The Venerable Earl of Wemyss.

From the Westminster Gazette
The Earl of Wemyss, who has celebrated
his eighty-seventh birthday, is one of the
grand old men OF the house of lords. where
he has consistently upheld the extreme
individualist gospel with amount OF
courage and pertinacity worthy. as his OPP
ponents declare, of better cause. The
volunteers have also always had In him a
strong supporter. For over sixty years he
has been a legislator. having entered par
Lament when Lord Elcho as member for
East Gloucestshire in 1871.
In his long career Earl Weymss has done
many things. He was the prime mover in
the movement of 1859 which produced the
volunteer force of today; he founded tho
great Elcho Shield. which is one of the
chief events al Bisley: he married young
wife after he had passed four-score years:
and. not least, he once knocked the hat OF
the king. then Prince of Wales. over his
eyes while emphasizing an argument with
his fist in the house OF lords. Then he
holds the record of having been the only
lords AS Lord Elcho he loved fight on
when being heckled by an angry crowd OF
electors. 1t is recorded of him that once
when he was refused hearing at the hust.
ings he drew his cigarette case out, and
after calmly lighting of its contents
for himself, handed the rest to the crowd.
1t proved to be the cigarette of peace. The
venerable earl Is sometimes rather absent
minded. and not long ago astonished his
fellow legislators in the upper chamber by
addressing the occupant OF the woolsack
as MIR. Speaker"

PALMISTRY.
The Ether.

W. A. Shenstone. RS, In the Cornhif Magaxinss
OF all the theories of the ether that lately
propounded by Prof. Osborne Reynolds Is
perhaps the most startling. 1t inverts all
our previous ideas on the subject. Accord
ing to this, the youngest theory of the
ether. we must look upon the ether as the
one really substantial thing in the universe,
its density being ten thousand times greater
than that of water. while matter. which
seems so substantial. consists, so to speak
in an absence of mass, and has the charao
ter of a mere wave in the ether. On THU
newest view I'VE are all waves thu
author of the theory bursting into poetry,
exclaimed at the close Of the eighth section
of his Rede lecture. This astonishing propo-
stion, which has cost It's author no lesa
than twenty years of labor, asks US to Inn
agine that the universe, except those minor
portions which constitute matter, Is built
up, like bag Of sand, of grains of definite
shape and in size incOncevably small
that their diameters are no greater than the
seven hundred thousand miliorth part OF
the wave-length of violet light. which, In
its turn, amounts to only sixteen milliouths
of inch, and so closely packed that.
though not absolutely immoyable the four
hundred thousand millionth OF the seven
hundred thousand millionth of one sixty
thousandth part of an inch-i. e.. the four
hundred thousand mflionth part of tteit
own diameter-would represent approx
mately the mean free path through which
these particles are free to move. Prof.
Reynolds tells US that the density of this
medium, far from being almost Indefinitely
small, is nearly five hundred times as great
as that of the densest matter known TO ua
on earth and its pressure more than three
thousand times greater than that which any
material yet tried has been known to sus-
tain
To get some Idea of this conception of the
ether picture to yourself a billiard table

In delivering the opinion of Tie court
