	James Alfred Ewing
		Sir James Alfred Ewing (March 27, 1855 - January 7, 1935) was a Scottish physicist and engineer, best known for his work on the magnetic properties of metals and, in particular, for his discovery of, and coinage of the word, hysteresis.
		In 1883, Ewing returned to Scotland to work at the University College Dundee where he was appalled by the living conditions of many of the poorer areas of the town which he felt compared unfavourably with those in Japan.
		Ewing was a close friend of Sir Charles Parsons and collaborated with him on the development of the steam turbine, participating in the sea-trials of the Turbinia.

	Living Legacies
		Ewing’s summer jobs had made him familiar with emerging techniques employed by oil companies to reveal the thickness, composition, and contours of buried rock strata (and the oil hidden within them) by studying seismic waves traveling through and reflecting off rock layers.
		Much the way Ewing was applying physics to study geology, the geochemists were poised to unleash modern postwar chemistry techniques and equipment to study the history and causes of climate change on Earth, to chart the ocean’s circulation, and to confront a host of environmental problems.
		Ewing could not grab it because he had taken a blow to the neck and his left side was paralyzed.

		Ewing was director of naval education in the United Kingdom (1903–16) and was knighted in 1911.
		Ewing’s researches in magnetism led him to observe the phenomenon of hysteresis (a term that he coined), and he investigated the crystalline structure of several important metals.
		He was one of the first Europeans to study earthquakes in Japan.

		He died shortly afterwards, and was, through her efforts, succeeded by a favourite pupil of Sir James Simpson himself–now a well-known London physician–and the triumph of the new "boon for poor humanity" was complete.

	Inventor of the Week: Archive
		After a quake hit Yokohama in 1880, Milne, with British colleagues James Alfred Ewing and Thomas Gray, initiated the founding of the Seismological Society of Japan, the world’s first seismological society.
		He was asked to lead the organization but he opted instead to edit and write for its journal.
		Working with Ewing and Gray, Milne invented in 1880 a simple horizontal pendulum seismograph, a machine that records vibrations that occur with sudden movement along a fault line in the earth.

	Seismograph - Background, Raw Materials, Design, The Manufacturing, Quality Control
		The first accurate seismographs were developed in Japan in 1880 by the British geologist John Milne, often known as the father of seismology.
		Together with fellow expatriate scientists James Alfred Ewing and Thomas Gray, Milne invented many different seismological devices, one of which was the horizontal pendulum seismograph.
		This sophisticated instrument consisted of a weighted rod that, when disturbed by tremors, shifted a slitted plate.

		These men had no way of knowing that Shackleton was unable to start his trek, so they improvised and actually placed food and supplies, setting a record for sledging of around 220 days.
		It is only when you lose your identity in the object of your attention that you become one with it and you transcend mere reason to an indescribable level of awareness and being.
		The purity of scientific observation by Lord Ewing over a century ago shows how any researcher must approach the unknown: with humility and honesty.
