CARNEGIE INSTITUTION EXPERT.
Going to France to See Experiments
With Light and Electricity.

A dispatch from Paris yesterday says: At
a meeting of the Academy of Science today
Henri Poincare announced that American
and French scientists were cooperating in
a series of experiments on the law of light
and electricity. 1t is added that the Car
negie Institute of Washington. d. c.. will
defray the expenses Of an American ex-
pert who will arrive here shortly to take
part in the experiments.
It is tacitly admitted here that the Paris
dispatch is correct and that the Carnegie
Institution has advanced money for the
conduct of light and electricity expert
ments. 1t is the policy of the Carnegie In
stitution, as explained by officials here. not
to make public the names of persons to
whom allotments Of money are made for
scientific research. That privilege is left
to the grantees il they so desire. For this
reason the name of the American expert
who is to take part in the French-American
experiment Is withheld.
