The Newly Discovered Element.

"Argon, the hitherto unknown element
which Lord Rayleigh and Professor Ram
say have discovered in the air, is harm
less sort of commodity, and it constitutes
only about one one hundred and twentieth
of the atmosphere. But that we should
have SO nearly arrived at the close OF the
nineteenth century without even suspect
ing that the mixture Of nitrogen and oxy-
gen which we have been inhaling was
adulterated with anything besides new
mown hay, spring flowers, salt sea breezes
and odors from oil reflneries, as the New
York Tribune puts it, Is an astonishing
fact.
The principal constituents Of air exist
therein in the proportion of about n parts
of nitrogen to 81 of oxygen, by weight,
and argon is believed to form about per
cent of atmospheric nitrogen" Hence
eight one thousandths Of the weight OF
the atmosphere, or about two ounces OF
The Is pounds pressure to the square inch
Is due to the newly discovered element.
Lord Rayleigh was engaged for years III
experiments before he felt sure that he was
dealing with hitherto unknown sub
stance. One circumstance which to him
seemed highly significant was that nitro
gen isolated from tho dir, which is thoughs
to be merely a mechanical mixture, al
ways seemed heavier than that obtained
from chemical combinations.
