‎First appearance of an importent historical paper in the investigations of radiation from cathode rays. This is Crookes first 2 papers on attraction and repulsion. In the same year he invented the ""light-mill"".""While working with his balance in a vacuum, Crookes noticed another ""anomaly"": the equilibrium of the balance was disturbed by slight differences in temperature of his samples. Inparticular he noticed that warmer bodies appeared to be lighter than colder ones:....At first Crookes believed this was a signpost pointing to a link between heat and gravitation....Since the attraction or repulsion was heighned by a decrease in pressure, Crookes was led s to suppose in 1873 that ""the movement is due to a repulsive action of radiation"" Repulsion was produced not only by heat radiation but also by light, and Crookes concluded - erraneously, as it turned out - that he had found a genuine case of ""the pressure of light"" postulated by the unfashionable corpuscular theory of light and Maxwell's as yet unaccepted electromagnetic theory.""(DSB III:477).Sir William Crookes (1832-1919) studied at the Royal College of Chemistry , London, and served there as an assistant to Hoffmann.

‎First appearance of a classic paper in which Crookes by his spectrographic methods confirms the discovery of argon by Ramsey and Rayleigh in 1895. The plate is the first to show the spectra of argon, the first of the inert gases to be discovered.The paper first describes the spectra obtained by passing an electric discharge through argon at very low pressures,. Several specimens of argon (some containing traces of nitrogen) were invested. Crookes distinguished between the spectral lines attributable to argon and those of nitrogen and verified that the argon isolated by Lord rayleigh and William Ramsay was truly a new chemically inert element.

‎First appearance of Crooke's statement that radioactivity seems to violate the principle of the conservation of energy.""Despite his speculative powers, Crookes at first took a conservative view of this new science, for he could not believe that radioactive elements decayed spontaneously, since this seemed to imply a violation of the conservation of energy. It was his view, expressed between 1898 and 1900, that the source of activity was external to the radioactive element. He imagined that radium, say, had the ability to act as a Maxwellian demon and select from the atmosphere those air particles which were moving more swiftly than the average, absorb some of their energy, and eject them at a lower speed. This theory, which never received full publication, contravened the second law of thermodynamics"" and although Crookes thought that he might have experimental support for it, his evidence did not measure up to the critical scrutiny of Stokes.""

‎""Radio-activity of Uranium.""‎

‎(London, Harrison and Sons, 1900). Without wrappers. Extracted from ""Proceedings of the Royal Society of London"", Vol. 66. Pp. 409-422 a. 1 photographic plate.‎

‎First printing of an importent paper which pawed the way to the understanding of radioactivity. Crookes showed by using photographic plates as indicators of activity that if uranium was purified, it could be separated chemically into a nonactive portion and a radioactive portion that he called uranium X. ""In May 1900 Sir W.Crookes showed (the paper offered) that it was possible by chemical means to separate from uranium a small fraction, which he called uranium X, which possessed the whole of the photographic activity of the original substance. He found, moreover, that the activity of the uranium X gradually decayed, while the full activity of the residual uranium was gradually renewed, so that after a sufficient lapse of time it was possible to separate from it a freh supply of uranium X. These facts had an importent share in the formation of the theory (of radioactivity)."" (Whittaker ""A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity"" Vol. II, p. 5.).‎

‎First printing of these papers of seminal importance to the evolution of particle physics - the results of these investigations immediately lead the way to the discovery of the neutron.They found that the 'Beryllium radiation', discovered by Bothe and Becker, ejected protons from a paraffin target. This discovery was amazing because photons have no mass. However, the Joliot-Curies interpreted the results as the action of photons on the hydrogen atoms in paraffin. They used the analogy of the Compton Effect, in which photons impinging on a metal surface eject electrons. The trouble was that the electron was 1,836 times lighter than the proton and, therefore, recoiled much more easily than the heavier proton after a collision with a gamma photon. When James Chadwick reported to Lord Rutherford on the Joliot-Curies’ results, Lord Rutherford exclaimed, ""I do not believe it!"" Chadwick immediately repeated the experiments at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. He not only bombarded the hydrogen atoms in paraffin with the beryllium emissions, but also used helium, nitrogen, and other elements as targets. By comparing the energies of recoiling charged particles from different targets, he proved that the beryllium emissions contained a neutral component with a mass approximately equal to that of the proton. He called it the neutron.‎
