WORLDS MASTER SCIENTIST

Lord Kelvin, who died recently at his London
home, has been regarded as the worlds most dis
tinguished scientist for 40 years. Although a
master in many departments of physics and chem.
istry, his successes in teegraphy, particularly ma.
rine cable telegraphy probably have brought
him the greatest renown.
Lord Kevins name forever will be linked
with the laying of the Atlantic cables, not only
the original cable, but several others which were
sunk during the ten fifteen years following
the initial experiment. When the problem of ocean
telegraphy was first presented to the world there
were few scientists who looked upon it as solv-
able. Most of them, indeed, scoffed at the idea
and said it was visionary. Lord Kelvin was then
a young man. He was at that time plain William

THE STORY.

1T WAS during the siege Of Samaria
i by the mighty Ben-Hadad, king of
Syria. For long. long months the city
had been shut within its strong walls
and the famine was pressing sore
upon the people. The scant supply of
provisions grew less and less and
finally those who had not gold and
silver to buy at exorbitant prices
were unable longer to obtain food.
so that many died.
Awful was the suffering Of the peo-
pie. and dark and terrible were the
deeds which the people crazed by hun
ger were led to commit. 1t was no
uncommon thing to hear OF the eating
OF human flesh, the stronger prevail
ing over the weak and taking life
that the life OF the other might be
sustained. Such was the condition
In the city OF Syria. where the king
OF Israel dwelt
And without the walls CT the city
were four lepers suffering from the
scarcity Of food, but missing the aw.
full sights and sounds which those
within the walls had to endure. Now
II had been that during the early
months Of the siege the friends of
these lepTous outcasts remembered
them and cast food down to them
from the walls. These food supplies
which they had carefully stored and
used as sparingly az possible were
finally exhausted. and then they realized
as never before that they we're face
to face with death. They knew they
could not look for further help from
their brethren I'm the city Gf Samaria
and they understood equally well that
the enemy encamped all around the
city would not listen to their cry for
bread.
