pursued his investigations of nature with, great ar- 

 dor, and published the results in various scientific 

 journals. In 1820 he discovered the chlorides of 

 carbon, and in the year following the mutual rota- 

 tion of a magnetic pole and an electric current. In 

 1823 he discovered the condensation of gases ; in 

 1831, and following years, the development of the 

 induction of electric currents and the evolution of 

 electricity from magnetism. 



The establishment of the principle of definite 

 electrolytic action, the discovery of diamagnetism, 

 and the influence of magnetism upon light, obtained 

 for him, in 1846, the Rumford Medal and that of 

 tha Royal Society. In 1847 he announced to the 

 world the magnetic character of oxygen and the 

 magnetic relations of flame and gases. 



When Mr. Fuller founded the chair of chemistry 

 in ]833, Mr. Faraday was appointed the first pro- 

 fessor. He then continued his investigations on 

 the subject of electricity, and was led to the pre- 

 sumption that electricity, magnetism and light are 

 but one and the same force, varying ■ in effect ac- 

 cording to circumstances, but obedient to laws 

 which will one day be discovered. lie also promul- 

 gated various theoretical views with regard to static 

 induction, atmospheric electricity, the lines of force, 

 both representative and physical, and latterly pub- 

 lished several papers on the conservation of force, 

 and on the division of gold and other metals. 



He also delivered lectures to young people at the 

 Royal Institution during Christmas time, in which 

 he showed that the ease with which he descended 

 from the heights of science, and conveyed to the 

 minds of his youthful listeners the scientific princi- 

 ples of "common things," was not the least of his 

 many gifts. 



In 1835 he received a pension of £300 a year, 

 from Lord Melbourne's government, in recognition 

 of his important services to science. In the follow- 

 ing year he was appointed scientific adviser on lights 

 to the Trinity House, and was subsequently nomi- 

 nated to a similar post under the Board of Trade. 

 He was chemical lecturer from 1829 to 1842, at the 

 Royal Military Academy. 



In 1823 he was made a corresponding member of 

 the Academy of Sciences in Paris ; in 1825 he was 

 elected a Fellow of the Royal Society ; and in 1832 

 the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Laws was 

 conferred on him by the University of Oxford. 

 He was a Knight of the Prussian Order of Merit, 

 of the Italian Order of St. Maurice and Lazarus, 

 and one of the Eight Foreign Associates of the Im- 

 perial Academy of Sciences of Paris. In 1 855 he 

 was nominated an officer of the Legion of Honor, 



and in 1863, he was made an Associate of the Paris 

 Academy of Medicine. Mr. Faraday was an elder of 

 the sect called Sandemanians, and frequently preach- 

 ed in their chapel in Goswell Road. 



OHIO POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. . 



ANNUAL MEETING, 



To he held at SandusTcy, Wednesday, Thursday and 

 Friday, Dec. 4:th, 5th, 6th, 1867. 



The annual meeting of this Association will be 

 held as above, and from the reputation which north- 

 western Ohio has gained for the production of Ap- 

 ples and Pears, as well as Grapes, it is expected 

 there will be a fine display of these fruits, and a 

 large attendance of fruit growers on this occasion. 



There will be discussion, as usual, on fruits and 

 fruit culture, and the proposition for changing the 

 name and constitution of the Society, to that of a 

 State Horticultural Society, will be considered 

 and acted upon. 



All persons interested in fruit growing, or other 

 branches of Horticulture, are invited to attend and 

 participate in the discussions ; also to bring or send 

 samples of rare or choice fruits they may wish 

 to have examined and reported on. Packages 

 may be sent, by Express, to M. H. Lewis, San- 

 dusky. 



It is expected that return passes will be granted 

 by the several railroads to persons attending the 

 meeting.
