EQUAL TO OCCASIONS.
A Man of Quick Wit and Prompt
Action Was Lord Whitworth.
Lord Whitworth, who held various <
posts of honor in English diplomatic
circles, was a kindly, gracious gentle
man ns well as a wit and a man of
the world. lie had Indeed almost meas
ured swords with Napoleon at the
Tuilories when that despot railed at
England for not having evacuated j
Egypt and Malta, accused tier of hav- j
lug violated treaties and ended by I
flourishing a cane dangerously near the j
face of the English ambassador.
Lord Whitworth put Ids hand on the
hilt of his sword. • j
“What would you have done if the j
emperor had struck you? lie was aft* '
erward asked.
“I would have felled him to the ;
ground.” was tin* quiet answer.
Perhaps the best story told of him is :
one showing how his quick wit dis- j
posed of a rival When he was at the
Russian court. Fox sent there as a sort
of ambassador of Ids own a man named j
Adair, the son of a surgeon.
One day the empress, speaking in ;
French, said to Lord Whitworth:
“Is he a very important man. this M.
Adair?”
“Not so very, madame.” replied Lord
Whitworth, “although his father was a
grand seigneur.'* a remark which read
ers of French will recognize* as a very
good pun, for the word used by Lord
Whit ford means “blood letter." while
by its sound it also meant a great lord.

“Discovery.”
According to sonic wonder mongers, j
whenever you tell a story asserting the j
existence of something new and aston- j
ishing you “discover’’ it. Hut that is j
not the sense in w hich the word is used
by scientific investigators. When Pro
fessor and Mine, ('uric “discovered" the
wonderful element “radium’* they plac
ed it. so to speak, “on the table,'” and
every one has been able to examine it j
and to prove that the statements made j
about it are true. When l>r. I.averan j
of Paris “discovered" that malarial fe- j
ver is due to a parasite in the blood In* !
showed tin* parasite and showed how i
one can always lind it. and thus he en- |
aided any one and every one to see it .
and to examine its relation to malarial ;
fever. Those are instances of “diseov- \
erv.*’ Mere guesses and assertions I
without proof are not “discovery." —
