Abstract
THE news of the death of Dr. Max Margules on October 4, which reached this country a fortnight ago, is rendered particularly sad by the announcement in Tuesday's Times that “his death was due to starvation. He had been living on a pension of 400 crowns a month (which is equivalent to 8s.), and he was too proud to beg for assistance.” Dr. Margules was born in 1856 at Brody, in Galicia. After studying at Vienna and Berlin, he entered the Austrian Meteorological Service in 1880, and became secretary of the Institute at Vienna in 1890.
