THEY CALL IT ARGoN.
Discovery OF an Element In the Atmos-
phsre Hitherto Unknown.

Discovery OF an Element In the atmcs-
phere Hitherto Unknown.
The existence Of another element in
the atmosphere, announced last summer,
but received with a good deal Of incro-
dulity. has now been fully demonstrated.
The proofs were adduced IN highly
interesting form before distinguished
audience 90 the London Royal institu-
tion recently The new element has
been named argon by its discoyerers,
Lord Rayleigh and Professor Ramsey.
There il still some doubt whether this
strange, inert gas, which deties some OF
the best known laws Of physics, consists
Of one or two primary elements. The
discOvercrs have finally succeeded IN
separating il from the atmosphere on
large scale and have sent portion TO
Professor CrOokes, the eminent spec
iroscopist, and portion TO Dr. Olszew'
ski of the University Of Cracow to
liquefy and solidify These great au-
thorities have found that the new sub
stance gives a spectrum Of its own and
has its own boiling point freezing
point, critical temperature and critical
pressure, that are all different from
those Of any other element One Of its
properties Is its invincible reluctance to
combine with anything else. IL Will
have nothing to do with oxygen, chlo-
rine phosphorus, sodium, platinum or
various other substances. Even the cleo
tric arc does not make il take compan'
ionship with anything.
Ono important quality Is a great puz-
zle. Ali the heat given 20 the new sub
stance produces only the motion OF
translation In another respect argon
presents difficulties. The great Russian
chemist, Mendelejeff, has discovered All
empirical law which associates the prop
critics Of elements with their atomic
weights. Now the new element has
density Of 80 or 40, which does not tit
this law. Argon gives two spectra, the
red and the blue and it is this which
raises n doubt whether the investigators
are dealing with one or two substances.
If the latter should prove true, then
there is new vista opened up, and II
is suggested perhaps one Of these sub
stances will prove to be Professor
Crookcs' ideal protyle, the ultimate
basis Of matter from which all otheIs
are only combinations.

individual named Henry Granger, liy'

Mr. Granger had large family and
had been out Of work for several months.
Privation had undermined his health,
and the household had become destitute.
Then the law stepped in and summoned
the unfortunate father before magis-

Tho law again supplied him with con-

would have done more for him but no

he reached its sheltering doors His
death had been rather irregular, so tho

DEAD,

We never knew till she was dead
The full sweet measure OF her worth,
How with her being closely wed
Were all the fondest ties of earth.
But now that gentle voice Il still.
Those willing feet are laid to rest;
Nor sight nor sound again shall thrill
The pulseiess marble Of her breast.
She win not answer TO our call,
Though love entreats with streaming eyes
Nor break the spell of deaths cold thraii.
Nor e'er from her low couch arise.
Oh, now we know how empty seems
our life since che from us has gone,
And thoughts will conc Hike haunting dreams
OF her 10 feed sweet memories on.
Now since her ministrations sweet
About our ways no more are spread.
We know wha, made our lives complete,
And oh we miss her now she's deadl
So brief the time since she was here.
We sometimes seem g. quite forget,
And pause to bend a listening ear.
Expectant OF her coming yet.
But where the grave. yar'i shadows rest,
The narrow mound Is hcaped on Mgr,
And deep the damp mold on her breast
through all the years must coldly lie.
And so we know the thought Is vain.
Though IL will rise 10 haunt ia so
To Ilft the weight of death cold chain
Alas IL may not be, we know.
For none whose feet have passed away.
