Actually Eoetvoes did publish his results in 1910, but no one knows about it because it was added at the end of a geophysics paper published in the proceedings of an international conference. After a short review of Eoetvoes' life, this article reports how the first publication of the results of his famous experiment was ''lost.'' This and other historical curiosities about his work are related to the current interest in his results and modern theories of quantum gravity. The appendices explain how the Eoetvoes balance works and also describe the controversy over the modern reanalysis of Eoetvoes' results.
