"'This was sufficient to drive off any
trace of doubt with regard to the above
theory-that all metals were merely the
isomeric changes of the same matter
which has been my belief since forty
years.
This seems to me perfectly straight
forward account of an actual case of
transmutation,' continues DR.. Emmens
Those of my readers who are familiar
with the history of the subject know full
well that the evidence of such events hav-
ing taken place is simply overwhelming.
"I may be permitted in conclusion to
remark that even a member of the Acad
emie des Sciences will readily admit Sir
Isaac Newton, Sir Humphry DaVy and
Sir William Crookes to be three of the
greatest leaders of science the world has
ever seen.
All this from DR.. Emmens is In
teresting, but can he answer these
questions:
Can he show a committee Of citi-
zens the process of making gold from
Mexican dollarsP
Can he prove that his gold bricks
sold to the Government were thus
made from silverP
Can he undertake to manufacture
large quantities of pure gold for the
trade at liberal discount on pres

goldI. e.. not to have more than a trace
and dispose 1t in an apparatus which will
prevent expansion or flow.
Then subject 1t to heavy rapid and
continuous beatings under conditions Of
cold such as to prevent even a temporary
rise of temperature when the blows are
struck. Test the material from hour to
hour, and at length you will find more
than a trace of gold.
Whether the experiment would prove
successful with pure silver or a silver
alloy other than a Mexican dollar can
not say. It is to my mind very possible
that there are several varieties of silver
considered with regard to their molecular
equilibrium.
IT do not even insist that the metal
obtained in the experiment or produced
under better economical conditions in the
Argentaurum laboratory is gold. 1 choose
to call it so, but this is not binding on
you or any one else
Is It Golden Keely SecretP
1t is claimed that DR.. Emmens has pre-
sented a problem even more difficult to
solve than the Keely motor. In the first
place. he Is in absolute control of his
secrets and laboratory He is a man of
prepossessing appearance and manner, his
dome of thought Is Shakespearian, his
countenance pleasing and his language
simple and well expressed and his delivery
forcible magnetic and exceedingly plausi-
Bile.
He has scientific terms and data at his
fingers ends. The learned gentlemen In the
Assay Office admit that his claims cannot
be controverted beyond answer.
He sits at his desk, on the seventh floor
of a big, many windowed building on
Broadway, looking down on Bowling
Green and the business center Of New
York beyond. He answers questions In
stantly and reassuringly.
He says the subject of transmitting sill
yer into gold is too serious to be consid-
cred in frivolous way so often exhibited
by newspaper writers. His figures are
modest and he keeps his statements with
in reasonable bounds, if his claim is to
be admitted as possible.
He SAYS: I'VE are unable to manufac-
ture gold in large quantities at present.
To do so would require numerous and ex-
tensive Implications of our limited appl-
ances, which can handle but few ounces
of silver at a time. The present profit Is
about 80 per cent. 1t has required a great
deal of thought and hard, exacting toll
to bring the process to its present state of
development Really, we are but on the
threshold of manufacturing gold on a
large-almost unlmited-scale. / estimate
that we have made about SIS 900 worth of
gold from silver thus far.
More Silver Cocoanuts to Crack.
Another hard fact of different or

through a course OF sprouts, which devel-
oped them into something approaching the

should be. The larder and sideboard were
stocked with the best the market afford

bachelors soon became coveted pleas

A year ago the club increased It's mem
bership and secured more spacious quar-
ters at 221 East fremont street, which is
in the elite residence quarter of the city.
BY good business management the bach
elors have never had any trouble with
the butcher, the baker or candiestick
maker.
The personnel of the club has partly

and specific gravity from the original stl-

YER
Such result is more than conceivable:
1t is probable. Instead of being surprised
at Sir William Crookes being so simple as
to try to make gold our wonder should
rather be that the many eminent chem
lists of the present century have been so
simple as to overlook the argentaurum
method of molecular disaggregation and
rearrangement
Here, however, an objection at once
presents itself. Why gold? Admit that
the silver molecules become pulveriZed,
and that the fra agments become welded
into fresh molecules. 1T is unlikely that
these will be all of one kind.
Why should not copper, iron and other
substances be produced instead of gold?
The answer is twofold. In the first place
the contractive action of cold will prob
ably prevent the formation of molecules
having less specific gravity than silver
I'm the second place, Sir Williams eX-
pertinent showed that very few of the
rearranged molecules took the form of
gold. If my worthy friend had COM
menced by making complete analysis Of
his Mexican dollar, and had subsequently
made complete analysis of the ham
mered and frozen cuttings, he would have
found many changes in addition to the
augmented percentage of gold"
Here is what DR.. Emmens says of his
latest improved process:
THE gold producing work in our ar
gentaurum laboratory is case of sheer
Mamnon dealing.
1T is not being carried on for the sake
of science, or in a PROSECUTING spirit No
disciples are desired and no believers are
asked for.
Our gold process has become modified
since the announcements made last. When
work on a microScopcal scale advanced
to commercial dimensions it was found
possible to dispense with the tedious and
costly preparation of So-called 'allo-
tropic' silver as raw material. We now
use Mexican dollars, and the operation
consists of five stages, as follows:
H(a) Mechanical treatment
''(b) Fluxing and granulation.
"tc) Mechanical treatment.
I'D Treatment with oxides of nitrogen
i. e., modified nitric acid.
"(e) Refining.
I'VE regard the mechanical treatment
as the causa causans The fuxing and
granulation serve, we think, merely to
render the molecular aggregates suscep-
tible of displacement and Encouragement
''If you will try the combined effect of
impact and very low temperature you can
easily produce some gold
II don't promise that you will make it
at a commercial profit, but I doubt not
you will be well pleased to produce it at
all irrespective of cost.

handsome residence where the club is
domiciled is furnished equal to any in
the city and it may be of interest to
know that the. excellent living seldom
costs the members over $50 per month.
In this organization of convivial spirits
are many young men who have or will
distinguish themselves in business art
and the professions
The entertainments given by the club
are always on an elaborate scale. and
there is no lack of beauty to grace such
occasions. The success of this club nat
urally raises the query as to why young
men of other cities do not effect similar
organizations. Such an association gives
an opportunity for the members to enter
tain their friends. secure the best of liv-
ing, congenial spirits, and, last but not
least insures protection against the
dreaded clearinghouse hash"
But will this club-this bachelors ideal
way of living-last much longer?
The young marriageable women of
Stockton declare that it won't, and al

select committee of them have hit upon
