The January 1st, 1998, issue of Nature (Vol. 391) presented us with the annual
"Anniversaries" commentary (pp 13-16) which commemorates landmark scientific discoveries and
puts them in a historical perspective. Pierre and Marie Curie discovered polonium and radium in 1898; Henry Cavendish measured gravity and determined the density of the earth for the first time in 1798; and Hildegard von Bingen was born in 1098.
