Discovery of Dr. Hewitt Per
Croiti Clearness of Enuncia
1 tion in Coast-to-CoaU Cull
--Invent Morcury Lamp.
By HOLLAND.
W'k.n 1 nr.t Krlvill visited tilt
United States, in what proved to be
i,;. u vi.it in this rountrv. he wai
cladly received by Dr. I'clcr Cooper
Hewitt in the laboratory which Dr.
Hewitt had entablithcd in the tower
of the Madison Avenue garden.
Lord Kelvin was especially inter
ested in a demonstration of Dr. He
witt's discovery and invention of
the vaporiied mercury electric lamp.
One feature disclosed in the demon
stration caused Lord Kelvin to be
intensely occupied for some minutes.
He then revealed himself as one of
the master minds in science. It wa
a peculiarity which Dr. Hewitt had
himself ohserved. but for which he
could find no explanation. It was a
bubble-like formation which moved
around with velocity in the bed of
mercury as though attracted by some
mystic force, the knowledge of which
was beyond the ken of both Lord
Kelvin and Dr.- Hewitt.
At last L6rd Kelvin said. "Oh! if
only Helmhotz were here so that
he mipht give study to this peculiar
formation. Within it is certiinly
hidden a law not now known, but if
discoveried may be followed by re
sults now undreamed of."
Din In Tula Hospital.
Ttr. Hewitt IM from pnmmonla which
followed an operation which was - per
formed a few d.y. a so In a Parle hoe
pltal. Hie ' body will be brought to the
t'nlted Staff and burled bealde the (rave
wf hie distinguished father, Abram 8.
Hewitt, and hie equally dtatlnaulehed
grandfather, Peter Cooper. He died witn-
out having maetered the stranc prob
lem which the appearance of that bubble
In the mercury tube had cauaed. But he
waa eatlefled that If he were permitted
to live the allotted time of man he would
have at laet discovered the law which
roverned the creation and movement of
thla Strang phenomena.
Dr. Hewitt' death at thla time puta
an end to Important Investigations which
he bad begun and hoped to continue. In
hie perfectly fitted laboratory In the
Madison Square Garden tower he he beer,
experimenting for a year or two. hoping
that theeo' experiment would be followed
bv dlecove'le which would not be only
of aclentlflc, but alao ot commercial
value. .
Science In Future.
Tr. Hewitt frequently In conversation
poke of the new era of cience now
opening and the wonder which await the
world atttr aclence has demonstrated Ita
rapacity to penetrate aome of the mys
tetiea of naturo. He waa Inclined to
think that aclence might be of greater
value In making war lmpoaalhle than any
political or diplomatic treaties or under
standings. . He thought he foresaw such
triumph of ectehce a would be aure to
relegate powder and ball to the warfare
arrap heap, because aclence would pro
vide the mean by which armies could
be absolutely exterminated, and If ex
termination were certain then no armie
could be obtained,
He believed that aclence would ultimate
ly show the way by which , telephonic,
conversation could bo carried an any
where at any time by meana of a small
apparatus perhaps not larger than a
watch, which could be carried In the
waist coat pocket.
Or. Hewitt'a atudy of the application of
eleotrclty .both' to long-distance telephon
ing and fo also wlrelea operations, re
sulted In an Invention whose value ha
not yet been fully recognised. It us
In very long-diatance telephoning, now pr
foetly achieved, : supplemented In an Ini
portent manner other' Inventions, notably
that of Cartyi which have been put Inn
une, now make It possible to talk In New i
.York to any Olio In San Tranclsco with
the claims of elunclatlon which la tht
feature at modern short-dlatance telephon-
' ! Inherited Wealth. ;s
Dr. Hewitt Inherited wealth . and ' It
would have been easy tor him to have
lived In gentle and echolaMy retirement.
But he always looked upon hi wealth a
an aid in the life work which he had un.
del-taken. He waa a true grandson Intellec
tually of Peter ' Cooper. H - sometime
poke with pride ot the fact that Peter
Cooper wa the first American to construct
a locomotive .engine. , Sometime he
pointed to the modern elevator now cap
able of lifting passenger from the etreet
level up to S Morle or more, saying that
hi grandfather foresaw the perfecting of
an elevator system and for that aon
caused to be built in Cooper Institute
building ahaftn which some day he aald
would be sufficient for elevator purpose
and which are now thu ujed.
Columbia university, of which nr.
Hewitt wa a graduate, conferred upon
him the degree of Doctor of Science and
he etood hooded with the .ymbolic evi
dence of that degree beside Lord Kelvin
and other who-wer the guest at Co.
r , . . ,l . . TO, rtarrsii was
umoia at m. nm. , L . .
given to him cnleny Because n nam un
covered and Invented the Pori
cury electrlo lamp. It w. an entirely
original discovery and invention. - Now It
peculiar tint la een In many manufactories
giving foth a color not elsewhere employed
In dyes, but which can only be described
a combination of blue and green. Some
: have woken of It as a ghatly color, but
the workmen, who by It u.e. '
tools, their lathes and other mechanism
a fully disclosed to the vlelon aa thongh

Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Chicago Grain
Br CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
C'hlrais Tribune-Omaha He Lraaed Wire.
Chicago, Aug-. 30. Unloading of
lines ly discouraged longs and in
sufficient supporting gave the grain
markets a tone of weakness. The
finish in wheat was at the extreme
low points and 1 3-4(g Jc lower than
the resting spots yesterday. The
fact that Canadian May wheat told
at a discount under the same delivery
in Chicago, allowing for exchange,
was more or less responsible for the
selling. Export demand for corn
was broad. This cereal closed
1 l-4c off and oats, S-8(37-8c lower.
An undertone of weakness marked
the trade in wheat. Volume of bus
iness was not large and values suf
fered more or ltws from an advance
of outside interests. The break in
coarse grains also was effective,' as
it tended to discourage longs into
unloading their lines. At the start
there was good selling by shipping
concerns and later sales became more
general. Marketing of wheat in the
northwest and southwest was a trifle
lighter, but on the whole of heavy
dimensions. -
Weather Condition Good,
News relating to export demand wa
unfavorable to the wheat, both her and
at the aeaboard. Weather conditions have
been excellent for farm movement, no
precipitation having been encountered to
interfere. Indication generally pointed
to fair weather over the entire belt, with
no decided change In temperature la pros
pect. The exportable surplus of old wbest In
Argentine is estimated at 37,000,000
bushels, against 82,000.000 buahel a
given by th. government in It last Is
sue. Little grain I being shipped from
there, a holder are said to be itrong,
and it la expected that export will not in
crease until th new crop movement I
near at hand. Advlcea Indicate that
British miller are generally awaiting
new Canadian offering of Manitoba
wheat, In anticipation of advantageoua
purchase due to their belief that the of
ferings will be liberal. . .
Corn Price Lower.
Corn price worked lower under scat
tered liquidation, which led to stop los
selling on the decline. Cash - interest
were seller .and some support was given,
th mart at the start by. shipping, con
cern, snd thla wa taken to bs agatnat
xport buslnees. Later, however, the buy
ing power dwindled and valuea dropped
with rapidity. Country offering, con
tinue to run to heavy, volume and current
arrival arc fairly liberal.
Scattered liquidation of September oata
forced- lo lower and led to selling of the
deferred deliveries. A little stop loss
selling was Uncovered on the decline snd
sellers of bid were forced to protect
themselves on the way down. Good cein-mlssion-house
buying of December around
27 H , or Sit over September- served to
steady th market.
Cash rye closed ,H01o. lower. There
were no choice grades on sale. No, 4
sold at 5S5Hc.
; Pit Jfote., . '! '
Further liquidation In September corn
and oata 1 expected tomorrow, the. laat
day ot the month, Th proposed reduc
tion In rate on grain, wfclch will take
effect shortly after the first, ot the month,
puts holder at a disadvantage. No great
liquidation is expected In wheat, but the
market will be Influenced to aome extent
by the action of coarse grains.
Pending loan application aggregating
nearly $30,000,000 for government fund
to flnanoe exportation of cotton, wheat
and other farm products to European
market will be approved and advanora
made before the end of the week, accord
ing to an announcement ot Eugene Mey
er, of th wv finance vorporation.
. Caah corn1 man were surprised at the
maintenance of cash corn price, in th
face of the big receipts. . The recent sell
ing of corn by the country ha not been
specially large, but tbe market are get
ting th corn sold some time ago. One
house chartered room for 2S5.00O bushels
corn today, tor shipment to . Buffalo and
Georgian, bay, and said there was a de
mand for corn for export lor all positions
up "to November.
Cash houses were big buyers' of Sep
tember oats, against sale ot December at
2 Ho difference. : Norrl ,3. Roaenbaum,
McCarthy Bros., Lewis and Bartlett
Frailer were taking mat side of the
spread. General holders of September
were changing over , to the deferred
month. Commission house wets fair
buyer of December straight, also.' -
A smaller acreage of winter wheat In
Kansas for the coming season is predicted
by J, C. Mohler, secretary of the state
board of agricultures. Unfavorable mar
kets and dry winds of . the past week,
which have made preprat!on of ground
for wheat sowing difficult, were given as
reason for- th probable reduction In
acreage. :.
Local sentiment In wheat veer to the
bull or bear side ot the market, depend
ing on the outside trade. The market
doea not have the necessary support aa
yet, to sustain advances, but it is no
ticeable that on the breaks, the wheat
sold on bulge hy leading Interest i
taken back.
Cotton In tbe last few week, has ad
vanced equivalent to 40 cents a bushel or
more tn wheat and the situation in cot
ton Is not regarded as strong aa that in
wheat. In cotton, there waa a big carry
over to make up for c.p deficiency, but
in wheat ther was not only a much small
er crop than expected, w4th a moderate
carry-over, but there has been a record
breaking export business.
New York Cotton. " I V
New -York, Aug. 20. The cotton mar
ket had another big opening today, with
price 2t to 40 point higher, one de
livery crowing 17 cent.. There wa heavy
new buying, based on bullish crop news
and considerable trade buying, as well
a aupport from Liverpool interests. -Wall
street sold on -th advance, but th mar
ket continued strong.
The afternoon advance extended - to
$14 II for December and $17.10 tor March,
with active months generally selling 60
to 40 points net higher. Reactlona ot 20
to 25 polnta followed under renewed real
ising, with the market rather unsettled
around S o'clock. The average estimates
by members of the cotton exchange point
to a crop condition of 70.3. , .

Financial
By ALEXANDER "ANA NOYES
Cblrag Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 30. The general
advance on the stock exchange today
indicated the more cheertul view
of which Wall street is beginning to
take of the general situation, but it
also reflected the closing out of the
recent attempt to force prices lower
on the basis of disappointment at the
absence of vigorous trade revival.
That effort to break the market
(ailed because outside investors would
not sell, and their attitude undoubted
ly expressed the belief of the general
public that, even if return of genuine
business activity were to be post
poned, underlying economic influ
ences were changing rapidly for the
better and the' financial movement
passing into a distinctly new phase.
Money Rates Lower.
It I quite true that th market of thla
week of 1920 wa almllar in character
to today'a and therefore gave a mislead
ing forecast of th Immediate financial
future. But It la alao to b remembered
that whersaa, money on call went to 10
per cent a year ago and time loan at
814 to t. today'a discount market itood
at t per cent or lower, while call money
declined on the atock exchange to 4, the
lowest line August 1, and except for
one day In July, the lowest of tht year.
Btisinees on th stock xchngt wa
ubatantlally larger than th recent dally
average, with advance of 1 to 4 point
well distributed, though by far -the most
actlvs buying occurred In the Industrial
hare. Thl represented continued re
treat of npeculators for the decline, but
railway shares, though not so largely dealt
In. made considerable advance, reflecting
apparently reaasurlng Inferences drawn
from tne aweepmg economies snd gain
In net results, which were ehown again
by another line of companies reporting
for July. Foreign exchange went higher
snd th advance in th cotton market con
tinued. Foreign Exchange Bate.
