Abstract
PROF. WILHELM WIEN, of Munich, whose death on Aug. 30 last, at the comparatively early age of sixty-four years, is deeply regretted, was in the front rank of the physical investigators of his time. He was born at Gaffken, near Fisch-hausen, in East Prussia, where his father was a farmer, and received the earlier part of his education at gymnasia in Rastenburg and Königsberg. He then studied at the universities of Göttingen, Berlin, Heidelberg, and finally at Berlin again, where he was a pupil of Hermann von Helmholtz.
