He Put Aside Great Wealth

IN presuming that science and
finance are so far apart, when, in
fact, they are very closely related,
since the higher mathematics are in
intimate relation with the philosophy
of finance
And then he went on to say that
he had always felt that if he had not
devoted his life to scientific research
he undoubtedly would have taken up
a financial career.
THAT statement led me to say to
Professor Henry, who, 1 could see,
was not ignorant of financial matters,
as most scientists are supposed to be-,
that I had often wondered why he
had not taken out patents upon ap-
paratus which made use Of his
scientific discoveries, especially in
the field Of electricity. I spoke to
him especially of the electric tele-
graph, saying that as he had discov-
cred the principle upon which COM
mercial telegraphy is based, I felt
sure he could have utilized that prin-
ciple to his own great profit, under
the patent, as Morse afterwards did.
Orange County observer. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1880-1918, 1911-05-18


For a few moments after I had
finished speaking, Professor Henry
looked at me almost reproachfully.
Do you think that would have been
right for a man of pure science to
do?' he at last asked gently: I have
never felt that it would be right for
me to patent, or reserve to myself in
any way, any discovery resulting
from my scientific investigations. I
have always felt that he who discov-
ers a principle which contains in it
the possibilities of great benefits to
humanity and civilization, owes a
duty to his fellow men which cannot
be met unless he gives his discovery
unreservedly to the world. I dare
say l could have been a nan of con-
siderable, possibly great wealth by
now had I felt otherwise. But every
mar Is accountable to his own con-
science, and my conscience will not
let me do as you have suggested
I'm those few words, simply and
quietly spoken" concluded Mr.. Nc
Culloch, there was revealed to me
the fact that Professor Henry's moral
character ranked with his great in
tellectual gifts"

Prot. Joseph Henry, Real Originator
of Electric Telegraph, Did Not Be-
iieve He Should Profit Finan-
cialiy by His Discoveries.

The two men of science who are
now universally credited with having
largely laid the foundation for the
present-day industrial use of electric
ity are Michael Faraday and Joseph
Henry. It has been said of Henry
that he did more than any other
American since the time Of Franklin
for the development of the science of
electricity. When he was only thirty
two years of age he sent a current Of
electricity through a mile Of copper
wire and caused an audible signal to
be sounded at the end of the wire.
While it IS true that Faraday had pre-
coded him in the discovery of mag
netic induction, yet Henry was the
first to employ magnetic attraction
and repulsion to produce motion. 1t
Is now generally accepted that Henry
discovered the principle upon which
the Morse telegraph instrument is
operated, while Professor Morse him
self invented the apparatus by means
of which ineligible signals could be
communicated for long distances by
electricity. From 1846 until his death
in 1878, Professor Henry was secre-
tary of the Smithsonian institution.
One of the intimate friends of Pro
fessor Henry during the latter part of
his life was Hugh McCulloch of In
diana, who, in 1868, became the first
comptroller of the currency and two
years later succeeded Fessenden as
secretary Of the treasury, a post that
he retained until 1869.
Soon after I went to Washington
to organize the new department of
the comptroller Of the currency" said
Mr.. McCulloch, ut was my good for
tune to meet Professor Henry, who
was then enjoying an enviable inter
national reputation, at a little club
whose membership was chiefly con-
fined to scientific men, a circumstance
that led me to say to Professor Henry
that I seemed to be out of place in a
club of that kind, for, although I had
always been interested in science as
a layman, yet my life's work had
been devoted to banking, except the
few years during which I had prac-
ticed law.

sor Henry, you make a great mistake

How, After His Third Nomination, He
Let Tammany Hall Know That
He Was Capable Of Caring
for Himself.

Grover Cleveland was living at his
summer home on the shores of Buz-
Yards Bay, widely known as Gray
Gables, in the summer of 1892. There
he received the official announcement
of his third nomination for president.
There he entertained leading Demo
Gratis who, as a whole, represented
the entire United States. His demo
cratic simplicity and his sincerity, as
we'll as a certain cordially of manner,
were never more impressively dis
played by Mr.. Cleveland than during
that summer.
He refused to receive no one He
talked with apparent freedom. Some
of the politicians feared that he was
a little. reckless in his talk, and there
prevailed a fear among some of the
Democratic leaders that, as he lacked
experience as a practical politician,
he might easily commit some blunder

George a King Who Works.

From London m many stories
showing that King George is a most
Industrious and b~usinesslike monarch.
An early riser, he is in the thick of
his correspondence and papers by 8
O'Clock in the morning. Then come
communications or conferences with
his ministers, which at the present
stage of English politics are numer-
GUS and important. He works steadily
on until luncheon, spends the after
noon in recreation, and In the evening
returns to his tasks of state, frequent
~ continuing at them until midnight.
Such is the glory of the twentieth cen
fury king. Royalty finds no time or
chance in these sober years for the
gayeties or adventures of a Francis
the First. The king has a job like any
of his subjects, and one that is far
more arduous than falls to the lot OF
most of them.
Up to Date.

Greeley's Running Mate Was Not In
toxicated at New Haven, as Was
Reported, But Poisoned by
Soft Shell Crabs.

A brigadier general of volunteers in
the Union army, a United States sena-
tor at thirty-seven, and eight years
later elected governor of Missouri,
Benjamin Gratz Brown reached the
height of his public fame when, in
1862, he became the tail of the
Greeley presidential ticket, nominated
by the Liberal Republican party.
When the presidential campaign of
that year was in full swing Governor
Brown was brought on from the west
by his party managers for a campaign
tour through New England. He was a
gifted speaker, and it was thought
that his %eloquence would have a great
effect on the younger element among
the voters. One of the places at which
he was scheduled to speak was New
Haven. Governor Brown was a gradu-
ate of Yale, class of AT, and when he
arrived in New Haven he was greatly
delighted to be again amid the scenes
OF his college days, which he had Wis
tied but once since his graduation,
and at the reception that was given
him he expressed his pleasure at the
fact that he had been asked to deliver
a speech in the town of his alma
mater.
But that speech was never deliv-
cred. In the early evening there
spread a report from the hotel where
Governor Brown was stopping that he
was Ill, and soon it was being limited
that his illness was due to the effects
OF too much cordially. 1t was a ru-
NOR that was not confined to New
Haven. 1t spread gradually all owe
the country. and during the campaign
1t was told in certain quarters that
the Liberal Republican candidate for
vice-president had been indiscreet on
his visit to New Haven-so indiscreet,
In fact. that he was able neither to de-
livor the speech he had been sched-
uled to make there, though a crowded
hall had assembled to hear him, nor
to continue elsewhere his New Eng
land tour.
That story, and the wide circula-
ton that it ultimately gained, was not
d~ispleasing to the Republican politi-
clans, yet, on the word Of the physi-
clan who was called in to attend Gov
Brown, there was not one word
of truth in it. AS soon as the rumor
that Governor Brown was i'll had
reached a newspaper man of New Ha-
ven, he sought out this physician and
to the young man the doctor said:
"The Liberal Republican ticket
came very near losing its candidate
for vice-president today. When 1
called upon him professionally at his
