DEATH OF PROF. HENRY A. ROWLAND.
He Gained a Worldwide Reputation by His
LnrRe Dim ction GrnftinEs.

Large Dlffraction Graftings.
Baltimore, Md, April 16. - Prof.
Henry A. Rowland Of the Johns Hop
kins University died at his home, in this
city, at 3 O'Clock this morning. The
cause of his death 10 generally at
tiibuted to a breakdown of his system.
Although the professor had been in
i'll health for several months, it was not
until few days ago that his symptoms
became alarming.
Henry A. Rowland was born at
Honesdale, Pa, November 27tn, l64S,
and was graduated from Rensselaer, Poly
rechnic Institute in 1870 as q civil
engineer. He spent q year abroad,
studying with Helmholtz in Berlin,
and In examining physical laboratories
in Europe. In 1876, he accepted the
chair OF physics, with charge OF the
laboratory, at the Johns Hopkins Uni
veisity; and since then, he had held
that place. He was member Of the
electrical congress that met in Paris
IN 1881, and served on the jury Of the
electrical exhibition there 10 that year ;
and for his services, was made q
chevalier OF the Legion Of Honor.
A bout 10 years ago, ne gained world
wide reputation by his large diffraction
gratings, which are ruled by method
OF his own, directly on conoave mirrors.
An image of the spectrum is thus pro-
duced without the aid Of lenses. Ac-
cording to his method, as many as
10, 600 lines to the inch can be made.
The photographs of the collar spectrum
that he succeeded in making with these
gratings surpass anything else OF the
kind that has ever been doue. In 1899,
he was chosen president of the
American Physical Society; aud 10
1895 and 1896, was given the honorary
degree of Ii. D. by Yale and Prince
top Universities, respectively.
A widow and two children survive
