show thats3o years ago he pre-
duced artificial diamonds from
a carbon solution, and he has
been at work ever since on the
problem of the divisibility OF
the so-called elementary sub
stances. He is not alone in
these experiments, but does
not care to give the names of
his associates. He says that
the present announcement is
made some what before it
otherwise would have been, be-
cause he thinks that it is his
duty as a citizen to make
known discovery that will, of
necessity, settle forever the
warfare between silver and
gold in the financial world.
He further says he is aware
of the sensation that this an
nouncement will make, and
that he is prepared to stand by
it before the scientific world,
which is alone able to. pass
judgment upon IT.

GOLD FROM SILVER.
A New York Scientist Car
Turn the One Into the
Other.

New York, N. Y, Aug. r.
DR.. Stephen H. Emmens, the
inventor of the fearful explos-
i've "Emmensite" and a scien-
list of recognized ability, made
public this afternoon a discov-
cry that, if true, is the most
wonderful Of the century.
He declares on his reputa-
ton as a prize man of King s
college, London, and a pupil
of the celebrated chemist, Blox-
am; that he has discovered a
method of changing silver into
gold. He further asserts that
a laboratory is about to be
erected in the vicinity Of this
city in which the process will
be carried on in a commercial
way.
DR.. Emmens will not as yet
make known any details Of the
discovery. All he will say is
that the relations of the two
meals to- each other chemically
and their constant association
III nature has long madeir pro
babe that they were but differ
ent forms of the same sub
stance, just as charcoal ard the
diamond are allotropic forms
of carbon. Working on this
line, he says that it has been
found that neither of the metal
IS an elemental body. On page
35I of the last edition OF Blox-
am s chemistry there is a state
ment Of recent discovery made
BY the scientist Cary Lea of
Philadelphia, which DR.. En-
mems says is the key to the
problem Of the relation of sill
yer to gold.
Working along these lines,
he says it has been possible to
dissolve gold as easily as SUI
gar III water, just as Lea says
he has dissolved silver The
color and action Of the result
tart solutions are the same,
and on aggregating the parti-
eles Of the solution a substance
has been secured which has all
the characteristic reactions OF
gold. The problem Of making
this tr.insmutation of CONNER
Gal value he asserts has also
practically been worked out.

The Dangerous Splitting Nuisance.

Drs. Hermann Biggs and T.
Mitchell Prudden, the Health
Board Psychologists, have prepared
a report on the practice of splitting
in public places and conveyances,
which, in their opinion, is re-
sponsible for the dissemination Of
diseases, such as consumption,
pneumonia, influenza, diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles, or whooping
cough. That the practice is mere
ly habit, and not a necessity, is
shown, they say, by the large
number of men who are free from
it, and the Insignificant number
of women who are addicted to it.
The practice should be abated, the
report says, and could be with the
assistance of the community. Ac-
companying the report are resolu-
tions providing that signs should
be placed in elevated and surface
cars and on the stations OF elevat-
ed roads, signed by the Health
Board, and warning the public
against the practice. These signs
should also be put in all municipal
and federal buildings, and the
authorities and elevated roads
should be requested to provide
spitoons in public places. The
resolutions also ask the Manhat-
tan Elevated Railway to give
orders to guards ito prevent pas.
sengers from splitting into the
street.
