A remarkable personality is revealed by details of the life of Mr. Richard Charles Jackson, the 70-years-old reclase who died recently with only 6s, &d. in his pocket and 5. standing to his credit at the bank, though his house in Camberwell. S.E.. wha sold filled with trensures which were for nearly £12,000.
Mr. Jackson died in i narsing home from blood poisoning. He was about 78. He never spoke to neighbours and invariably wore long clerical robes and a skull-cap.
The house was in a disordereil.stato when Rubbish it was entered after his death. was everywhere, while on the floors were scattered valuable book and pictures, Above the garage was a private chapel where Mr. Jackson used to worship.
Among the articles sold at the sale were more than 8,000 books, nearly 400 pictures, jewellery, vestments, a writing-table which had belonged to Carlyle, a pair of genuine Queen Aline lusters, and valuable furni

Mr. Jackson was very eccentric and would not part with any of his treasures, although there is evidence that he must often have gone hungry." When he bought his house some years ago he offered the agent a beautiful diamond ring in ex- change for the deeds. It was not accept- ed, so he told the agent to wait while ho raised money on the ring.
It is stated that Mr. Jackson was once bishop of the Greek Orthodox Church in England, was a Doctor of Divinity, and a Doctor of Philosophy,

LIQUID LIGHT.
REMARKABLE CLAIMS MADE BY ITS INVENTOR.
Mr. Guide. Blensu, a well-known chem. ist, has announced in New York the in- vention of a radio-nctive fight in liquid form which can be poured into a bulb and used for many years,
In a statement to the New Fork Herald Air Blens said:
"Eventually this invention will make coal fuel, oils, and other power a thing of the past. It is far superior and more effective than electric light, and will probably last ten or fifteen years without attention."
Te nuded that the United States Bureau of Mines had greatly assisted him in his experiments.
Mt. Blenso, experimenting with radio- active elements. in 1908 produced a liquid j which gave a light for more than seven years before the container was broken accidentally,
BRITISH EXPERT'S COMMENTE When asked as to the probability of Mr. Blenso's claims proving well founded, Dr. A. M. Low, the well-known inventor, said that he would not care to say that it was impossible, particularly as he had not seen any details of the invention.
"There are, however," he explained, two limiting factors Either the light given out will be very feeble and of not much practical use, or else, if it is reason. ably bright, then its duration will not be worth considering
Of course, there are at present lumin- nus paints which in their liquid forth are far more active than when dry, but they are in the nature of accumulators of light. and unless they are exposed to some light source from.time..to tine will cease to radiate. Possibly, in a thousand verra. such a methad of providing light will he commercially possible.:
