 States, I desire to devote this sum of thirteen thousand and thirty-three 

 dollars to the advancement of theoretic science and the promotion of 

 original research, especially in the department of jihysics, in the United 

 States.

 Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington City, D. C.^ Dr. 

 E. L. Youmans, of New York, and General Hector Tyndale, of Philadel- 

 phia, to act as a board of trustees to take charge of the above sum— =to
