Wilson of Columbia university and Mr..
Charles +. Fox, president of the New
York Scientific Alliance, Grand Central

elected treasurer. The plan is to or
ganize such bodies i'm all the principal
localities throughout the states, and
some of the other large cities have al
ready formed such committees.
Like all genius. in advance of its
time" Professor Osborn remarked to
the writer, Huxley was not fully ap-
preciated until his latter days. He
yearned in vain for a university post,
and in 1850 cast his eyes toward Amer
lea, but in those early days classical
prestige even i'm the enlightened new
world, was dead to the science which 1t
was HuXley's great service I'm support
the lead of all others, in England
of Darwin to place beside physics, in
Professor Osborn's reference to Hulk
ley's thoughts of America at the time
of his trials, for what he considered
proper recognition at home in his early
life, is a truely significant disclosure.
According to the comments of the not
ed Columbia university biologist, who
knew him we'll enough to have that
much of his confidence. one would be
inclined to assume that had Huxley
been given the slightest encouragement
to come to this country and accept a
post in one of our universities. his fame
would have been American.
1t is expected that there will be a
large surplus over the amount required
for the modelling of the statue, as was
the case in the Darwin subscription
movement. which is to be used for the
founding Of scholarships. A consider
able amount has already been pledged,
several thousand pounds in England,
and several thousand dollars in Amer

contributions to the great and newly
developed science of evolution that
must ever stand. monumental remind
ers of what Huxley has mastered for
science. But as Lord Kelvin has re-
marked, he was not a man satisfied
with being only a specialist, content TO
investigate his special subjects. He
had a mind that must broaden into
philosophic thought. The moral lessons
of his biological work extended even
into the field of politics. He was a
worker who gave his life and sacrificed
his health for the advancement of the
welfare of mankind, which he himself
considered of even greater Importance
than his promotion of the more purely
intellectual sciences. Who, then, de-
serves a memorial or monument better
than Huxley? l join Lord Kelvin in
asking that question"

and have compared them to those of
the aurora: but while the aurora is
more like the glow of a partially ex-
hausted tube, the corona is like the
cathode rays of a highly exhausted
Crooke's tube. Professor Bigelow OF
the weather bureau of Washington has
often pointed out the likeness between
the curves of the coronal rays and
those of electric or magnetic lines of
force, such as those in which view FL
ings arrange themselves when sprink-
led over a magnet. He thinks that
they ultimately reach the earth, where
they profoundly affect the weather,
originating cyclonic storms, cold and
warm waves, etc. The discovery of
Mr.. Packer may thus put at our dispo-
sal the machinery for studying the
causes that lie at the root of all our
changes of weather. We can already
predict pretty well the progress of a
storm when it has once started; we
may now be able by studying a series
of corona photographs, to tell when
