Father of Argentine Navy. I An interesting event in connection with the recent visit of the cruiser 11 Glasgow to Bu- enos Ayres was the placing, by the crew of of that vessel, of a wreath on the grave o( Admiral Brown, the father of the Argentine Navy. A native of Ireland, William Brown went as a boy to America. In 1812 he setted in Buenos Ayres, and two years later accepted a naval command in ihe service of the Re- public, having previously served on an Eng- lish man-of-war and commanded an English merchant ship. In the war with Brazil in 1826 he gallantly attacked a force four times greater than his own, and in the civil war of 1842-5 he kept up the blockade of Montevideo in spite of an insufficient force and an order from the Eng- lish Commodore to throw up his command. v He died in 1857. His fame was perpetuated by a powerful ironclad in Argentine Navy bej-ng named the Almirante Brown.

Extract from M Science in Khaki. How the Ministers of War have put into Khaki all the great discoveries of the greatest Scientists, whose spirits haunt the Battlefields, where their life work is used for terrible ends. THE SEVEN WONDERS. 1 .1 The readers of a Scientific paper were asked as to what inventions were considered to be the "seven wonders of the modern world." From a list of numerous inventions seven had to be selected and those which received the highest number of votes were Wireless telegraphy, the telephone, the aeroptane, radium, antiseptics and antitoxins, spectrum analysis, and X-rays. Each one of these, things had its foundations in purely scientific work, and was not the result of de- liberate intention to make something of ser- vice to humanity." Necessity is not the mother of invention," says Prof. W. B. Whitney: Knowledge and experience are its parents. This is clearly seen in the case of many industrial discover- ies; high-speed cutting tools were not a ne- cessity which preceded, but an application, which followed the discovery of the Droper- tiès of tungsten-chromium-iro9 alloys; so, too, the use of titanium in arc lamps and vanadium in steel were sequels to the indus- trial preparation for these metals, and not discoveries made by sheer force of necessity." One closes this facinating and uplifting book with the feeling that one has been in the presence of some of the greatest of men work- ing in silence and with dignity to find out the great secrets of the world. And one is impressed by their humbleness of mind, by their serenity, their diligence, their simple- ness of mind" and loftiness of vision. The book is a cathedral of character, and day by day we are thoughtlessly debtors to the great men whom it enshrines. It is a book brim full and running over, and it is a book about men who, without knowing it, have turned the world upside down-because men have misused the knowledge which they re- vealed.
