TRlUMPHS In PHYSICS
Sun TO DO WORLD'S WORK
HHEN COAL CITES OUT.
Sir j. j. Thomson Thinks Roentgen
Rays the Most Important Dis
cOJery of the Last Decade.

Winnipeg Aug 25.-Six hundred delegates are
here from the United Kingdom. the United
States and Canada attending the seventy-ninth
annual convention Of the British Association for
the Advancement Of Science. The first meeting
was called to order at noon to-day by Sir John
Thomson. who followed the precedent of former
presidents in reviewing in his annual address the
recent developments in physics. The period
which had elapsed since the organization last
met in Canada in 1897, he said. had been one of
almost unparalleled activity in many branches
of physics
First in Importance among its discoveries he
cIassed the Rontsen rays. 1T is not. however
to the power of probing dark places important
though this is, he continued. that the in
fuence of Rontgen rays on the progress of sci
ence has mainly been due: il is rather because
these rays make gases. and. indeed solids and
liquids through which they pass conductors OF
electricity.
We have already made considerable prog
ress' said Sir Joseph. "in the task Of discover
ing what the structure of electricity is We
nave known for some time that OF one kind of
eIectriclty-the negatve-and a very interesting
one 1t is We know that negative electricity Is
made up of units all of which are of the same
Kind and that these units can be obtained from
all substances He stated his belief that this
latter fact was true also of positive electricity.
The speaker said he had not the slightest doubt
that engineers would ultimately succeed in util-
izing the heat of the sun directly for power "and
when coal is exhausted and our water power in
adequate" he declared. lit may be that this IS
the source from which shall derive the en-
ergy necessary for the worlds work"
lie pointed out that the discovery OF radiun,
has entirely altered the aspect OF one of the most
interesting geological problems-that of the age
of the earth Scientists. he said, had been forced
To abandon Lord Kelvin's estimate based on the
theory that the earth's crust is cooling at a rni-
form rate due = the exhaustion of interior heat
that the age of the planet Is less than one hum
dred million years. 10 has furnished another
method. however. by which IL Is possible to de-
termine the age of rock by measuring the
amount of helum gas it gives off during a GER
tain period.
THE new discoveries made i'm physics in the
last few years" Sir Joseph concluded "and the
ideas and potentialities suggested by them have
had an effect upon the workers in that subject
akin to that produced in literature by the Re-
naissance. II has quite dispeIled the pessimistic
feeling not uncommon at that time (twentv
years ago). that all the interesting things had
been discovered. and all that was left was IN
alter decimal or two i'm the physical constant"

Sends ont Report of Shooting of
4. G. Vanderbilt.

Supposedly "a joke some one called up the
ccroners' office early this morning and said AL
fred g. Vanderbilt had been shot at the Grand
Union Hotel and taken TO Bellevue Hospital
The coroners' secretary was hurried TO Bellevue
and there learned that there was no truth in
the report.
Half an hour later the coroners' office was
again called up and a man. who said he was
Alfred c. Vanderbilt and that he was at the
New York club. wanted 10 know If the Of
hcer had heard the report about MIR. Vanderbilt
Inquiry at the New York Club brought out that
MIR. Vanderbilt was not a member of the club
had not been there and that no one had teIe-
phoned from it's rooms TO the coroners' office
Still later il was learned that Mr. Vanderbilt
was at his rooms at the Plaza and had been
there all the evening
The fake apparently spread through the the
atre and restaurant district rapidly for three
cabs and an automobile called at Bellevue 20
inquire about Mr. Vanderbilt. Those In the au-
tomObile-three women and two men-were not
readily satisfied. They insisted on looking at
the dressing book" where record Is made of
persons who go to the hospital to have injuries
attended and then leave the institution They
didn't find the name Vanderbilt there and they
went away. Then appeared two hanson cabs
each containing a and woman. and they
made the same inquiries and received the same
answer.
