TRANSMUTING OF
METALS CLAIMED
London Scientists Assert Big
Discovery.
PRODUCE NEON AND HELIUM.
Read Papers Showing How Elements
Have Been Changed op Else Matter
Has Been Produced From Energy.
Chemists Greet Revelation With
Deep Wonderment.
At a meeting of the London Chem
ical society recoutly papers were read
by Sir William ISamsay and Professors
Norman Colllo and II. Patterson,
which assert that the authors have
done one of two things. They have
achieved clearly and definitely the
transmutation of elements or they have
evolved matter from energy.
At the outset of his paper Sir Wil
liam referred to "the mild Incredulity
with which some years ago the scien
tific world received the announcement
that ho and Cameron had obtained
lithium from copper." lie then de
scribed further the experiments which
resulted in the discovery. In gold X
ray bulbs he had discovered helium.
The joint paper of Messrs. Collie and
Patterson dealt with the discovery ot
tho presence of neon in hydrogen after
tbo passage of an electric discharge
through hydrogen at low pressure.
Their experiments carried Sir William
Ramsay's work to the further point
that both neon and helium had been
produced from substances in which
they were previously not known to be
present
Various Possibilities.
There were various possibilities. It
might bo that the elements of the tube
in electrolysis gave neon or helium un
der the lnlluence of the discharge.
This gave ten or a dozen elements to
choose from as the source.
Again, there was a chance that hy
drogen was the source, or It was pos
sible that they wore dealing with a
primordial form of matter, tbo primor
dial atoms of which, when produced,
had all the energy necessary for form
ing a world by the combination of
these atoms.
Atoms of elements which will bo
found In helium and possibly in hydro
gen were present in a nebular state, and
they were present In tbo experimental
tube. Possibly the electric current di
rected the flow of these atoms with the
full force of its energy and, with tho
phenomena of heat and light, the ele
ments came into existence.
At any rate, one thing seemed cer
tainelements could bo changed, and
they could be changed In a way very
different from the way that radium
was changed. In its case the process
could neither be hastened nor retarded,
but tho present phenomenon was arti
ficial, and a further progress was oc
curring at tho other end of the system
of atom producing elements of low
atomic weight.
Old Ideas Corrected.
The old idea of tbo transmutation of
elements had to be altered. We are
coming now to know more of subatom
ic matter, and it had to be realized
that tho old order cbangeth, yielding
place to the new.
Professor Arthur Sraithells began tho
discussion which followed the reading
of tho papers by saying that he was
breathless at the announcements made.
It required courage for scientific work
ers to bring forward such results. Tho
obvious criticism was that In the ex
periment enormous weight was neces
sarily laid on tho spectroscope evi
dence, nnd his experience had taught
him caution In this respect. lie felt
.sure, however, that others were too
experienced to fall Into the pitfalls.
Ho expressed his great gratification
that other researchers had taken up
the investigation.
In the hottest and most recently
formed stnrs hydrogen, helium and pos
I slbly one or two other elements not
known on tho earth make their ap
pearance, nil of them being of light
atomic weight. As the stars cool down
the atoms become bcayjer, or. in othor

Navy Department Has Plan to Chart
Vessels on Atlantic
Tho navy department is perfecting
plans to chart about noon each day
tho position of every ship on tho Atlan
tic which carries n wlroless outfit.
Tho chart will bo posted at the Mari
time Exchange, In Now York. It will
be of great value because the Arling
ton station is powerful enough to get
reports easily from across the Atlantic.
Ships with smaller outfits can commu
nicate with thoso carrying strong bat
teries, nnd these will report to New
York or via tho Arlington station.
Admiral Andrews of the bureau of
navigation said commercial bodies had
tried to make such a chart, but it was
manifest that the facilities of tho navy
department wero necessary to get word

SPAIN SEEKS RETURN OF

Advances showing a strong desire on
the part of the Spanish government to
attract back to Spain the Sephardic
Jews of Turkey, whoso ancestors wero
flriven out of Spain centuries ago, are
described In the American Hebrew's
account of a recent visit of tho Mar
quis do Nantoulllet, tho Spanish min
ister of Constantinople, to the Chief
I Rabbi Nnhoum.
' The Spanish minister expressed to

that Spain, too, had suffered heavily
from the consequences of the acts com
mitted centuries ago, Official Spain as
well as tho people, ho said, were anx

ancestors, which they felt was tbo

Soldier Appeals to Czar and
Is Imprisoned.
MERELY OFFERED PETITION.
Details of Brutal Oppression of Soldier
Who Sought Leave to Aid Family
Come to Light Is Charged as Would
Be Assassin and Convicted Tales of
Cruelty In Dungeon Are Told.
Cablo dlspaches recently reported tho
case of a Itusstau soldier who tried to
hand a petition to tho czar while ho
was reviewing the troops on tho field of
Khodlnka, near Moscow. Tho soldier
was arrested, tried and sentenced to
imprisonment for this offense. Tho
full details of tho case have just bo
come public now and are found In the
indictment presented before the court
which found tho soldier guilty and sen
tenced him to the galleys for life.
Tho name of the soldier Is Gregory
Bakhurin. On Oct. 23, 1012, Bakhurin
was tried in Smolensk. The trial was
conducted behind closed doors, but a
copy of the Indictment found its way
into some of the Russian newspapers,
and tho case attracted much attention.
Last summer whllo tho emperor was
reviewing tho troops on tho Khodlnka
field Bakuurln, who was a private in
tho Sophlsky regiment, ran out of the
lino and tried to hand a petition to tho
emperor. Some of tho officers mado
an attempt to stop Bakhurin, but he
eluded them nnd rushed up to the em
peror, holding the pcltition in bis hand.
The document was taken from him by
one of the Cossacks.
Is Described as Assassin.
At the trial tho minister of war, Gen
eral Sukhamllnov, tho commander of
the Warsaw district; General Scalon
aud Colonel TUncheuko of the Sophlsky
regiment gave their testimony. Ac
cording to their statements Bakhurin
loft the line suddenly, holding his gun
in his right hand nnd running directly
toward the emperor. While thus run
ning ho drew from his pocket a paper
and raised it in bis loft hand.
The minister of war on noticing this
rushed over to the soldier and caught
hold of the collar of his blouso. Bak
hurin commenced to struggle. Bak
hurin, nccordlng to the general's testi
mony, wns greatly agitated, and ho
kept repeating:
"Let me go to tne czar!"
Ilaving torn himself away from tho
minister of war, Bakhurin ran off in
tho direction of tho czar's suit Then
General Scalon galloped over to Bak
hurin and, seizing him by the left
hnnd, ordered hlra to hand over the pe
tition, but Bakhurin insisted that ho
must give It himself to the czar, and
ho tore himself away from General
Scalon's grasp.
In tho meantime other officers rush
ed over to Bakhurin, and Colonel Tka
chonko succeeded In taking tho gun
away from Bakhurin. Tho colonel tes
tified that ho had to make an effort in
order to got the gun away. He ex
plained, however, that tho soldier in
all probability clutched the weapon
Instinctively.
Bakhurin was kicked by tho colo
nel's horse nnd fell to tho ground. But
ho jumped up quickly and ran off
again. Stopping in front of the em
peror's horse, ho knelt and stretched
out tho hand In which ho hold his pe
tition. Wanted to Aid Family.
A Cossack hurried over to the sol
dier and teok the petition from his
baud. In his petition Bakhurin beg
ged tho czar to free him from military
service on account of misfortunes that
had befallen his family and added that
he was the only support of tho family.
The officers and soldiers of his regi
ment testified that Bakhurin was
known among them as a rather intelli
gent and religious man, but that ho was
always uncommunicative and taciturn.
Tho soldier himself testified 'that ho
know ho had no right to do what ho
did, but ho thought tho emperor would
forgive him and would grant tho re
quest which he mado in his petition.
Bakhurin wns deprived of nil rights
and was sentenced to Imprisonment for
life nt hard labor.

Harrard university has Just estab
lished In its medical school In Boston
a department of tropical medicines for
tho purpose of carrying on research in
tropical diseases and to give instruc
tion to medical students who expect to
take positions in tho tropics. Tho de
partment is a pioneer in this field. At
Its head is Dr. Richard Pearson Strong,
formerly an army surgeon, noted for
hla investigations into tho bubonic
plague, tho pnoumonlc plague, the
yaws and other diseases pocullar to tho
tropics.
Tho department Btarts with a five
year guaranteo of sufficient funds, and
it is expected thnt within that tlmo It
will havo so demonstrated its impor
tance and servlceablencss as to become
a permanent part of the medical school.
Dr. Strong will havo the various scien
tific departments of Harvard universl-
j ty to call upon In his researches, not
I only thoso of tho medical school, but
the great equipment of the Bussey in
stitution, where microscopic llfo Is

WANTS HORSE SENT BY POST.
Colored Man Applies at Postoffice For
Animal He Had Ordered.
While Postmaster Creed of nerml
tage, Ark., was having one of his busi
est hours at tho office, a long, lanky,
"keen headed" negro appeared before
the delivery window. An anxious ex
pression mantled his face.
"Boss," he queried, "Ah sent $29 foh
uh hnwso. Has yo' got 'ira?"
"No; this Is no livery stable," re
plied the postmaster.
"Ah knows dat, boss, but aln' he

James Gallaher, a Western Union
operator of St. Louis, who was Injured
by a fall on tho ice a few weeks ago
and as a result lost his hearing and
had his eyesight seriously Impaired,
has ovolved a novel way of talking
with his friends.
Every day some of his former otlico
associates call to soo him aud talk
with him by means of the Morse code,
tapping on his temples.
Mr. Gallaher's son, who is also an
operator, first thought of this plan
whereby his father has been able to
keep track of tho news of tho day.
Gallaher says that he is able to read
with ease tho code messages sent to
his brain through the nerve tappings.
