WITH THE SCIENTISTS.
SIX New Chemical Elements Dis
covered Within u Year.
Qsvenlng Post.

The great progress which has been made
in chemical science during the past year
is shown by the fact that no less than
six new elements have been discovered.
While some OF these elements may be
omen 10 question, as the evidence Is as
vet rather meagre yet In each case the
results have been obtained by skilled ex-
perimenters, and future investigations VIII
doubtless establish the correctness OF their
results beyond question. TO the six new
elements the following names have been
given: kryptOn, neon. metargcn, cOro-
mum. polonium, and etherion. To FRO
fessor Ramsay, or London, is due the dis
cOvery Of the first three substances, whicn
were found TO occur with argon after II
had been Isolated from liquid air. Eacn
has a different spectrum, and kryptoh
and neon have densitics considerably
greater than oxygen. while the density
OF metargOn is the same as that OF argon.
POlOnium has not as yet been Isolated,
but is said TO resemble oismGth. IL has

The futility Of the attack now Delng
made in New York on mems clubs does
not. of course, interfere In the slightest
with ones interest in the problems ssg-
sested. II may as we'll be noted once
and for all that nothing that the zeal OF
a reformei may suggest will In any way
disturb the club and its relation to the
social life OF to-day. Whether or not the
mems club is in need of reform Is ques-
ton that cannot be settled satisfactorily

with any organization not avowedly PM

tual. or spiritual reasons for Its existence
Curiously enough. many humane and re-
ngious philanthropists. such man as
Or. RaInsford, for instance, have felt
that one OF the means Of elevating GER

well for those who would abolish mems

men who are inclined that way drift into

New York policeman runs to fat.

New York police force provides that

man must have certain physical qualih-
cations and as to weight, the man must
come within the following requirements

Proposed Exchange of Philippines
for British West Indies.

LONDON. January 16-Diplomats re-
fuse to take seriously the revival Of the
report cabled from Washington, that the
United States is willing to exchange the
Philippines for the British West India
Islands. a high official Of the Foreign
once characterized the statement as alb
surd. He said that while the Continental
powers appear 10 be willing to permit the
United States to hold the Philippines as
spoils OF war, they would not be likely
TO remain passive spectators Of a change
of the balance OF power in the far East.
which would result from Great Britain's
requirement OF these islands, particular
ly SO at this critical time, when the strug-
gle for domination in China Is on.
The official further remarked that he
did not believe that Great Britain or the
United States courted the inevitable pro-
tests and complications which would re-
suit from the proposed exchange. II such
negotiations are on foot, the officials OF
the United States embassy here have nc
knowledge OF them.
