THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. rrp, aprit. 10. 1891. SP. TAN SCIENCE AND INVENTION. Topics of Great Interest Discussed at Last Night's Meeting. ESS BY PROP. LANGLEY—rROF. TROW- BRIDGE ON TECHNOLOGICAL sctoors—PROF. URSTON AND THE STEAM ENGINE—ADDRESSES BY DE. BRACKETT AND PROF. CLARKE. There was not a large audience in attendance at the fourth public meeting of the congress Yesterday evening, indeed, as a matter of fact there were a great many seats unoccupied in Lincoln Music Hall when Prof. S. P. Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, was introduced as the presiding oflicer for te occa- sion. Aripple of applause followed the an- nouncement and then Prof. Langley went into temporary retirement while the orchestra dis- posed of a somewhat belated overture. When that was a thing of the past the secretary once more stepped to the front and voicelessly com- manded silence. PROF. LANGLEY'S ADDRI=S. ‘The secretary called attention to the fact | that the Smithsonian Institution and the Na- | tional Museum had both inherited much of the | accumulation of the patent office, and then went on to describe the growth of the great collection, which was a most interesting his- | tory of invention and discovery. Man, as a tool-nsing animal, must at some time have in- vented his first implement, and the professor in discussing that certainty asked attention to the fact that tens of thousands of years elapsed between the time when rough-chipped stone tools came into use and the period when man cuscovered that by rubbing two stones together be could produce a superficial polich. With quickening inventive progress, bat still occu- thousands of years, man discovered Lronze and adapted it to its uses. From the the statement was flatly made that althongh some other rifles might snrpess it in points, none of them were its all-round superior. The day of the single breech-loader, however, was gone andthe magazine gun wonid inev: tably succeed it. The concluding affirmation Was to the effect that in afew years the arm: nt of the army and navy of the United States would be more than equal to that of any other armament in the world. an announcement which was greeted with applause. PROF. CLARKE'S ADDRESS. Last on the program was the paper on “The Relations of Abstract Scientific Research to Practical Invention, with Special Reference to Chemistry and Physics.” This was by Prof. F. W. Clarke. 8. B., chief chemist of the United States geological survey. A bundred years ago, in 1791, Prof. Clarke said, Calviri published his book on animal clceiricity, and at nearly the same time the Royal So awarded the Copley medal to yi Volta. Between these events and the founda- tion of our patent offic there was then no ob- vious relation, but the science grown from | these germs is now one of its chief objects of activity. At the time were made Gal- work had no practical significance, and many other illus- trations were cited by the speaker to show that applica science > has ite rocts in researches of a purely abstract nature. Wo can have no applied Ww. ctarke. science uniess we have the science to appiy, and so it happens ; be nations which encourage scicutitic in- | ‘ons require thereby industrial su- y. ‘The agencies which develop re- ch are individual enterprise, schools and ivervities, scientific societies’ and govern- ment ese the university is the chief, and in ity laboratories nine-tenths ientifie discoveries are made. A true university is a producer as wells 2 dis- tributor of knowledge, and by recognizing fact Germany has become the leader of jern science. A chemist who has done no original work ean have no prominent position in Germany. The speaker urged that training in pure research be more cultivaied than hith- erto in American schools, where now the so-called “practical view" — prevails. The student ‘should learn how to discover: how to solve unsolved problems; for that is the mainspring of modern industrial growth. Of government aid to science the speaker said little except to show that the rela- tion was natural one and that in receiving help from science the state should render help inreturr. He then went on to speak of the bronze age to the iron age was a span of cen- taries and not thousands of years and this | showed that the quality of the inventor's mind | was quickening. If that historical philosophy meant anything the world might look forward to its entrance into another age—aluminum, or whatever else it may be—during the next de- eade. One hundred years ago that which is now the capital of the nation was a wilderness, | but its growth into the city of today was no | more wonderful than the growth of the ventive mi One hundred years ago facili- ties for transportation or communication were slow and un At that time the Presi- dent of the United States or the most powerful European monarch had to employ the methods of commuaication common to the Scriptural patriarchs. it might be that the more modern | horse was a trifle the swifter, but that was ali | that had been gained in many thousands of years. Prof. Langley said he had counted among his friends a man who competed with Stephenson in the first railway locomotive con- test, and he now counted among his friends the inventor of the telephone, Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, who was still’a young man. It was by such measurements as these that the public could estimats the increasing speed of inventive endeavor. PROF. WM. P. TROWEEIDGE. Applanse greeted the professor's remarks, and when that had ceased Secretary Langley introduced Prof. William P. Trowbridge, Ph. D., LL.D., professor of engineering, school of Columbia College, New York. Prof. ‘Trowbridge talked of the effect of technologi- cal schools upon the progress of invention and he discussed the subject in # pleasing mazner. Commencing with the Luna Society of Birm- ingham, be traced the course of scientific the- oriesand the necessary growth of scientific m. There was a vast difference be:ween ical conception and its practical execu- tion, and the theoretical minds needed practical training before the truly inventive faculty was in. proper working order. Technological schools had resulted ins scientific press’ and through these publications ideas were disseminated and ventilated in the most thor- ough manner. In those sckools were taught many essential things, which the speaker enumerated, avd ke bid especial stress upon the fact that legal tr: was not the least of the studies in the curriculum. He was of the opinion that inventors were apt to suffer if they did not know their legul rights. The spreading abroad of technical and semi-teenni- cal information among the people was a good work, because there were miany inventive projects that lacked practical utility. With an Increasing public knowledge would come a de- crease in the amount of money wasted in fool- ish investments. The activity m the field of invention today was the professor's closing theme. Daring Prof. Trowbridge’s address the dis- eng ged orchestra, which had retired beneath 4 isome attention. In the ob- heir retreat the musicians forgot to the scientific fact that wood is a cor ductor of sound. The somewhat vociferous S¥tanastics came to an end when a mes- «from the upper region conveyed to them @ request for the formation of a conver- satioual vacuum, SHE INVENTION OF THE STEAM ENGIYE. ‘The next speaker was Prof. Robert H. Thurs- tou, A. M., LL. D., Doe. Eng., director and Professor of mecbanical engineering in Sibley College, Cornell Uni- versity. “The Inven- tion of the Steam En- gine” was his subject, and it was most ably | treated. In a popular | manner he illustrated | the law of accelerated | ity, using the fail- | ing stone and the ava- Luiche as examples. Be- ginning with the cond tion of m chanical af- fairs 2,000 years ago, when the steam engine of Hero of Alexandria was a toy. It was no} BoST. H. THUESTOS. nore until the eight- eenth century. Speaking of those whose names are closely associtted with the vention of the steam ergine Prof. Thurston said that Watt was not the greatest among them. New- comen was the great man—the greatest | in the history of applied «1 and Newcomen not excepted. ‘y warm eulogy was pronounced on Newcomen, and the | statement was very positively made that to | him, if to any one, must be given credit for the | existence of the modern steam engine. W however, improved the inveation. and appli: it to ite many practical uses. The success of Watt end Bo was unanswerable testimony to the soundness of the public poliey which in- sures to the inventor the creations of the in- ventor’s brain. [Applause.} The steam engine bad been so im that now one-half « of fuel would transport one ton of fre * mile of ocean. One man with th | steam can do what would have kept 250 men busy at the beginning of the century. The reading of the paper was frequently and loudly applauded. PROF. BRACKETt's PAPER. A selection by the orchestra preceded the Yeading of « paper by Prof. Cyrus F. Brackett, M.D., LL. D.. Henry professor of physics, Princeton College. The title of the contribution was “The Estect of In- vention Upon the Pro- gress of Electrical Sci- ence.” Init the professor made plain the growth of electrical invention, beginning with the labors of Dr. Gilbert, who began to look for elcctrical facts some tune prior to 1600. For F two hundred years all investigation was con- fined to what was called static electricity. Then came the volisic bat- tery and the magnetiz~ ing helix—the one giv- ing continuous current, the other making possible its application under a great variety of circumstances. MAJ. DUTTON'S PAPER. Maj. Clarence , E. Dutton, ordnance depart- ment, U.S.A., was unavoidably absent, so his paper on “The Influence of Invention Upon the Implements and Munitions of Modern War- fare” was read by Capt. Birney. The improvo- ments in all kinds of firearms were briefly CYRUS ¥.

Co- operation is necessary, and along lines where the inventors and mannfacturera can help. ‘There should be established laboratories for rescarch in which the problems too large for individual effort could be properly handied and important physical coustants determined. Such constants are of fundamental importance to pare and applied science alike, and their meas- | urement should not be kept to personal con- Yenience. Some of the wealth reaped by the inventor from applications of science might well go back to its source as secd. The re- search laboratory, in which the workers need not be overloaded with other duties, is the great desideratur for chemistry and physics today eae ‘The reading of the paper was samewhat al breviated by Prot. Clarke because of the late- ness of the hour. It was 10:30 when the audi- ence dispersed. TWO GREAT TorICs. Subjects Discussed by Edward Atkinson and Octave Chanute. At yesterday afternoon's session a paper by Dr. Edward Atkinson on “Invention in its | (287,810 mi acteristics of the improvements which have oc- curred in methods of transportation within a century is the fact that they have chiefty bene- fited the mass of the people, so that the man in moderate circumstances now travels as fast and as cheap as the wealthy, and that enor- mous economies have been accomplished in the transportation of freight and in the exchang of commodities. All this, clearly, has been entirely the effect of invention. Improvement has followed upon improvement and invention has been more ac- tive and successful than at any period in the world’s history. ‘The paper ther steps through which invention bas produce the modern steamship and railroad. Statistics were given to show that there is the present time 383,425 miles of railroad in the world operated by 112,290 locomotives, with- out including street lines, in cities about mines or around varions industrial enterprises. Of these 187,425 miles, or nearly one-half, are in North America, and the latter, if en end to end. would reech around the world seven and a half times without counting the double, triple or quadruple tracks or sidings.

It is cstimat that there are 112, 200 locomotives,and as a fair average will give them abou! 500 horse power each they are seen to be equivalent to no less” than 56,145,000 _ horses. “We have all beer. following with deep in- terest,” said the paper, “the various journeys of Mr Stanley across the continent of Africa. Each of them ozcupied nearly thiee years of | passed. in review the various could have been Jone by railroad in three or | tour days may cause us to realize the economy | of work and of time which has been bronght into the world by the effects of invention on the railroad.” ; THE FUTURE. The paper referred to Zexperiments which looked hopefully to obtaining speeds of 30 to 40 miles per hour from ocean steamers and of | from 120 to 150 miles on railroads.

THE BOARD OF TRADE BANQUET. Distinguished People Who Will Sit Down at the Arlington Tonight, By no means the least figure of the cen- tennial celebration now going on will be the banquet to bo given by the board of trade this evening. A good deal of expe- rienced effort has been put forth to make the occasion thoroughly successful and the in- dications all point toa brilliant affair. Presi- dent M. M. Parker of the board of trade will be the ruling spirit, and within the sound of his voice will be a remarkable assemblage of men. It is more than probable that President Harrison will be present and it is certain, humanly speaking, that Secretary Blaine, Sec retary Foster, Secretary Noble, Aticrney Gen- eral Miller and Postmaster General “Wana- maker will not only eat of the dinner, but will also make appropriate speeches Others who are down ou the oratorical program are Prof. Alexender Graham Beil, Gardiner Hubbard, Justice Harlan and Theodore W. Noyes. | The number of those who will enjoy the fe will approximate closely to 300, the full ca-| pacity of the Arlington dining ‘reom, and re- grets are being very generally expressed by members of the board of trade that a larger number of tickets than have been issued could not have been distributed among those from whose midst the guests are selected. ‘The board threw the task of selection upon the | shoulders of the patent centennial authorities, | and the result was the nomination of the vari- ous committees as being the true representa- tives of the inventors. ‘Lo entertain one-fourth | of the inventors in the city at a single banquet would be utterly impossible, however much the board might desire to do it. Preparations for the feast are being made at | the Arlington today and there is promise of wsthetie decoration and gastronomic satisfac- tion. Small is attending to the foral work. Guests will use the entrance to the newer Arlington and will, from 8:30 to 9, be in the spacious parlors. At 9 o'clock the dining room lors will be thrown open and the banquet will | commence. The Banquet menu card isa cleverly artistic piece of work, designed and executed by Ged- ney & Koberts. On the cover is an emblematic etching, the figure of a womaa representing in- vention. A gold seal of the patent office, at- tached toa narrow blue ribbon, decorates the lower left-hand corner of the page. On the Effects upon the Household Economy” was read by Prof. Gilbert. The theory of Mr. Atkinson's address ap- peared to be that we pay many penalties for ‘he progress of invention, but these penalties are being gradually removed by further pro- gress on the same lines. He expressed a stron; preference for the old- fashioned, heavily timbered, house,low-studded. serene and homelike in its aspect, as com- pared to the modern style, which he called the “crazy roof style” of houses, surmounted with inverted mustard and pepper pots for decora- tive purposes. He attributed many evils to the inventioa of the buzz saw. by which good solid timber is cut up into combustibl> sham material, and he expressed his approval of the | “renaissance” now developing in a return to the colonial style in the construction of the country house. da respect to heating and cooking he said that it might almost be affirmed that the pro- gress of invention had been backward, but that the subject had now become conspicuously | important and from the present date great pre gress might be anticipated. He recommended | the establishment of cooking laboratories in | connection with every agricultural expeciment station, remarking that better instruction had | been given in the scientific nutrition of the | plant and of the beast than had ever been given to the nutrition of mankind. In conclusion he summed up our present condition as being that of a transition period of great compiexity, both in society and in the household. “We now scema to have reached a period of extreme complexity.

Mr. Cham Paper. ‘The paper of Mr. Octave Chanute of Tinois on “The Effect of Invention Upon the Railroad and Other Means of Intercommunication,” read at yesterday afternoon's session, referred in its opening to the condi- tion of things existing 100 years ago. At sea an average progress of 100 iniles per day was considered satisfactory and on land the com- mon road was still the principal way traveie! and the horse was the power used in transport- ing passengers and freight. A fair day's travel at that period way be stated as averaging about 100 miles m twenty-four hours. Extraordinary performances mightattain to twice that spect.” ‘Thus upon his disastrous return from Moscow the first Napoleon, anx- ious to reach his capital in the shortest bie time, rode in his traveling and sleeping carriage from Smorgoni to Park, a distance of 1,000 miles, between the Sth and 10th of De- cember, 1812, and this speed of, say, 200 miles | a day ‘may be considered as the utmost that man, with aulimited — resources at hix coimand, could then accom; on a thousand miles journey.

Negotiations are pending to furthe. this enterprise, backed by capitalists of means und experience. ‘The mill wil! have ample capacity for disposing of the wheat raised in this locality and shipped from this point, which annually amounts to 150,000 bushels, and will be a great benefit to farmers and the community generally. L. H. Miller ot Baltimore’ has been awarded the contract for the construction of the steel vaults of the First National Bank and will commence work at once. A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PROJECT. Gaithersburg will shortly have a first-class weekly newspaper, nearly al! of the required stock being now subscribed. A journalist of recognized ability will have general manage- ment with a staff of bright aveistants Its main object will be to promote the agricultural in- terest of this section. Its political complexion is not yet announced. ‘The’ cigar factory established at this place manufactured 50,000 cigars during the woath of March. REAL ESTATE Noes. A syndicate has purchased one-half the mineral right in Mr. MeGill’s farm of 450 | acres, adjoining this place, for £50,600 and will | shortly commence iining operations. The corporation has purchased w right of way through Russell and brooks’ subdivision for the extension of astrect tobe known as Brooks avenue, which will connect Frederick and Geshen roads, thus avoiding the necessity of driving so near the railroad, which has caused several accidents. Nir. John Kelt has commenced the erection of a handsome residence on Central avenue near his present homestead. Mr. Nathan Day is erecting a business house near the depot. PERSONAL 2EXTION, Maj. A.

Masonic Ceremonies Over the Remains of Gen. Albert Pike. THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH THROXGED WITH MEMBSRS OF THE CRAFT AND THE PUB- LIC—-THE WALLS DRAPED IN SOMBER BLACK— EXTRACTS FROM THE RITUAL. The First Congregational Church was not near large enough to hold the immense throng of people who went there last night to witness the Masonic ceremonies over the remains of the lnte Gen. Albert Pike. Long before the hour of midnight several | thousand persons were at the church door anxious to gain admittance, but the doors were not opened to the public until after the mem- bers of the Masonic orders had been accommo- dated. ‘The lower floor had been reserved for Masons | only, but when the doors were opened the ushers found it wholly impossible to keep back ‘the vast crowd. THE SOLEMN PROCESSION. A few minutes before the midnight hour, and | after the relatives and members of the de- | ceased’s family had been seated, the solemn pro- cession entered the church and the body of the deceased knight was placed on the catafalque, which was cn « platform that had been erec | for the occasion. The ancient ceremonies used | at the obsequies of a Knight Templar were jemployed. They are a modification of the original ceremonies and were written by the | late Gen. Pike. In compliance with the requirements of the | tremendous effort, and the thonght that the | ceremonies the walls were covered with black [actual <listance traversed from coast to const cloth and the remains of the dead chief placed on a trestle near the center of the church. ‘The body was dressed in the habit of the Ka- dosh, the loge crossed and the arms folded across the breast. Nine lighted candles in three triangles stood ai the east, west and south ot the casket, while to the north were the pil- lows and skull, the skull wreathed with ivy and su:rounded by seven candlesticks, which were not lighted. A heavy iron cross, painted black, stood at tise head of the coftin'and directly in front of this stood Grand Master Holt, who had charge of the exercises. Just at_about the hour of midnight Grand Master Holt and twenty-one knights follow- ing came from the chapel at the sound of trumpet, each bearing a lighted taper. ‘They ABSOLUTELY PURE Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U.

SUDOMENT OF THE DEAD. Grand Master Holt, standing at the head of the coffin, broke the death-like silence by say- ing: “Dear brethren and Knights of the Holy House of the Temple, it has pleased our Father, who is in heaven, to take away from us the living soul of our brother and to leave unto us his body, of which we are about to dispose according to our ancient knightly custom; but we are first of all to hold a judgment upon him whose mortal remains le before us. “It is midnight, and a new day begins for us. Our brother his finished his earthly probation. Death is the inexorable creditor, whose indul- ence nothing in the world can purchase. Every moment that secs a new-born child laugh at the light sees alsoaman die, and hears the cry of a breaking heart, end the lamentations of those who sit lonely and in the desolation of aftiiction, no longer seeing the faces of dearly loved ones. Round the little island of our being on which we follow our pas of toil or craft, of usefulness or mischief, throbs the illimitable ocean of eternity, upon which, round the isle, a broad circle of impenetrable darkness brooding But beyond that zoue the outer ocean sparkle: and its white crested waves dance in the ligh? and somewhere in the distance the islands of ful waters. Here, in our present home, we live our little life, waiting to be called to other duties elsewhere, and one by one our loved ones and our cherished friends glide away from us unseen, and are swallowed up in the darkness whick ‘is the shadow of the broad wings of deat! ich of us belongs to some little colony of hearts that hath a life of its own, its private and inner life, apart from that of the mass of humanity which oddies round it in endless agi- tations, having with it no sympathies nor any memories of association. When one of its members dies it is as if a limb were severed from the body. The wound heals, but the limb is missed as long as the body lives. ‘This is the body of our order here mutilated today and therefore we mourn. ‘THE RESPONSES. Then came the responses and the knight in charge said: “Let us look back upon the life of the brother whose spirit has departed from his body and sec if he be entitled to honorabls mention and to be remembered with affection. If any one of you, or any one who hears me, can accuse of wrong this knight now dead let him stand forth and so declare.” One of the twenty-one knights followed: “Brethren, it belorgs not unto man but unto God to judge the deai. He alone can with per- fect justice reward and punish. He alone can look into the soul and know its most secret mo- tives and at once see and know all that, from birth until death, a man hath thought and said and done. Therefore if thou wert even thrice to cali upon us to accuse our brother, whose lips are closed so that he can no louger answer tor himself, thou woulds't callin vain, for we are all brethren in the bonds of knighthood and do reverence our dead.” No ONE ACCUSES HDX. “It is my bounden duty again, brethren,” said Grand Master Holt. “We are free meni- bers of the Order of the Holy House of the Temple of Solomor. Speak! if ye have aught whereof to accuse the brother whose body lieth here awaiting burial.” ‘There was a death-like silenco for a few mo- ments and then the grand master said in a loud voice: “If there be no accuser there can be no judgment. | Doth no man accuse the dead?” ‘The twenty-one knighty knelt and answered: “God is his prs and ours.” ‘Three blows on the iron cross and theknights arose and continued the service.

When will God judge?” Response——"'In his own good time.” “Who will be man’s accuser?” ‘His conscience.’ “Who his defender?” ‘Who will give testimony against him?” “No one.” “No one? ‘God, who will judge, knoweth all.” A few more responses and then three blows on the iron cross were followed by soft aad plaintive music. The coftin lid was removed and the body prepared for burial. ‘THE FINAL BLESSIXO. Music by the choir of male and female voices followed and Acting Grand Commander Batch. eller. Gen.
