound rudimeotary
education. In after-life Huxley would
declare that he owed much to his
mother, and would expstia.e on trait
she possessed ;hat Of rapid thinking,
which faculty he prided himself on
exercising. 10 his biographical notes,
unfortunately too sparse. Huxley 10
sisted that his method of study had
been desultory. What be liked be
studied, neglectiug what vas not to his
taste. Probably Huxley was not a
good judge Of his uascept powers. for
be seems to have mastered when young
many topics. and besides that, when q
lad, had acquired German and French.
To ask. after all, the main question,
What did this man do !'-:be

are studied. His many volumes treas

anatomy; !; Of science, general and spe-
cial Then there are his essays. many
Of which. and his best work, are not
entirely scientific It is in the role Of
great teacher that Huxley's fame will
be perpetuated.
How much he agreed or did not agree
with Darwin is of the least importance.
1t vas for his fne freedom Of thought
that Huxley is above all distinguish
able. His was constant combat With
superstition This superstition, he be-
iieved. blocked the way of progress. y
His was, he insisted. mot 6ght be-
tween science and religion, but between
science and theology" Referring to
his theological contentious. be wrote
that che doubted whether any cham
pioo could be found whose competency
would be recognized beyond the coterie
to which it belonged" 1t is griev
ous bluuder to insist that Huxley had
no reverence. for has be not written,
"Mau follows bis higher nature when
he worships his Maker
What Huxley particularly resented
were the clumsy attacks directed to-
wards hiu, by slipshod persouages. who
sometimes were peers, and ofteDer
bishops. Iu such cases be showed de-
cided annoyance and sometimes mis-
spent energy His pen could be tren-
chant, bis irony cutting but when he
met worthy foe he vas courteous.
There was an amusing passage-as-arms
between him aod Lord Kelvin When
the latter deduced the age of the earth
from the retarda,:ou of the moon by
abssruse mathematical calculation.

The State S Condition.
Financially and from Dispensary
Standpoint.

Governor Evans is now OF the
opinion that tue dispensary system
can be operated very near the actual
cost of. purchasing, bottling and ship
ping the liquor. He says it has been
the desire to furnish good liquor to
the people as near the actual cost
price as possible
The new schedule Of prices, which
has been prepared, but has not yet
been adopted by the State board of
control, makes very. material reduc-
tons in the prices The price of 50
per cent. whiskey for instance has
been brought down to Ii cents half
pint.
Governor Evans says that the dis
pensary now has the States S50,00o
appropriation for the starting of the
dispensary IN the State treasury,
though it has not yet been placed to
the general account of the State. 1t
is there, however, and it is only kept
of, the general account as a safe
guard 1t can be transferred to the
general account and be utilized at a
moments notice.
He says that the State nov has
$4,000 in bank in cash on the gen.
eral account, Notwithstanding the
fact that the July interest has just
been paid in full. He does not think
that the State will have to borrow
any money shis year with which to
meet its obligations.
And thus it is that the Governor
says the State board of control feels
that the time has come to make the
dispensary selfsustaining, and. at
the same time, furnish the people
with liquor as near the actual cost as
possible. State

OF INTEREST TO ELECTRICIANS.
A Report From the United States

ing purposes and eSsctro-chemical opera
tions special report 10 the state depart
ment from ". s. Consul Mason. at Frank
fort, des scribing new device for the
economical conversion OF the high pres
sure alternating currents, which are un-
avoidably associated with any system OF
long distance transmission of electric
power. will be OF the greatest interest TO
American electricians The invention
bridges an industrial difficulty, which
becomes more and more serious With each
step OF progress in this great WORK, and
a years test of the device at the Frank
fort works, show that the deficiency
OF the new system now as the Pollack
rectifier is fully 96 per cent. In other
words, a 3000-volt alternating current Is
resolved into 65-volt harmless direct
current with a loss OF but four per cent.
and one important result is that motors
OF all sizes may be driven by this con-
verted direct current, storage batteries
may be charged and electrolyticai opera
tions performed-all impossible with the
alternating current. A full description
and illustrations of the apparatus Is
given by Mr.. Mason in bis report, show
ing that ii depends entirely upon the
arrangement OF sets OF double brushes in
a small motor moving synchronously
with the distant yielding dynamo.
