is far from saying that new data may
not come to hand tomorrow, or next
year, or next century, which will solve
the problem. Lord Kelvin, gifted with
! perennial frankness of imagination,
would be the last person to assert the
finality of present knowledge. But it is
certainly salutary check upon the
egotism of our time to be told that
the wisest living physicist, the man
who has been called the Newton of our
age, knows as little of the cause why a
stone tossed into the air falls back to
earth, as the boy who losses the stone.
THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURE.
Another most interesting speculation
in which Lord Kelvin is interested has
reference to the absorbing question of
the limits of temperature. AS most peo
pie know nowadays, the condition we
term heat is held by the physicist to be
merely a mode of motion" a vibra-
ton or culver among the particles of
matter. The precise nature of this vi
bration cannot, of course, be perfectly
understood until the precise nature of
the atoms of matter themselves is made
clear. But Professor DOlbear has point
ed out that if the vortex theory be true,
then there must be peculiar limitations
to the atoms possibilities of vibration.
A ring-shaped atom, for example, could
only vibrate to the extent of becoming
completely collapsed-just as a tuning
fork can only vibrate to the extent of
bringing its two prongs in contact. Cor
responding limitations would be placed
upon vortex atoms of any conceivable
shape; hence, says Professor ,Dolbear,
If the vortex theory be true, there must
be an upper limit of temperature. When
the vortex atom has reached it's limit
of vibration heat cannot become more
excessive.
Now, the physicists have long held
that there is lower limit of tempera-
ture-a so-called absolute zero-reached
when the atom altogether ceases to vi
bTate, and the question has highly in
teresting bearings, because it brings
into consideration no less a problem
than the age of the solar system. As
trCnomers and physicists are agreed
that the sun, the earth and the other
bodies of our system are cooling globes,
ard the calculations of the age Of our
system are based on the rate of loss
of heat, an estimate of which is de-
rived from direct observation of the
sun in its present relatively cool state.
These estimates have been made most
carefully by Lord Kelvin himself, but
neither he nor any one else thought
of taking into account the possibility
that the original nebulous body which
was ultimately to become our solar
system may have had a limited tenn
perature. Yet this possibility is a most

absolutely cuiescent at the absolute
zero point?
But, regarding this point also, Lord
Kelvin's scientific caution asserted it
self. THE experiments now being
made are most interesting and most
important" but as to what they
would show beyond the range of pres
ent experiment he declared himself
utterly unable to surmise-
I'VE must wait and see,' he said
I'VE must wait and seet If every
scientific worker would adopt that for
his maxim how much less there would
be of crude speculation in the world;
how much less that we learn would
have to be unlearned; how much more
rapid would be the real progress of
every seeker after truth Speculation
is easy, but the greatest mind attaches
no Importance to it's day dreams unless
they are surely built upon a broad
foundation of facts.
And so Lord Keivin's scientific eau
ton serves more almost than a9v-
thing else visible about him to impress
one with the greatness of his mind.
The interviewer left the famous ply
sicist feeling an enhanced apprecia-
ton of his genius. That freedom from
prejudice which he had shown through
out is perhaps the very highest of
mental endowments. One feels glad
that he answered Just as he dfd about
all these half-visionary and half-scien-
tific speculationS. But all the same
there is pleasure and sometimes profit
in the occasional unleashing of the
imagination, and the scientific world
is to be congratulated that once upon a
time Sir William Thomson permitted
himself to dream the dream of the
vortex atom. Nor is it at all certain
that future generations will decide that
it was only a dream" Certainly the
main body of scientists of our day
could by no means be persuaded to
hold the vortex theory as lightly as it
is held by its author. When genius
dreams, they say, there is always a
chance that it may dream true" Des-
pite Lord Kelvins modest estimate,
therefore, the vortex theory certainly
will not be discarded until some better
theory shall have come to take its
place, and of that there is as yet no
sign of promise.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-01-02

important one, since, of course, the
rate of cooling of any body depends in
part l3on its degree of temperature.
THINKS THE EARTH IS SOLID.
This entire question is one that ap-
pears to have had peculiar interest for
Lord Kelvin. 1t even brought him al
most to the point of a controversy at
one time with the biologists (and his
life has been singularly free from con-
troversies), because he could only al
low them 100, GOO, 900 years for the exist
ence of life on the globe; and with the
biologists, because his calculations led
him to believe that the earth is solid 10
the core, and at least as rigid as steel,
while they stood out for a fluid inter
ior Hence it was to be expected that
Professor Dolbear's suggestion, based
as it is on one speculation of Lord KEEL
wins, and tending, if supported, to Wit
late the force of one of his important
speculative calculations, should at once
interest the author OF the vortex the
ory, and the calculator OF the earth s
age And so it did. He either had not
CHANGED to hear of the suggestion be-
fore, or else courteously feigned sur
prise over It. In either case, 1T I'M
questionably interested him intensely;
but when it came to the expression OF
an opinion as to the validity of Pro-
fessor Dolbear'S conclusions, that was
quite another matter

and itself can prove nothing-nothing
whatever. We must not heap theory on
theory, dream upon dream. We must
wait and see. If there be an upper limit
of temperature, experiment may some
time demonstrate it, but the vortex
theory cannot prove it in advance. for
the vortex theory is only a dream. 1t
can prove nothing"
Thus once more did the vortex theory,
which is the adopted darling of many
a scientific imagination of our day, re-
ceive the cold shoulder from its right
full sponsor.
THE ABSOLUTE ZERO POINT.
Quite OF the same tenor were the
great physicists comments on the
probable outcome of the experiments
now being made with low tempera-
lures. Every one has heard that Pro-
fessor Dewar and other investigators
have liquefied the gases, and even re-
duced many Of them to a solid condi-
ton, producing an almost unimagin-
able degree of cold. 1t having been
shown that the same body changes
from gaseous to liquid and from liquid
to solid states. simply in virtue of
changed temperature, the question has
naturally arisen as to what will hap
pen when body is reduced to condi-
ton in which the vibration of its atoms
altogether ceases. The particles of a
gas are so active that they fly as
under, reduce their activity Chat is
to say, decrease their temperature,
and they move freely over one another
and assume the liquid condition, make
them still more ouiescent and a solid

change of state when they are made

TALK WITH LORD KELVIN.
The Foremost Scientific Thinker of the Day Discusses the
Vortex Theory.

Copyright, 1887, by S. S. Mcclure Coz
Whenever one hears reference made
te such questions as the age of the
solar system. the future of the sun, or
the probable length of time that life
has been possible on our globe, the
name of Lord Kelvin is sure to be
mentioned as the authority for the
opinion given. But for that matter.
there is hardly any other question to
which physical science has application,
OF which about the same thing may not
be said, for Lord Kelvin's interests and
mental activities appear to have no
barriers short Of the very limits OF
present human Knowledge, while the
original cast of his thought is such that
almost any topic on which he touches
is sure to reveal novel and unexpected
relations.
1t was in reference TO one Of his
speculations, and one that easily takes
rank among the foremost scientific
lmaginings of any age, that he very
kindly granted IN interview recently.
This speculation has 70 do with that
Notwithstanding question Of the ulti-
mate nature Of matter. When Lord
Kelvin (Sir William Thomson as he
was them came forward with his very
extraordinary vortex theory it was
based upon mathematical calculations
Of the other great physicist, Won Helm
hoitz, which took tangibla form in
Lord helvin's mind while he was
watching the activities of some curious
little whirling rings of smoke in the
air, similar to those with which every
tobacco smoker is familiar. Helmholtz
had shown that such a vortex whirl
once started in q frictiOnleSS medium
must, theoretically, go on for ever. The
vortex Whirls of smoke in the air of
course do not go on forever, because
their medium is not frictionless; but
Lord Kelvin observed that while they
last they exhibit a similar stability,
and though composed of mere wreaths
OF smoke, take upon themselves the
properties of solid bodies, in virtue of
the motion, just as a. moving bicycle
assumes the property of upright rig
idity. And the thought came to him
that if a vortex whirl were started in
the ether, which physicists assume as
penetrating space everywhere, such an
