Argon was the subject Of discussion
At a great meeting of scientific men In

the fact came out that in several re.
spects the new gas is a puzzle to chem
lists. None of them have succeeded In
causing 1t to combine with any other
substance. 1t appears to decline all
sntangling alliances.
Moreover, no one has yet been abb
