Speaking of the possibilities of ra- dium writer in one of the magazines says that it will be seen at once that they are enormous. Among a great many suggestions as to the outcome, are: the transmutatio of metals (the making of gold no less); solving the problem of light without heat; the perfection of wireless communication; the cure of certain phases of blindness {; new sources of heat, and, since it would now seem that there is, after (which appears to our untutored sense to assume various forms merely because each form contains a special number of particles to the atom), chemistry may undergo such reju- venation as will result in the most unheard of discoveries. Already an hypothesis has been worked out to the effect that the emanations from ra- dium and kindred substances are on par with the rays which go to make up the aurora borealis. 1t is, in fact, thought quite possible that the aurora is merely cathode or Rontgen rays on a gigantic scale, and the phenomenon of Rontgen rays is analogous to that of radium rays. Cut of this has come the suggestion that we may soon be able to predict weather changes with greater accuracy than heretofore. The bearing of the discovery on astronomi- cal speculation, also, is important.
