DEATH OF LORD KELVIN
Twenty years ago, on the 17th,
December, 1907, William 'Thompson,
Lord Kelvin, one of the most illus-
trious of the world'e great scientists,.
,died at the age of 83.-
He
3.-Ile was born on the 2tith June
1824 at Belfast in Ireland, and his
father was James Thompson, who
was at that time a Macho:- of math-
ematics at the Royal Aeadcmical In-
sitution, but who,. eight years latter,
removed with his family to Scotland
for tine purpose of taking up a pro-
f, eeorship at Glasgow Unive,'3ity.
William Thompson reroived his tairly
'Incea t!.on from his father, but at the
stet of 10 he became a student at the
University, where he .,manned for
the next seven years, during which
period he gained int im a:01e prizes,
beating competitors twice his ase ]n,
every examination for which he en-
tered.
At the to of 17 he entaired Cam-
bridge University, where he repeated:
his Glasgow triumphs, and four years
later he secureal'his degree as second
wrangler ".end was elected a Fellow of •
Peterhouse College, after which he
spent a year in Paris studying ex-
p.,riment:l science, which wits not
possible at that time in Groat Britain.
He was only 22 years of ago when
lie was offered, and accepted, the
chair of Naau'al Philosophy at Gies- j
gow University, an appointment that
he held for the next 53 t ':ns.
He speedily became recognized as
;he greatest physicist of the day, air:,
for half 1 century. he w'a's a source
of inspiration to the sciontifi.r world,
while his suggestions were respon-
sible for a considerable amount of
:he advanced research work perfor-
med by,.nuncrous other leading scien-
tists. His teaching at Glasgow op-
ened a new scientific era, and for the
ONTARIO'S FINANCES
That Ontario should stave a favor-
able casht balance. of $287,990 for the
current year after a period of annu-
al deficits, some of which ran into
large figures, is abuniant cause for
gratification on the part of all citi-
zens regardless of their political af-
9'iliations, The faun Bial statement
just submitted by Provincial Treas-
urer Monteith is, generally speaking,
etninently satisfactory, incl seems to
justify the confidence that the finan-
cial career has been turned and that
credit balances may be looked for
in future. The situation this year -is
in reality better than would appear
'at first glance, since the surplus of
$288,000 has been sdcured after pro-
viding the first annual payment on
the debt retirement pian introduced!
by Hon. W, H. Price, amounting to
$3,007,000, ant which, if continued,
will wipe out the capital debt of the
Province in '40 years. This was a
courageous venture of the most ad-
vanced 'type of state financing and
the Fergueon Government is entitled
to great credit for its introduciol.
The treasurer's statements reveals
a nowt buoyant state of Onaltio's fi-
nances for the past yam' and reflects
the general prosperous condition of
the country. That a deficit has been
converted into a surplus is due to a
great increase in the total revenue
rather than to ,a reduction in ex-
penditure, *Tho increase in Totrenue
for 1027 over that of last year was
$5,455,005, while the increase in ex-
penditure for the same period was
$4,355,364, bnt this latter includes
the payments en the debt retirentett
plan which started this year, The
steady advance each year in the to,
till expenditure is di:mulcting, but it
is to be presumed .that it would not
have 'been so large this year bail the
purpose of his own personal research
work he established the first work-
ing; Laboratory of physical science
ever set up in a British University.
His most important work wa: in
connection with thermodycamica.
the branch of selene„ wt irh deals
with the relations betwreep heat and
work' but to the world he is beet
known for his truly remarkable
achievements in the eleett^cal field,
In 1854 he turned his attention to
he possibilities of laying a trans-At-
lantie submarine telegraph cable, and
it was mainly owing to his genius
that the difficulties surroimliiog the
task were overcome and telegraphic
communication was finally establish-
ed between Great Britain and Ale
erica in 1866. The many delays in
the accomplishment of the work were
mostly caused by the. failure of the
engineer: in charge to follow the
suggestions which Thompson made,
and it was not until he ways placed
in supreme control of the operations
that success was achieved.
He was the 'inventor of n number
of invaluable contrivances which
were universally adopted in naviga-
tion, including an improved, mariner.
compass, a deep sea sounding mach-
ine and a title analyser and predictor,
and he also publisbese over :300 or-
iginal papers bearing upon every
branch of physical science.
A knighthood was conferred upon
Mita in 1868 in recognition. of his
work in connection with the Atlantic
cable, and he was raised to the pec -
age in 18112, while, among the, numer-
ous other honors bestowed upon
him, both at home nnli :114'0 11(1. was
the presidency of the Royal Society
and the Chancellorship or Glasgow
University, Ile was busied in West-
minster Abbey, where ho rest': by the.
side of Sir Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin and other great scientists,
government not known that the rev-
enues were ample. That seems• to be
the history of public finance. in this
country, The 'higher the ;'avenue, the
higher is the expenditure, the burden
of taxation continuing tike: the little
brook. It is gratifying, however, to
find Ontario's finances being plac-
ed on a sound business bus]:,, but
citizens will hope that further in-
creases in revenue will tend toward:
reduction of taxaton of new chan-
nels of expenditure.
The large increase in revenue this
year is due, 'principally, to the pro-
fits from the sale of liquor in the
Province., the winding -up of the 0.
T.A. and five months' operation of
Government Control, The net rev-
lenue from the latter for this period
was $3,300,000 so it is a fair a,su'lnp-
tion that a year's profit will proba-
bly mean for Ontario approximately
$7,000,000, Our American cousins
undoubtedly contributed a generous
percentage of this business and
there is no evidence of a diminution
of 'the revenue from: this source at
present, on the horizon. With a fur-
ther expansion of the provincial
ievenue in sight, stops should now
be taken to lessen the lord of tax-
ation. As long ;the balance can be
kept on the right side of the ledger
and !ample sinking fund provided
out of current revenue, nothing is to
be gained by piling up a big surppltis.
It is bound to lead to eatravagartco.
Better to reduce taxes. itowa gene his
year's statement is a spread"id one.
It is to be hoped it is but the, pre-
cursor of hotter times in Ontario fi-
nance,

Tho mean annual temperature of
the British Ivies is 50 degrees.

erican peayile is 'over $14,000,000,-

THE CRIME CATCHER
Oshawa, Ont., Dec. 13.-- Thele: is
a certain ear in Ontario which has
become an object of dread to male-
factors. Time after time, who it
was thought safely nut of the way,
it has swooped down from nowhere
to nip a crime ko the bud or to carry
wrongdoers off .o the nr'a"est jail.
Little wonder it is that the ear, an
Oakland Si; has been called on to
perform some surprising stunts, for
it is owned by that ever -active force
the Provincial polite.
One of the most recent episodes
in its remarkable. Career has been
the now -famous "Berton Case."
The long penitentiary terms meted
out to formerly respected member;
of that community, who were con -
meted in as series of cattle thefts
and outrages, clocd a case which 3-
]astrated the manner in which mod-
ern motor -car transport enables the
pollee to accomplish. midnight dashes
and car'r'y their inves.igations far at -
field.
On this ease alone the police' Oak -

eneenntc'i', and which rts'ilted in
about a intndred c'ln:-fees 1i en:r• ;all,
kept the police Oeklnntl t•'avelling
through the night like sone ghost
ear. Arrests w'er'e male all over the
district, and their investigations led
the police at timers very fat- afield.
Early in the evens'„ for example,
ple,
they might be looking for a cache of
booty hidden in sone dreary swamp.
By morning they would be is linndr&`d
Miles away; perhaps returning to the
county jail at Barrie after another
arrest.
Practically the whole -5,800 Td 5,400 m" s was
driven over country roads, many of
'them little more than rutted trail;:
usually as fast as the car worsted go.
Newspapermen who 'attempted, to
follow it had the ride of their lives,•
So many prisoners did this. car bring
to the county jail that the jail be-
came taxed to capacity and an in,
crease in the staff was necessary.
The Beaton case, however, 'has
been scarcely more than an incident
in the life of this sturdy police car.
A 1020 Oakland Six Coach, it came
into the possess -on of the Provincial
authorities in fashion as stormy as
its subsequent career, 'Tt wan taken
over after a serious motor smash
nigh resulted in one man's death.
The car itself, however, was easily
repaired and 0 year later is giving
excellent service under its daily
tests of incluraneo and speed.
