NOBEL PRIZE-WINNERS.

The Nobel prizes, founded with his vast fortune by Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, to reward each year those who have most aided humanity by scientific or medical research, by idealistic literature, and by the promotion of peace, have been assigned this year to—

Philip Lesnard, Kiel University, for researches into cathode rays; Adolph von Baeyer, Munich University, for researches in organic chemistry; Professor Koch, of Berlin, for researches designed to promote the prevention and cure of tuberculosis; Henryk Sienkiewicz, whose trilogy of Polish historical novels is a lesson in patriotism. Baroness Berthe von Suttner, of Vienna, for labors and writings in the cause of international peace.

The World here adds the names of all who have received the Noble prizes since their foundation until the present year:

1901—Roentgen, X-rays; Van't Hoff, physicist; Von Behring, developer of antitoxin for diphtheria; Sully-Prudhomme, poet; Henri Dunant, founder of the Red Cross; Frederik Passy, writer on peace. 1902—Lorenz and Zeeman, physicists; Fischer, investigator of uric acid; Major Ross, malarial investigator; Mommsen, historian; Professor de Martens, who visited this country, with the Russian peace envoys. 1903—Becquerel, of the Becquerel rays; M. and Mme. Curie finders of radium; Arrhenius, Swedish chemist; Finsen, discoverer of Finsen rays; Bjornsen, poet; W. H. Cremer, M.P., of the London Arbitrator. 1904—Baron Rayleigh, British Royal Institution; Sir William Ramsey; Professor Payloff, St. Petersburg Military Academy of Medicine; Frederic Mistral, Provencal poet, and Jose Echegaray, Spanish dramatist.

Already the lengthening list is becoming an international Upper House of the truly great men of Europe—the men whose achievements dwarf the deeds of warriors and the petty contrivances of ordinary statesmanship.
