Abstract
IT is hard to believe that Sir Joseph Thomson will enter the ranks of the octogenarians on December 18—he has given, and is giving, so much to the world that it may very well happen to him as to Voltaire, who awoke one morning to find the world celebrating his eightieth birthday, he himself having scarcely had leisure to realize that he had reached middle-age.
