LEAVES RICHES TO SCIENCE.

Inventor of NitrogIycerine Be-
 Gueaths Income to Investors.
 Alfred Bernard Nobel was a Swede who died at the age of 63, in 1896. Ee invented dynamite and made nitro Ilycerfne serviceable for industrial Eses. These achievements gave him great renown and large fortune. He died childless and unmarried. He was one of those who believed in the un- wisdom of leaving big estates to ur- deserving persons just because they happened to be relatives. So he left his fortune-e estimated at $10,O00,OO0 ito the cause of science.
 The bequest was no whimsical and Idle scheme. He displayed all his fine practical judgment and experience III drawing up the provisions of his will. Tn accordance with these provisions his fortune has been safely and profit ably invested. The income alone can be used. This Is annually divided into five equal portions.
 One goes to the man who makes the most important discovery is physi- cal science; one to the man who makes the most important discovery in chem !stry one to the man who makes the most important discovery in physiology 1T medicine; one to the man who pro- duces the most remarkable book of an idealistic nature, and the fifth goes the man who does the best work for the fraternity of nations, the SUD- pression or reduction of standing ar mics and the formation and propaga- tion of peace congresses. The benefac- tions are to be awarded regardless of for Nobel himself was cosmopolite who had lived in many ountries.-Kansas City Journal.
