' Arago made several important discoveries in electro-magnetism especially the phenomenon of rotatoi y magnetism. He 

 may be said to have proved the relation between the aurora borealis and magnetic variations. He greatly promoted the 

 acceptance of the undulatory theory of light, and made important advances in the doctrine of the polarisation of light. 

 Other minor achievements were made in the department of photometric measurements of the brightness of the stars, the 

 elastic force of steam and other gases, etc. etc.'
