. C. H. Tyndall, Author, Lecturer, Scientist.
BY REV. F. ST. JOHN FITCH.
Dr. C. H. Tyndall is unique. Since childhood he has [died and stored scientific knowledge. Being a branch of the lilies of Sir John Tyndall, scientist, and William Tyndale, ^le translator, he comes rightly by his love for science, and reverent spirit with which he unfolds its mysteries. He is the natural successor of Professor John Tyndall, at >t in America. Prior to entering college, he had his own mical laboratory. At twenty-one he was a teacher of Physics, emistry and Astronomy. For twenty-five years he has experi-nted and lectured on science.
His lecture on Wireless Telegraphy early in 1901 created nsation in the press throughout the world. He has given it leral hundred times in the United States, Canada and Eng-Frequently well known people pronounce it the best lec-they have ever heard. He is always abreast of discovery, now that lecture covers a very wide range of science, and is termed, uThe Wonders of Ether Waves.n Hardly had the world awakened to the discovery of that wonderful thing, Radium, before we find him sessed of several specimens of it, and lecturing in the same lucid and fascinating manner on uRadium and Mysteries."
By many experiments he shows how it is related to the multitude of facts brought out in his uEther ves," and to numerous other things simple and profound in nature. Three degrees have been conferred on him for his scientific attainments, and he is the author of several ks, the last of which is, ^Electricity and Its Similitudes." He thrills and fascinates his auditors. Sometimes he returns and repeats the same lecture in two weeks, return dates are numerous. Twelve times in Mount Vernon, his own city; twelve times in the Classical lool, New York, and forty-eight times in that City; ten times in Yonkers, N. Y,; twenty-three times for the |M. C. A. of Windsor Co,, Vt; five International C. E. Conventions; ten at the World's Fair, St. Louis; nty-one times for one Committee in Canada, and so on. He presents the profoundest scientific facts so simply, clearly and forcibly that they are deeply instruc-, and wonderfully interesting,
IAPTAIN CHAS. GRAHAM, Nautical Editor Journal of Commerce, LIVERPOOL, ENG.
DEAR SIR:—Dr. Tyndall deserves all that was said of him and more for his really brilliant exposition of Wireless Telegraphy. Kever has this most interesting subject had its subtleties laid bare to laymen in a manner so simple yet so comprehensive. He deserves the jminent name he bears for his ability. Yours respectfully, CHAS. LANCASTER.
Leeds, England—I consider your address on "Ether Waves" one of the most interesting and wonderful addresses I ever heard.
REV. S. CHADWICK.
Sending 200,000 Volts of Electricity through the Body, Lighting A Tube two feet long.
Tuning Wireless Circuits
THE WONDERS OF ETHER WAVES.
Wireless Telegraphy; Invisible Light; Inaudible Sounds; Telepathy, Etc.
This lecture deals with scientific facts of intensest interest from the simplest events occuring in our daily life to the pro-foundest mysteries in nature.
In it are demonstrations in resonance, and in wireless telegraphy, in which brick and stone walls and the human body, are shown to be transparent to Ether waves. Methods of tuning wireless instruments, and finding the key-note of numer¬ous objects are illustrated. Electrical and other experiments are performed. All of which have made this lecture unceasingly popular both in America and Europe.
Committees that have had it from five to ten times still ask to have it repeated, and ever find something new in it.

Telegraphing through the Body by Wireless Waves.
A LECTURE ON RADIUM AND ITS MYSTERIES.
The most wonderful element ever discovered. Nothing so marvelous in the history of the world. Th wizard element. A red hot stove with nothing to keep up the fire. More precious than diamonds. Thou* sands of times more valuable than gold. Present everywhere, yet the rarest thing known. The key to inos of the mysteries of nature. Such are the statements of scientists concerning Radium.
Several specimens of this costly element, and other radioactive substances, are shown. By many beaut ful experiments, as hinted at in the accompanying cuts, the audience sees just what is occurring in Radiuir The lecturer sends a current of electricity of 200,000 volts through his body, and explains why it does nc kill, and how it is related to Radium light.
He demonstrates why Radium will burn one like a live coal, illustrates its mechanical effects, or pel petual motion; shows how it gives out light for ages; why it cures cancer and other diseases; changes every thing it comes near; how it reveals and explains the nature of electricity; unlocks the secrets of creation proves itself to be the "missing link" in the chain of nature, and how it stands related to the profoundest a well as the simplest things of life, the suns and worlds in the heavens and the candle burning on our table.
Dr. Tyndall entertained a large audience last night. The State Street M. E. Church was crowded when he gave his famous lecture on Radium. A large delegation from the General Electric Works were in attendance and a unanimous verdict pronounced it even better than his lecture on "Wireless Telegraphy," which he gave in this city two weeks ago. He is a fluent and interesting speaker.—
The Schenectady Sun,
Men's Club, Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York—I have heard nothing but expressions of delight at the lecture.—HENRY W. JESSUP, President.

Richards, The Brick Presbyter¬ian Church, Fifth avenue, New York City—"You opened a door for us into that world of mystery and harmony which has been so far from our thought though we were really living our lives in the midst of it.

Leeds, England.—It was on Mr. Chadwick's sugges¬tion that Dr. Tyndall decided to visit this country to de¬liver a series of scientific lectures. The tour was open¬ed at Leeds with a lecture before a large congregation who manifested the keenest interest. Mr. Chadwick in introducing the lecturer said: "I have no hesitation in saying that the address I heard has lived with me more vividly than anything else in the whole of my stay in America." Dr. Tyndall fully realized all the ex¬pectations which Mr. Chadwick's introduction raised. Altogether it was very interesting and practical.— York¬shire Daily Observer.

He said that he felt deeply indebted to Dr. Tyndall for his exceedingly lucid explanations. The Chamber of Commerce had heard previous lectures on this subject by leading authorities, but the whole mat¬ter was demonstrated to them that afternoon in such a graphic way as enabled them to get a clear grasp of the subject."—The Monthly Magazine, Incorporated Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool.
Sir Edward Russell, Liverpool.—Mr. Lancaster always says the right thing, and his remark yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce meeting that Dr. Tyndall had taken the audience behind the scenes, just expressed what everyone present must have felt.
