Industry Aiding Science.
The debt Of industry to science has
often. and very properly. been pro-
claimed; but now the reverse is an
nounced. The National Electric Lamp
Association has established at Cleve-
land physical laboratory. which the
director, DR.. K. P. Hyde. declares has
for its object the development Of SCI
ence rather than the improvement Of
an industrial commodity. In this re:
spect 1t differs from the many labora-
tories that have in recent years been
established in connection with large
manufacturing concerns. Among the
objects of research will be the laws OF
radiation and the radiant properties
OF matter, and the effects Of light and
its attendant phenomena on the eye,
the skin, and microscopic organisms.

day morning he had come down to
breakfast as the hall clock was strlk'

each morning for the past five years.
He had acknowledged the landlady's
polite greeting with his usual curt nod,

William Morley was dead At seven
o'clock he had come alone to the hos
pital, and had told the superintendent
he was dying Three hours later the
undertaken had come and gone. When
questioned by a reporter the physician
only shook his head, and William Nor
ley himself had not uttered one word
after entering the hospital.
At six o'clock Tuesday morning a
man in Denver, Col, sat up in bed and
read a telegram. There was but one
sentence: william Morley is dead"
and no signature; but fifty minutes Ia
ter the man was flying eastward, fifty
miles an hour. At 1880 the same morn
ing a man in Austin, Texas, was
stopped by messenger boy as he was
turning in at his Office. He paused, his
desk key in his hand, and read the
short sentence william Morley is
dead" He dropped the unused key in
to his pocket and hurried out of the
building Thirty-dve minutes later he
was on a north-bound train, speeding
toward New York.
At eight o'clock Saturday night a
man was shown into the private office
of Howall & Maillard, attorneys and
counsellors at law, New York city. Mr..
