A Possible Undiscovered Gas.

Professor William Ramsey has
given to the British association his
opinion that there is an element, as
yet undiscovered, lying between
helium and argon when arranged
according to the periodic law"
While experimenting with helium,
in the attempt to purify it by re-
diffusion, it was found that this gas
could be separated into a heavy and
a light part, with densities Of 30
and "a continuing the experiment,
after as many as 1s0 diffusions of
helium, the density of the lightest
portion remained constant at j 80,
and its refractivity to light as COM
pared with air was 0.1245. The spec
trum, too, not differing from helium,
one element may therefore be con-
sidered as isolated as pure helium.
The residue is easily altered in dem
sity by rediffusion, implying small
quantity of heavy gas mixed with a
large quantity Of light gas. The
spark spectrum revealed argon in
the mixture to the amount Of 1854
per cent by density and LA per
cent by refractivity, leading to the
supposition that the new gas is con-
tanned as a very small proportion Of
argon. Neither helium nor argon
forms compounds, SO that the new
element as demanded by the pc.
riodic law must be determined by
diffusion. This method, however,
does not reveal the existence of such
gas, though it by no means fol
lows, Professor Ramsey holds, that
there is no such gas.
