THE NOBEL PRIZES.
Nobel, Swedish civil engineer, i'll
vented dynamite and thereby accumu-
lated a vast fortune of which he left
by his will, about eight million dollars
the interest on which IS to be given in
five prizes on, his birthday every year
One prize goes to the person making
the greatest discovery i'll physics. an
other in chemistry, another i'll medicine
the fourth to literature and the fifth to
the person doing most for international
peace. For 1907 the prizes amounted
each to $4,000, for 1908 to $4,000
The prize i'll physics will include the
weather, but no one has even applied
for that prize. am looking in that di-
rection. There are similar prizes offered
in France. Governments should offei
similar prizes. Rockefeller, Carnegie
and others have not offered prizes, but
they put large amounts of money il
charge Of committees for the purpose
of aiding investigation. The cost of one
battlesllip offered in such prizes would
do more for mankind than the same
amount of money expended in any other
