Experiment, too, had never made such daring ventures, whether in the form of applications to art, or the determination of problems purely scientific. With every one of these onward movements, whether of theory or experiment, Professor Henry was in activesympathy. In many of the most important he was the leader of thought and act, as witness his place in the very first anticipation of the doctrine of correlation of forces; his prophetic experiments and suggestions in respect to the use of the telegraph in meteorolog- ical observations and the reports of astronomical discovery ; his devices to render available the reports and essays, scattered over the scientific world, by system- atized bibliography ; the long-continued researches in respect to light and sound, which were incidental to his official experiments as a member of the light-house board; his comprehensive experiments in respect to the sustaining capacity of building stone, and his never-ceasing study of acoustics in every possible produc- - tion, prolongation, and disturbance of sound, whether in his own parlor, in soll- tary walks, in fog or sunshine, or in travel by land or sea.” Briefly alluding to the dark days of the war and the lofty bearing of Henry during that period, which lifted him above personal bitterness from any man, the orator dwelt on the singleness of purpose actuating the Secretary of the institution. © _ That singleness of purpose lifted him above jealousy, envy, and even the idea of a reasonable compensation for his labors. He never directly or indirectly sought for place or honor, nor even asked for increase of pay. Continuing, the orator said: . ‘
