His genius for experiment and" mixed mathema- tics` has descended to his son and heir, the Hon. R. J; Strutt, who ; has lately been very successful in his . work at some of the problems of radium.

The alchemists, _ Q g|.I.IL\JI.AIn Sir William Ramsay is the discov- erer. not only of argon. but of a number of other atmospheric` gases which have subsequently been de- tec d by the same methods. These he as called neon, xenon, krypton, and ps_ammon_; so that the discovery of five elements at least stands to his credit. Far more interesting and remarkable, however, is the truly epoch-making discovery by Sir Wil- liam of the evolution of the" ele ment" helium from the element" radium. 'l`he signicance of this disd covery'canno_t be over-estimated. It means the conquest of evolution ~ in the most promising` stronghold of the opposing theory. Whateverlelse might have been evolved, at least it was thought that the atoms of the `ele- ments had .upon them the stamp ol the mamfiactured article." They were "the foundations stones of the material universe," which had exa isted since the Creation, unbroken often` deluded but yet patient and worthy founders" of -the `science which Sir William Ramsay adorns, sought for the. philosopher aA stone" that should transmute lead into gold. Spencer, of course, rejected the cur- rent theorygof the origin of atoms. as he had to do if evolution.was to be proved universal, as he asserted; but it has,"been left'to`Sir' William 4 Ramsay to supply the first objective proof that Clerk-Maxwell's __ iwords, quoted. above,- can no longer be ac- cepted as in. any sense`expr.es_sive ol the facts.

Certainly no one out or an asylum will assent to ` the charge of being insane. And yet both parties readily recognize the in- sanity ot _others. .An intelligent old lady, once the head of a ladies sem- inary, wished me to discharge her from an asylum, alleging that all the patients in the hall believedhher sane. Seven women were privately asked \ their opinions as to her sanity, and all declared that she was very insane, ` while asserting their own sanity. -When informed of the result or the test the old lady. accurately described the spe- cial peculiarities of each of her ac- cusers. `So in every community the private gossip is niuchcconcerned about those who are called strange, pecul- iar." deranged,_" unbalanced, .light headed, a little off, out of gear, `.`wrong in the upper story," cranks.

'l`ho `Great shony Dagon Pagoda Cov- _ cred With Pure Gold. Rangun, the principal city of Bur- ma. -grew up around the sacred spot on which is built the great Shoay Da- gon pagoda, one of its principal won- ders. Rising to a height of 360 feet, `its size is greatly enhanced by the fact that it stands on an eminence that is itself 166 feet above the level of the city," says a writo.~.. It is covered with pure. gold trc. aase to summit. and once in every g-`aeration this gold is completely renewed by public sub- ` scription. . Yet throughout the inter- val the process of regilding goes on perpetually. Pious people who seek in i this way to express their `veneration ; and to add to their store_ of spiritual merit climb up daily with little ut- teringvpackets orgold leaf, which they fasten on some. fraction, oi. its great surface. There is no more picturesque sight oifered by it than that of a group. of these `silken worshipers outlined high against its gold in the act or contrib- uting their-small quota to its splendor. The pagoda itself has no interior.
