strength of limb, imperturbable
courage, and profound good ma
ture.
; For a time he proved to be
an all-round good student; and
then began to display a remark
able ability in mathematics. Two
months before he was Is years
old he made his first contribll-
ton to science dn paper en-
titled The Description of Oval
Curves and Those. Having q
Plurality of Foci." 'r
The paper was so remarkable
that it was read for young Max
we'll by Professor Forbes before
the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
When young Maxwell left
Edinburgh Academy in 1847,
not yet Is, he was first in
mathematics and in English
and nearly first in Latin" In
November of the same year he
entered the University of Ed
inburgh, ~where he devoted
much time to mathematics, ma
tural philosophy. and logic.
In addition to experimental
research, he prepared material
for. two important papers:
THE Theory Of Rolling Curves"
and The Equilibrium Of
Elastic Solids" And he had
not yet reached. the age of
19!
On the family estate at Glen
lair, where he spent his vaca-
tions, he had his own labora-
tory. where he privately carried
on many experiments. In 1850
he entered Trinity College,
Cambridge being graduated
four years later with high
honor.

On the walls of Einstein's
study In Berlin hang the por-
traits of three Britons, whom
he holds to be supreme in
science; Newton, Faraday and
Maxwell.
Newton was a master iA the
faculty of generalizing and CO.
ordinating knowledge into the
form of physical laws; and
evolving these laws by means OF
complicated mathematical cal
culationS.
Faraday was a master in the
faculty of physical experiments
ton, evolving the operation OF
natural phenomena not by
mathematics but by handling
the actual physical materials
themselves.
Maxwell was a master in the
faculty of establishing mathc-
matical basis for physical theory,
minutely working out the
mathematical machinery which
expressed the operation of the
physical phenomena.
James Clerk Maxwell was
born in Edinburgh. November
13, 1881. It is probable that
he derived his scientific apti-
tude from his father. who, while
not a scientist by profession,
loved to dabble in scientific ex-
periments. He devoted himself
to- the task Of educating his
only son.
At the Edinburgh Academy,
which young Maxwell entered at
the age Of 10, he showed no spe-
cial promise for some years.
Reasonably friendly with the
other pupils, he always remained
somewhat aloof and withdrawn.

Once again the dance lovers of

worth trying for, and as in past
years, a large number of unique
costumes are looked for upon that
night. In fact as soon as the word
was out, many reported that they
were starting at once to prepare
their costumes, which would be a
Knockout.
Old-tyme music will be the order
of the evening and will be a source
of enjoyment to both old and
young. Lots of pep, lots of cos

the United States to China.
China Pleads for Help.
Nationalist China is pleading for
help from the powers that jointly
may be able to restore silver to a
market value of so cents. The Ma
tionalist government has a huge
army on hand, unemployed since
the collapse of the Northern revo-
luton. 1t has suggested, unof-
ficially, that if it can get a silver
loan it will employ great numbers
of these men in the construction
OF a system of highways which
will open up the country to a great
increase in foreign trade. Chinese
Nationalist policy since 1925 has
been to deal separately with each
OF the foreign powers. It wants a
silver loan from the American gov
eminent.
