closely connected with sonh of the most
Widespread phenomena in nature, and
give the clew to their explanation"
We have thus given a.synopsis of this
very remarkable. and most timely article
OF Prof. Thomson, which like great
guide board points the way to the
physics of the future, suggesting the ex-
PLANTATION Of every hidden element or So
called force in the physics of the past,
and from the standpoint Of experiment
demonstrating that all things In the uni
verse are made by one law, the comb.
nation Of what we call matter In Its
different conditions and proportions.
This indeed is a self evident proposition
for 1t is simply the carrying out of the
fundamental principle of science the
universality of law; a principleaa we
have before had occasion to say sustained
by every known fact in the universe.
The only wonder is that science should
have been so slow to perceive the logic OF
its own teaching. We may well thank God
and take courage that we are emerging
from this dark age of science, and com.
ing upon that great and broad ocean of
Truth, where religion and science will be
exactly blended, teaching as they should
precisely the same thing, and what the
Bible and all true religion has always
taught, that all things are created by ar
infinite and personal God; that the order
and nature of their creation is precisely
the same that we see carried out in the
things made by man, who is created after
the Image of God, and therefore mus
work, if he works at all, in accordance
with the laws of an infinite Creator, who
not only has appointed the laws which
govern every substance in the universe
but has also created both those substance!
and the matter from which they arr
made.
And these great truths will assuredly
lead to better understanding of tn,
laws which control our moral ant
religious being, which also are unfoldeC
In the Bible, and show that there Is
connection between this and another life
as concise, and definitely marked out, al
are the boundaries of these various phy
steal elements which we have been con
sidering.

Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lots

report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. OF course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul.
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys

rs with an undulatory motion IN the
ether, this association Is only accidental and
there Is no necessary connection between
ray and undulatory motion; indeed Nelson
uses the term in connection with his corpus
cular theory Of light"
If there is an accidental connection be-
tween rays of light and undulatory mo-
ton In the ether, it would seem to follow
that there must be the undulations to be
so connected. Prof. Thomson may be
on the right side of the question; but 1t
is not as yet plain that he is on Mr. Bat
tells side.
The above is from the Burlington Free
Press of Dec. "a.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1901-12-27

In heading the article referred to In
Middlebury REGISTER, "Silence Gives
Consent" we did so deliberately, recog-
nizing to its fullest extent the force of
the proverb. For 1t is entirely evident
to any one who reads Mr.. Thomson's
article on cathode rays which appeared in
the September number of lIarper's Maya
zine, that Prof. Thomson has abandoned
the undulatory theory of light, and
therefore of necessity must soon abandon.
if he has noti already, the undulatory
theory of sound, and all other undula-
tory theories. For every intelligent
physicist knows that whatever the laws
may be, the same laws govern both light
and sound.
The Free Press quotes single passage
from Prof. Thomson's article. In this
passage by typographical error in the
Harper's, Mr.. Newton's, name is spelled
Nelson. In the first place this should
have been corrected by the Free Press,
to give force to the paragraph, for it was
Sir Isaac Newton and not Admiral Mel
son or any other Nelson, who formulated
the corpuscular theory of light. And
1t is we'll to notice here, that in
returning to this theory we are follow
lag Mr.. Newton, a great man, and great
physicist, instead of innumerable small
men, who have left his instruction, fully
convinced that they were "bigger thar
old Grant," and blind, leaders. of the blind
have lead the world of scientists into
ditch.
Had Mr.. Newton lived we have M
sustained his theory. Unfortunately
such men die, when incompetency il
the guise of those who do not know bu
think they do, runs away with the team
Had then Mr.. Newton lived the worlt
would have been saved in these regards
hundred years or more of lost time IL
chasing the will-o'-the- wisp of error.
In the paragraph quoted by the Free
Press from Harper's Magazine, it will b.
perceived that Prof. Thomson say
that "there is no necessary con
nection between a ray and undula
tory motion" which could only be tru
when the undulatory theory of ligh
was untrue.
1t is certainly, as we have said, en-
tirely evident from the tenor of hi
whole article, what his real opinio
is in regard to these undulatory theories
and we do not think 1t is to
strong to say that it is one of absolut
horror and disgust. 1t certainly is nc
too much to say that it is one of entir
disbelief and abandonment.

Tuesday Mornings Fire.

4, Shortly after 3 o'clock Tuesday MORN
ing the Presidents of the town were
awakened with the alarm of fire. 1t
proved to tbe the house occupied by
Frank Winch. The inmates were
awakened: by the smell of smoke and
were barely able to escape with their
lives, not having time to fully dress.
The house,wasisoon enveloped in flames.
The efforts.of the firemen were futile as
the stream of water from nearby
hydrant,was not more than fifteen feet
in length. Had good wind been blow
ing, the loss would undoubtedly been
greater. AS it was, only the house was
burned. Mr.. Winch's loss is about
81, 900 partially covered by insurance.
The house was owned by the college
corporation and was insured for 81, 400.

OUR New SYSTEM OF WATER Works

We print elsewhere a statement from
a member of the committee who have
had charge of the construction of the
new system of village water works. Ex-
cuses for failure at such time may be,
and we think are, better than silence, and
the report referred to is both interesting
and instructive. And we have no doubt
that all of our cirizens will anxiously
heed the suggestions made In the use OF
water at the present time, or as soon as
we shall again have any of this water to
use. But on the other hand there is no
possible excuse for the committee, Of any
others having oversight of the con;truc-
ton of these works, falling to have the
intakes on the mountain, that from the
spring and that from the stream, in
readiness for use, as soon as the other
parts of the construction were finished.
AS we understand it all the water thus
far procured has come from the spring,
fill the pipe. That from the stream has
not been used because arrangements
were not completed so that it could be.
1t certainly is poor time to make these
arrangements in the midst of winter, but
we understand it is being done. When
completed, that is as soon as there is
water enough to fill the pipe, we will be
better able to tell than now, what and
how many are the real difficulties in this
enterprise.
The old receipt for cooking hare was
in the.frst place to catch your hare, and
so in the use of water the first requisite
is to get the water. We hope soon 10 be
able to report that the works upon the
mountainEat the Intakes are completed
and thus full supply of water secured.
