Eccentric Definition.
One OF the late Lord Kelvin's stu.
dents at the University OF Glasgow
writes of some OF the old scientists
peculiarities; ITO those who attended
the natural philosophy class at Glas-
Cow university Lord Kelvin, or rather,

reverent love Of the genial old man

memory Of great man who gave ar
tlculate shape to the thoughts that
wander through eternity His appeal
to our humorous faculties was due
partly to some personal peculiarities,
partly to the sublimely unconscious
use Of very familiar objects and ex-
tremely colloquial phrases to illustrate
his great thoughts on great things
Never blessed with powers Of clear
enunciation, he had way Of wrestlin;
with certain words and giving them 4
prolonged rolling intonation that added
point to those unlntentionally humor.
ous observations which he was ever
making and for which, thoughtless yet
not wholly unlovable crew that we
were, we were ever looking, Let me
cite some examples, Lecturing on the
nature Of gas one day. Lord Kelvin |
thus delivered himself: Imagine a

Incredible velocity In one direction and
q thousand million students rushing /
with the same velocity In the opposite |
direction and meeting. That Is gas

and surrounded by scientific instru-
ments, slowly squeezing from giant

win understand why have said that
Lord Kelvin often made too strong
appeal to our sense of the humorous.
For himself he was sublimely uncon-
scious of the humorous picture which
he presented He was too intent upon
his scientific triumph for the laughter
-and it was laughter that literally
held both its sides--to reach his ears.
Lord Kelvin was once in his usual
inconsequent way rambling
along and letting his great mind slow /
~ unfold its great thoughts. One Of /
the many subjects on which he touch
ed was the transmission Of light from
distant worlds. Here he said, I have
