Chemical News, and in 1864 became the
editor of the Quarterly Journal of Sci
ence. Prof. Crookes was born with
love for original research. He discov-
cred the new metal thallium while ex-
aiming the residues from sulphuric
acid works. He was then made a fell
low of the Royal society. In 1872 he
developed many interesting matters
in his Investigations on "repulsion re-
sulting from radiation In 1877 he in
vented the otheOscope. In a paper that
year before the Royal society he said
he had succeeded in obtaining a vacuum
so nearly approaching perfection that
the pressure in it was only GA mil
lionth of an atmosphere. 1t was found
that in such an extreme vacuum gases
pass into an ultragaseous state, which
Prof. Crookes describes as radiant
matter" 1t was these vacua that made
possible the incandescent lamp. He
has written a small library, every book
of which is of value to experimental and
commercial science. His name came be
fore the general public in the TOs, when
he undertook an Investigation of the
physical phenomena of spiritualism
His book on the results of those ex
periments, with the media of John
King" and katy King" was widely
read on its publication. But while the
scientific world placed the highest value
on his experiments in other lines, il
paid no attention to the results he OBJ
tanned in his work on the occult side
of nature. Prof. Crookes' name car
