THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.


LONDON Sept. 9.-The annual
meeting OF the British association be
gan at Southport today. This meet
ing is the most important event OF the
year in connection with scientific re
search in the United Kingdom. The
meetings are held in different pro.
vincial cities each year, and once or
twice the association has gone to some
city outside the United Kingdom, but
it never meets in London. The pres.
ident is Invariably man famous FOR
his scientific attachments. This year
he is Sir Norman Lockyer, one OF the
most famous scientists of Great Brit
ain. The address OF the president us
ual1y reviews the worlds advance in
scientific knowledge for the Year
Occasionally some special subject is
chosen. This is the case this year,
when Sir Norman Lockyer has chosen
for his subject the national shortcom-
ings as regards the teaching oi
science. He intends TO prove by
means of statistics of British indus
tries that the national life is generally
suffering very seriously from the neg
lect of science in education, i. e., from
want of properly equipped modern
universities, which are less numerous
and efficient than those of the United
States or Germany. Great Britain,
therefore, must submit to be out
stripped, or have state aid common.
slrate with what has been given to
other countries. Sir Norman names
one hundred million dollars as neres-
sary. He maintains that it would be
remunerative Investment, for IL
mems the difference between public
prosperity and adversely. He also
maintains that the state should endow
plan of research which would be
pioneer work, though often not direct
ly remunerative.
1t is not anticipated, though some
times there are surprises for the as
sociation, that any extraordinary
scientific discovery will be announced
at this years meeting, but the lead
ing scientists OF the United kingdom.
have prepared papers to be read be.
fore the various sections, and the
meeting promises TO beaquite up 10 the
average in interest.

ANOTHER RADIuM PHENOMENON,

Prof Curie has communicated to the
French Physical Society still another
remarkable property of radium But
/ few months ago scientific men shooa
their heads when 1t was proclaimed
that the new substance possessed the
property of maintaining temperature
higher than that OF the surrounding
atmosphere. Prof. Curle now an.
nounces the amazing fact that the
change In the rate Of heat emission OF
radium within the comparatively
short distance OF absolute zero Is ex-
actly In the opposite direction to what
might be expected In view Of the ff-t
lect OF low temperatures on ordinary
chemical action. for at the tempera-
ture of liquid hydrogen the heat ennis
sion OF radium instead OF being re-
guced, is augmented.
In simple language. the substance
which does not change Its heat at all
temperatures, from that of an ordin-
airy room to that OF liquid air. gives
out greater heat when subjected
to the greatest cold that scientists
have yet reached.
These experiments with liquid hy-
drogen have led to the curious discov-
cry that freshly prepared salt or 30
luton OF raidum has Il comparatively
feeble power OF giving OFF heat at all
temperatures, but the power steadily
increases for about month. when IL
reaches It's maximum activity, which
IL then maintains apparently indef-
lnitely. These remarkable results
have failed to throw any light upon
