| 2 | Analytical Chemistry and 'Bush Sickness' In the early 20th century analysis of metallic elements relied on precipitationof an insoluble salt (gravimetric analysis), or on the formation of a coloured compound which could be compared - by eye - with a series of standards. These techniques could achieve detection limits as low as 1µg (10-6g), but at great cost in time and labour, and with poor precision. A major improvement came about with the invention of flame atomic absorption (a joint development by James Eric Allan of Ruakura Agricultural Research Station and Alan Walsh of CSIRO Melbourne) in the 1950s. This technique relies on the absorption of photons (emitted by atoms of the element in question as they are excited in a hollow cathode lamp) by atoms of the same element produced when a solution is sprayed into a flame at 1000 - 2000oC. Atomic absorption revolutionised chemical analyses of most metallic elements with vastly improved precision, and detection limits for most elements of about 1µg - and its developments were largely driven by the needs of agricultural research. | Allan, James Eric (I172015567813)

| 6 | Thomas FergusFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to navigationJump to searchThomas FergusThomas Fergus (6 April 1850 or 1851 – 29 September 1914) was a 19th-century New Zealand politician. Contents [hide] · 1Early life · 2Family and personal life · 3Political career · 4Death and commemoration · 5Notes · 6References Early life[edit]Thomas Fergus was born in Ayr Scotland on 6 April 1850.[1] There is some question as to the Hon Thomas Fergus' date of birth as the NZ Government records are two years different from this birth record, and his newspaper obituary gives 1851 as the birth year.[2] His father was also Thomas Fergus. It is uncertain when his father was born as there is no birth certificate to coincide with the date of 1815, however there is record of him in both 1851 and 1861 census for Scotland, and the age in those suggest that his birth was in fact in 1807.[1] His mother Annie McGechin is also found in census records but no birth certificate has been found to verify her date of birth, although the census suggests her date of birth to be in 1810.[1] In the 1851 census for Scotland the household included his paternal grandmother Elizabeth Fergus. The family is registered as living in Gordon Place, St Quivox, Ayr at the time of the 1861 Census for Scotland and included seven surviving children (Elizabeth, Thomas, Martha Grange, Robert, John, Ann, Margaret). He was the second to eldest and the eldest son.[1] He initially travelled to Melbourne on the Esmerelda in the early 1860s.[3] It is thought that he may have travelled with two sisters and a brother, although this needs to be verified.[citation needed] He later travelled on to New Zealand in 1869. He was educated in both Melbourne and at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand from 1872 to 1876 and worked as a civil engineer.[3][4] Family and personal life[edit]On 8 July 1874 he married Letticia Mckay at Hampden, North Otago, at the house of her father.[5] They had one daughter, Margaret Annie, born in 1875 at Cromwell, Otago. Letticia died at Hampden on 27 September 1876, aged 22.[6] She is buried in the Hampden cemetery.[citation needed] On 31 July 1878, he married Margaret McGregor Reid, daughter of his business partner Donald Reid. The marriage was conducted at Reid's residence Salisbury[7] in North Taieri.[8] They had four daughters, Fanny Stewart Fergus, Annie Grange Fergus, Daisy McGregor Reid Fergus, Elizabeth (Bessie) Barr Fergus.[9] Political career[edit]New Zealand ParliamentYearsTermElectorateParty1881–18848thWakatipuIndependent1884–18879thWakatipuIndependent1887–189010thWakatipuIndependent1890–189311thWakatipuIndependentFergus considered standing in the Otago electorate of Wakatipu electorate in the 1879 election, but decided against it.[10] He represented Wakatipu in Parliament from 1881 to 1893, when he retired.[11] He was Minister of Defence (1887–1889), Minister of Justice (1887–1889), Minister of Public Works (1889–1891) and Minister of Education (1889–1891).[12] Death and commemoration[edit]Fergus died on 29 September 1914.[2] Lake Fergus, a small lake between Lake Te Anau and Milford Sound and adjacent to the State Highway 94 (the Milford Sound Road) in Fiordland National Park, is named after him. William H. Homer (after whom the Homer Tunnel is named) and George Barber named it on 4 January 1889 after the then Member of Parliament for the Wakatipu electorate. After a brief ceremony, they "drank his health from a bottle of painkiller".[13][14] | Fergus, Thomas (I172019638998)

He had been living at Otakau since 1838 as accountant and store manager for the whalers, Weller Brothers. Later he and Janet took up farming, dairying and cattle raiding. Harwood purchased a sheep run at Moeraki in the 1850s. When he was forced to give this up, they moved to Portobello where they produced butter for the market. | Robertson, Janet (I172010944228)
