Éleuthère Mascart was born on February 20, 1837, at Quarouble (Nord). His early years were spent there, in modest circumstances, but were full of activity and boyish enterprise. Later he went to Paris and studied at the École Normale Supérieure, entering in 1858. While yet but little more than a student he wrote a paper on determination of wave-length of light, the first of an extensive series of papers on optical subjects which he was enabled to continue publishing for many years to come.
