Lord KeIvin's Genius.

The modern theory of electricity, de-
veioped so brilliantly by Clerk Max
WE'LL was begun by him (Lord Kelvin).
The science of thermodynamics owes
much to him; the theoretical laws of
thermo- electricity were wholly worked
out by him; and to him long ago is
due the theory of those electric oscilla-
tions which were elaborated practical
ly by Hertz, and have recently been
exciting some popular interest as af-
fording a method of wireless teleg-
raphy.
In the higher regions of optics also
he has worked much, and in his Balti-
more lectures and elsewhere has
striven to unveil the mystery of the
connection between ether and matter,
as revealed in the facts of radiation,
fiuoreseence, phosphorescence, slelective
absorption and dispersion. The defini-
ton and experimental determination of
the absolute zero of temperature are
both due to him The vortex theory
of matter constitutes one of his most
brilliant but incompletely worked out
speculations. The kinetic theory of its
elasticity and rigidity is a definite con-
tribution to that view of the physical
universe, which seeks to resolve the
whole of merely material existence into
the two fundamental el4tities-ether and
motion. Let any one ask what is the
size of an atom, and he is referred to
Lord Kelvin.
Let him ask what is the age of the
earth, and if he mean anything definite
by this question-if he mean, for in
stance What time has elapsed since
the earth was a molten mass begin
ming to cool-it is again to Lord Kel-
vim that he must go. And then the
tides; all the higher mathematical!
work on the tides, with their various
causes and perturbations, is based on
kelvin's pioneering work, and to him
all writer's on this abstruse subject look
up and defer as their master.
Happy in the circumstances of his
education, pertinacious in his unweary-
ing industry, and undistracted by other
interests from a constant devotion to
definite dynamical science, marrow per-
haps in some of its aspects, but all the
more intense for that, he stands before
us now a monument of human power
and influence one of the benefactors of
the human species, one who has been
happily preserved with hardly dimin-
ished energy for nearly sixty years of
peaceful epoch-making work, one on
whom posterity will heap high honors,
and will regard with feelings of envy
US of the present generation who are
still Illuminated by his living presence.

pool Post.

HIS HIGH AMBITION.
The Presidency Had No Attraction
for James X. Polk Garxin.


The pinkest-cheeked and prettiest girl
In the Pine Mounta n School was Mandy
Martin, and the biggest and awkward
est boy was James K. Polk Garvin.
Jlm, as he was popularity known, was
II years old, and came of a somewhat
more ambitious family than were the
families OF most of his schoolmates, as
his rather was Constable, and had at
one. tune been Assessor and Road Su-
perlntendent. For some reason the
boy had fallen into the sulks, and for a
month the teacher had been able to do
SO little with him that, as last resort,
she mad sent him down to the lumber
company's store for me to talk to him.
wen, James, l said, in my kindli-
est manner. after giving him chew of
nne-cut TOBACCO, Which he greatly ad-
mHed I am sorry to see a boy Of
your ability acting as you have been
dolf lately, NJ g Getting your studies and
proving a burden to your teacher in
stead OF help. You've got the MAX
ing of good man in, you, and some
day you may be Constable, as your
father is.'
Il don't wanter be no Constable" he
answered, keeping his eyes ON a knot
jab his toe into.
| was rather glad to find he was
more ambitious, and went at him again,
hopefully.
Possibly you may be Sheriff, who
knows?" I suggested.
Il don't wanter be no Sheriff. neith-
err
mo? We'll, there's no reason, if you
Will study hard and be a good boy, why
you shouldn't be the County Judge
some day"
I don't wanter be no Judge" he
sald, as IL a Judgeship We're a very
common thing
who knows, James, I went on en-
courag1ngly, but that some day you
Wall De our Congressman and go to
Washington"
Il don't wanter be no Congressman,
neither
THAT isn't your only chance, my
boy l continued thinking he was
even more ambitious than I had sus-
pected; you may be Governor Of the
State?"
I don't wanter be no Gov'ner" he
said, quite as sulky as ever.
There weren't many more rises that
SOul0 OiCl, Jul cOuCluQeQ TO try the
best I had
Then look to- the Presidency. James"
ventured. Men have become Presi-
dents who have had no better start than
you have. You may be President, but
you win have to study and do better
than you are doing now"
II don't wanter be no President" he
replied even more doggedly than be-
fore, If that were possible
l was at the end Of my string and be-
gan to think that possibly we had an
embryo Napoleon in our midst
Well" I said, somewhat annoyed
and perplexed, .'if you don't want to be
President, what do you want?''
He jabbed his toe at the knot hole
more desperately than ever and hung
his head lower.
II" he hesitated, ST wanter be
Mandy Martins best feller, er I don't
wanter be nothin'''
That put the case out of my jurisdic-
ton and I sent James back to the
teacher and made my report later
