He has been so long under fire for his con duct in the Kongo that be is used to U and apparently does not mind It Agassis. Coming three months after the Long fallow centenary, the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Jean Louis Agassi 7., America's great scientist (May 28), recalls a career resembling In many details that of America's re nowned poet. Agassis, like Longfel low, found a great opportunity await ing him in this virgin western world when be entered the field about the middle of the nineteenth century. But this is not intimating that be was born to greatness or that greatness was thrust upon him. Such was not the case with Agassis, neither with Long fellow. America had uo literature of Importance when Longfellow began to write, especially no poetic literature. American readers were sated with Scott, Byron and Moore. The few na tive balladists had no strong grasp of the art of enduring poetry. A new singer was welcome, and Longfellow bit the demand of the hour with his "Evangeline" la 1847. The fame It gave him in connection with his chair nt Harvard made him easily the big gest man, of letters in America. Just at this time Agassis reached America on a scientific mission for the king of Prussia »-hI was enthusiastic ally received by a group of young stu dents of science gathered at Cam bridge. Being speedily released from his royal mission, he took the chair of zoology aud geology at Harvard and as America's first naturalist speedily became the highest scientific authority of the country. He was the father of the glacial theory, held firmly to the doctrine of creation, and during the long years of debate over evolution he maintained a bitter hostility to Dar winism. In his uncompromising or thodoxy he was again like Longfellow, the Puritan preacher in verse. A nearby view of Aeassiz, written by Edwin P. Whipple, the author, shows how he impressed his generation at the height of his career. Mr. Whip pie wrote: He 13 not merely a scientific thinker. He is a scientific force, ar.d no small portion of the Influence he exerts is due to the energy, intensity and geniality which distinguish the nature of the man. In personal intercourse he inspires ns well as informs, communicates not only knowl «dge, but the love of knowledge, and makes for the time everything appear of small account in comparison with tha< subject which lias possession of his soul. To heat him speak on Ids favorite themes is to become inflamed with his enthusl asm. People follow him, work for him, contribute money for his objects, not only from love inspired by his good fellowship, but from the compulsion exercised by his force. Divorced from his geniality, his energy would be barren of practical ef fects. The good will he Inspires in others quickens their active facilities as well as yieir benevolent feelings. They feel that, magnetized by the man. they must do something for the science impersonated by the man. At his genial Instigation la borers delve and dive, students toil for specimens. merchants open their purses, legislatures pass appropriation bills. Thus was the living Agassiz herald ed. The sketch is in nowise over drawn, and it is within bounds to add that it wag mainly because of his so cial qualities that Agassis wielded a wider personal influence over a wider variety of persons thau any other sci entific man of Lis time. The morning after his death, Dec. 15, IHT.i. the New York Tribune closed an editorial eulo gy in the<e words: There is none to fill his place. A gre3t light has gone out In the halls ol sclenca and the remaining torches burning but dimly. But th<Mrork that he has accom plished remains, and tL" vast accessions to science which are due to his efforts' will be tli* most enduring of monument*. Professor Agassi/, held that the im portant thing in scientific investigation is its moral aad spiritual value as op. posed to the material side. Urged to turn his talents to mercantile uses, he exclaimed. "I have no time to make money." What l» the use of building monster battleship*, worth $2,000,000 apiece, when they can be blown all to bits by a man operating miles away with an instrument no bigger than a hand cam era i lids is what a French scientist claims can be accomplished through manipulation of the wireless currents found everywhere. The explosion which recently blew up the French bat tleship Jena at Toulon was due, to stray electrical currents coming in con tact r.ith ponder, this genius confi dently' asserts, and offers to prove that this was possible by a scries of long distance experiments. The Japs should sit up and take notice. There are heroes of science as well I as of war.
