Inc Ash burton scholarship, he became in
Que time senior assistant to his tutor. HIS
rise was rapid, and at the age of % he wa:
appointed superintendent of the meteor
ologlcai department of the Radcliffe OBJ
servatory at Oxford. In 1853 he founded
the Chemical News. and five years later he
became editor OF the Quarterly Journal oi
Science.
Professor Crookes had natural love fol
original research. In 1861, while examin-
ing the resldues from sulphuric acid
works, be discovered the new metallic ele-
ment, thallium. This was followed by his
election as Fellow of the Royal Society.
1t was his delicate stereopticon investi-
cations" in connection with the newly
discovered element (which led him TO the
study OF the rare earths,' which has
proved so fruitful in his hands"
The mining world is deeply indebted to
him for drawing attention to the value OF
sodium amalgam in the extraction of gold
Al later date he called in the aid OF the
alternating electric current. This agent
acting IN concert with various mercuriai /
salts, and particularly with mercury
cyanide, has rendered possible the e1-
traction OF gold from highly refractory
ores.
In 1879 he was at work on his investiga-
tions 'Repulsion Resulting From Radia-
been drawn by his observing the action of
heavy pieces Of glass which he was weigh
ing IN vacuum balance, which, by the
way, was his own invention. In 1877 he
invented the otheoscope, and in the same
year science slgnlhed its Indebtedness to
him by electing MIN a mem Der of the ROYAL
Society. In q paper before the society he
stated that he had succeeded in obtaining
vacuum SO nearly approaching perfection
that the pressure IN II was only 4 mil
lionth of an atmosphere" These expert
ments led to very important results; for it
was found that in such an extreme
vacuum gases pass into an ultra-gaseous
state, which Professor Crookes termed a
state of radiant matter" and, further.
these extreme vacua opened up the way
for the incandescent lamp.
In addition to his extensive works in the
laboratory Professor Crookes has been a
voluminous contributor TO the scientific
literature of the age. Among other works
he has written ga Hand book of Dyeiug
and Calico Printing" "Select Methods in

Solution of the Sewage Question" He
has translated and edited Reimann's An
lime and Its Derivatives" Wagner's great
work on Chemical Technology" and
many other works of scientific prominence
have emanated from his busy pen.

Conditions Necessary to Enable a
Citizen to Cast Ballot.
The new registration law is quite
lengthy and very stringent in its pro-
visions; but a comprehensive idea OF
it can be gathered from the fol-
lowing:
Until January /, 1898, registrations
shall he in the hands of three super
visors in each county; after January
l, 1898, the work will be in charge Of
one supervisor in each county.
Until January l. 1898, all male

the State for two years and their
respective polling precincts for four
months, and have paid their poll tax
at least six months previous to an
election, and who are not laboring
under any of the disabilities men
toned in the constitution, and who
can read or understand the constitu-
ton, are entitled to register and be-
come electors. After January l, 1898,
the other conditions must be Com
piled with as described, and the can
didate for registration must have also
paid all taxes that may have been
assessed against him during the prev
ious wear, must be able TO read and
write any section of the constitution,
or must show tax receipts on prop
erty to the value OF $500. Ministers
and teachers, where otherwise quail
fled, will be entitled to register after
