THE practice has been to clean up
the streets every Saturday and cart off
the dirt. 1t would be better plan
after the paving is completed to keep
a man nearly all the time employed
on them cleaning them off so that
they would never get very dirty. 1t
is astonishing the way the dirt will
accumulate if left alone for short

In 1926, Leslie married an English lady,
Miss Harriet Stone. Irving IN his sketch

of felicity" Their children were Robert
Charles, Harriet Jane, Caroline Anna,
Bradford, Mary and George Dunlop.
Caroline, Mrs Fletcher, died in 1859,

MOURNING COSTUMES.

1t 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 nuns yelling trim
med with rows of dead-black ribbon
or lustreless crepe de Chine may be
used. This, however, would not do
for a widow; though after six months
it might be worn by a woman who had
lost some near relative. These crepe
de Chine gowns trimmed with ruch-
ings 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 may
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 SO
dead a black, that they look well with
the Grape yeil-Harper's Bazaar.

fecting navigation, but there are many
others, any one Of which would entitle
him to lasting fame. HE is the great

for in giving US his compass and
sounding line he has insured safety

sentiment among the sailors.
Of late the utilization Of garbage as
fuel in central stations for the produc-
ton of light and heat has received
much consideration at his hands. An
experimental furnace is in operation in
England, and it has been found prac-
ticable and economical to generate
electric current for public lighting and
heating at Shoreditch, the scene of the
experiments.
Few men have enjoyed the fruits of
their labor in the scientific world like
Lord Kelvin. Honors have been be-
slowed upon him in greater measure
than upon any of his contemporaries,
eliminating in peerage in 1892, which
of itself was such an unusual favor as
to attract universal attention. For the
first time in the history Of the United
Kingdom peerage was bestowed upon
a subject solely in recognition OF sci
entific attainments. In this connection
it is worthy of mention that the title
Baron Kelvin, which Sir William
Thomson assumed, is another indica-
ton of his attachment for Glasgow, as
it will identify him with the Univer-
sity of Glasgow, which dominates the
hill to the west Of the city, at the foot
Of which runs the turbid stream, the
Kelvin. However, it was with a tinge
of regret that those who have followed
the course of Sir William Thomson re-
allied that the honors which history
will pay to the great scientist will be
assigned to Lord Kelvin.
In addition to governmental recog-
nition Lord Kelvin has been the recipi-
ent of many honorary degrees from
educational institutions. He is Ii. D.
of the Universities of Edinburgh,
Cambridge, Dublin, Montreal and b.
lOgna; NJ. D. Of Heidelberg; D, G. L.
Of Oxford; T. R. S., P. R. S. E.; for
eign associate of the French Academy
Of Sciences; a grand officer of the
French Legion of Honor; knight Of the
German order, Pour lie Merite, and
commander of the Belgian Order of
Leopold. In 1872 he was reelected a
fellow of st. Peters college, Cam
bridge; he was chosen president of the
Royal Society of Edinburg three times,
which is an unusual distinction; for
five years-from 1890 to 1895-he was
president of the Royal Society of Lon
don, and in 1871 he was president of
the British association.

KISSING ALL THE GIRLS.

The ancient and unique custom con-
nected with Hoch Tide have just been
observed at Hungerford. The morn
was ushered in by blasts blown from
John Of Gaunts horn. The Hoch Tide
Jury were sworn in by the town clerk
after which the constable (who is also
coroner), portreeve, bailiff and tutti-
men were elected. Two tuttimen are
elected each year, and their duties are
quite unique, as on Hochney day they
have to visit each house in the borough
and collect a coin of the realm from
the males and have the privilege OF
taking a Kiss from each femaie. These
tuttimen carry long poles, adorned
with choice flowers, tied with blue
steamers and surmounted with
oranges. The tuttimen are followed by
the school children, who all have
holiday on Hochney day. Each lady
who receives a kiss is entitled to an
orange. In this way, and in throwing
to the children, about 1000 oranges are
distributed during the day.-Phlla-
delphia Inquirer.

THE TERRA DEL FUEGANs.

Since the earliest days Of American
history there has been a halo of 70
nance thrown over the Indians of
TERRA del Fuego and Patagonia,
which has always made their life
story intensely fascinating. Early ex-
aggerated reports peopled these lands
with dangerous races Of huge giants
quite twice the size Of ordinary human
beings. Later and supposedly more
accurate, statements made the people
the most ignorant of all aborigines.
Even Darwin says Il believe in this
extreme part of South America man
exists in a lower state of improvement
than in any other part of the world.
Although the people are neither of the
huge proportions described, nor lowest
in the scale of human enlightenment,
nevertheless there is a certain amount
of truth in these early tales The peo-
pie of Patagonia and of the main island
Of TERRA del Fuego, are very tall
people. The men are six feet high,
with a perfect muscular system; the
women nearly as tall; and, dressed in
furs, both appear like giants when
compared with the average European.
The smaller tribes inhabiting the
islets are a people who are in outward
appearance the most miserable Of all
men and their implements of chase are
indeed very imperfect. But their
language is so extensive that mentally
the lowest Of the Cape Horn people
must be regarded as far above the
Australian and some of the African
tribes. Through the indefatigable
work of Mr.. Thomas Bridges, the mis-
sionary, now deceased, I have been
able to collect vocabulary Of thirty
thousand words. The mere existence
of this large number Of words be-
! speaks an intelligence far in advance

kGrian lecture on The EIectro-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 ais researches on heat, and
with Maxwell, Faraday, Henry and
Won HelmhOltz, on account of his
great work in electrical science. II is
unquestiCnably 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 investiga lions into the
nature and laws of electricity enabled
him to determine the velocity of the
passage of a current OF electricity
through long submarine cables, and
while his experiments and calculations
leading uD 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.
TIP to that period Professor Thomson
bad G1en engaged largely with abstract
science. Now, he was in a measure
GoTced into a new position. The knowl-
edge which he had acquired must be
0j'1 To practical use for the benefit of
mankind. The world required it, civil

entiffc subjects. He was 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 a 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,
important discoveries and useful in
formation.
Lord Kelvin was born in 1924, az
Belfast Ireland, where his father,
James Thomson, Ii. D., was engaged
as a lecturer in mathematics at the
Royal AcademicaI institute The fam
lily removed to Glasgow in 1882, when
DR.. Thomson was given a chair in the
university. Lord Kelvin has been
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 universi-
ties have been rejected by the disIin-
guished scientist, and, as might be i'm
agined, he is regarded with admiration
and genuine affection by his towns
men. while his @Eoar ability and &C
comp}ishmInts command thcir 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. It 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
