while his experiments and calculations
leading up to this result were of such
an elaborate and complicated nature
as to preclude general interest in
them, the result itself was of so much
practical value that it commanded the
attention and admiration of the world.
This discovery may be considered the
turning point in a wonderful career.
Up to that period Professor Thomson
had been engaged largely with abstract
science. Now, he was in a measure
forced into new position. The knowl-
edge which he had acquired must be
put to practical use for the benefit Of
mankind. The world required it, civil
ization demanded it.
Thus, without fully approaching it.
this unpretentious Irishman became in
strumental in changing the existing
order of things, making it possible to
bring all the nations of the earth into
closer communication, and remove
such barriers as time and space to the

followed by treatise on The Linear
Motion of Heat. Both contributions re-
ceiVed considerable attention in France
and Germany, as we'll as in England,
and when, a short time afterwards, he
published his Statements of Principles
on Which the Mathematical Theory Is
Propounded, and Geometrical Investi-
cations with Reference to the Distri-
button of Electricity on Spherical Con-
ductors, the scientific world was ready
to listen, to applaud and to accept his
theories. All of this work was accom-
plished before the young scientist had
attained his majority, and he signal
| lied that event by delivering the Ba-
| kerian lecture on The Electro-Dynamic
Properties of Metals, which was not
able because of the valuable expert
| mental Investigations it made public.
The following year he was appointed
professor of natural philosophy in the
Glasgow university, which position he
retained until his retirement to private
life.
The period Immediately following
this appointment, and, in fact, extend
ing over 20 years, was occupied by close
application to scientific research and
experimental work These investiga-
tons included all branches of physics,
but particular attention was devoted
to electricity, heat and dynamics. The
name of Lord Kelvin will be associated
! with those Of Joule and Clausius be-
; cause of his researches on heat, and
with Maxwell, Faraday, Henry and
Won Helmholtz, on account of his
great work in electrical science. II is
unquestionably true that Lord Kelvin
is today regarded by electrical men
the world over as the highest exponent
Of electrical science
While Lord Kelvin was plain Will
liam Thomson, professor of natural
philosophy at Glasgow university, his
mathematical Investigations into the
nature and laws of electricity enabled
him to determine the velocity of the

entlfic subjects. He was a student of
the Glasgow university in the early
days and before taking up his original
work.
Lord Kelvin, the most eminent of
living physicists, has been a conspicu-
Gus figure in the world of science for
half century and today he occupies
an unique position among scientific
men. He is regarded with admiration
and respect by all, and SO great are his
attainments that he has been free from
the discomforts arising from the jeal-
ousies and contentious of less favored
workers. His whole life has been de-
voted to study, scientific research and
experimental work, and the results of
his labors have been many valuable
contributions to scientific literature,
formation.
Lord Kelvin was born in 1924, al
Belfast, Ireland, where his father,
James Thomson, LII. D., was engaged
as lecturer in mathematics at the
Royal Academical institute. The fam
lily removed to Glasgow in 1882, when
DR.. Thomson was given chair in the
university. Lord Kelvin has been a
permanent resident of Glasgow since
that time, and he has done much to
gain for the city and the University of
Glasgow the standing they have at
tanned in the educational and scientific
world. Many inducements to take up
his residence elsewhere and attach
himself to more pretentious universe
ties have been rejected by the distin-
guished scientist, and, as might be i'm
agined, he is regarded with admiration
and genuine affection by his towns
men, while his great ability and &C
complishments command their respect.
This attachment on the part of Lord
Kelvin for the University of Glasgow
is largely of a sentimental nature, and
is highly creditable to him. 1t was at
Glasgow that he began his scientific
studies, and, although only II years of
age at that time, he showed great apt
itude for mathematics. He received
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1899-09-25

much encouragement and assistance in
the Scottish metropolis; it was there
that his work was first appreciated and
rewarded, and for this reason alone he
has ever since Loyalty retained his
connection with the university and the
city. 1t must not be assumed that his
labors were not generally appreciated
and rewarded, for few men have been
so universally honored at home and
abroad. His fame has long been estab-
lished in all parts of the world. An in
cident illustrating this was furnished
by Ii Hung Chang during his last trip
around the world. When in Scotland,
the visitor expressed a desire to see
Lord Kelvin-in fact he was the only
person for whom the distinguished
Chinaman enquired-and when they
were brought together Ii opened the
conversation with characteristic re-
mark:

The retirement of Lord Kelvin from
the chair Of natural philosophy of
Glasgow university on July 18th
marked the closing of his career as a
teacher in that institution, and prob
ably means his retirement from active
participation in experimental work,
says Modern Machinery. Lord Kelvin
held his professional appointment in
Glasgow SO years, and in this he es-
tablished record over any other oc-
cupant of a university chair in that
country. When he was appointed in

MOURNING COSTUMES.

It is not really mourning to wear
white, even during the summer, imme-
diately after the death of some rela-
tive. There should be worn instead
black muslin, black lawn, black
mousseline de sole. and all other thin
materials in dead black. These should
be made without any white trimming
whatever, and, if possible, should be
trimmed only with the same material.
After six months a nuns yelling trim
med with rows of dead-black ribbon
or lustreless crepe de Chine may be
used. This, however, would not do
for widow; though after six months
1t might be worn by a woman who had
lost some near relative These crepe
de Chine gowns trimmed with ruch-
1ngs OF the same, and with some black
mousseline de sole around the waist
make very beautiful gowns gowns,
too, that are usually most becoming.
The princesse style is very good ir this
material, and the mourning effect NAV
be heightened by trimmings of Grape.
The Grape and crepe de Chine. oddly
enough, are very effective together;
it might be supposed that the two ma
terials have SO much in common that
they would not look well together, but
such is not the case. There are some
dead-black mourning silks that are
very good, light in texture, and of 50
dead black, that they look we'll with

ought to say, Lord Chandos- can
| forgive you? What you ask is more
than any woman could grant. / can
not pardon the treachery which has
ruined my life, which has stricken me,
without blame or fault of mine, from
the roll of honorable women-which
scorn and contempt of others, a woman
to be condemned and despised. Of
what use are all the gifts of Heaven to
me, with the scarlet brand you have
marked on my brown"
He grew white, even to the lips, as
the passionate words reached his ears.
Leone" he cried, "for Gods sake
spare me. I have no defense-no ex-
cuse; spare me- your words kill me.
They are not true, my darling; none of
what happened was your fault-you
were innocent and blaneless as a
child; you are the same now. Would
to Heaven all women we're pure and
honorable as you. Say what you will
to me, no punishment would be too
great for me-but say nothing against
yourself, never one word, Leone.
Could you forgive me? I have done
you the most cruel wrong, and I have
no excuse to offer-nothing but my
foolish youth, my mad folly, my un-
manly weakness. I have known it
ever since I married. You ar my only
love; I have never had another. All,
my darling, forgive me. If / have
ruined your life, have doubly ruined
my own"
She raised her beautiful, colorless
face to his.

prophecy that song held for us. And

How true and how cruel. I hear the

There was a long struggle in her

How could she forgive him? Yet the

LEARNING TO SPEAK
ExPE ERiMENTs IN TRYING TO EpCU-
CATE A MONKEY.

Sambo Can Already Do Many Things
His Trainer Has Taught Him But
He Has Not Yet Learned to Talk
An Interesting Orang Outang.
AS an appropriate climax to a series
OF experiments In educating monkey
Mr.. j. l.. Buck, now in Boston, will try
TO make the monkey talk. The animal
Is one OF the greatest curiosities In the
slmlan line ever seen. The point to
which his education has been carried
Is wonderful. He reJoices in the name
or Sambo, and Is B0rnean Of the
orang- -outang species.
Sambo eats at the table with as much
complacency as u Christion, and be-
hayes better at his meals than some
Christians. In describing his method
of teaching Sambo how he must use
spoon Mr. Buck explained that he
placed the food in a very deep cup;
Sambo's natural intelligence at once
showed him the use of spoon; but he
at first made the mistake of bringing
the provender from the depth OF the
cup by means of the spoon and then
laying down on the table to be grabbed
with his fingers.
Mr.. Buck cured Sambo of this habit
by placing hungry monkey at the
table beside him. When Sambo would
lay 1t down the hungry one would
snatch 1t away. After while Sambo
saw the point, and foiled the thief by
carrying the food directly from the cup
to his mouth by means Of the spoon.
The accomplishment acquired there
was no more trouble.

ing by being left for time in cold
place and afterward taken in and
warmly clothed. In this way the adj
vantage Of wearing clothes soon be-
came apparent to his monkey mind.
What caused Mr.. Buck most perplex-
ity was how to get Sambo to wear
cap. for he seemed to have rooted
antipathy to any kind Of headgear The
trainer was almost on the point Of CIV
ing up, when one day he noticed that
flies were annoying the monkey very
much. When they We're particularly
persistent around his head Sambo
would pull up his coat to protect his
poll. Inspiration came to Mr.. Buck.
Daubing little molasses on Sambo's
head he left him for time to be tor
mented by the flies. and then placed
cap over his head to show him the use
Of a covering. Sambo realized the util-
ity of cap at once and has worn it
without protest ever since.
BY these methods, and without the
use Of the whip that is considered so
Indispensable by most trainers of ami
mails, Sambos education was carried
on.
He can dress himself without assis-
tance, putting on his shoes and stock
ings as carefully as an orderly boy, at
meal times carrying his chair to the
table and sitting up like a regular
recognized member of the family. eat

with his napkin tucked under his chin.
