Enaland,s First Scientist.

The first great English scientist was
Roger Bacon, who died In 1904. The
exact date Of his birth Is unknown, but
It is believed that this year marks the
seven hundredth anniversary. He was
prosecuted and condemned and much
of his work destroyed, so that the ex-
tent of his discoveries cannot be def
nitely known. 1t is certain that ne
was centuries ahead Of his ignorant
and credulous times In chemistry, me-
chanics and mathematics. Branded as
a magician. he was thrown into prison.
From 1877 until short time before
his death Bacon was immured IN a
filthy cell. He is said to have invented
the camera obscura. the air pump and
the diving bell, and he was acquainted
with the uses Of optical lenses and the
nature of gunpowder, although the pro-
jectile power Of gunpowder appears not
to have been discovered until the fol-
lowing century. 1t is said that during
war Bacon set fire to the chief build
ings In town by using burning lenses.
