New York Telegram.)

Scientists are at present very much In
terested in the discovery of two new ele-
ments by Prof. Charles Baskerville. of
the University of North Carolina, and so
enthusiastic have they become over his
researches that they have been dining aud
feting him ever since his stay at the Hol.
land House, in this city.
There is much mystery surrounding the
new elements. for so far no one has been
able to discover if they are of any prac-
teal use.
What properties they may contain or in
what way they may be of use CONNER
cially is so far matter of conjecture,
but scientists in general believe that
something wonderful will develop from
the new substances when they are better
known.
When Prof. Baskerville was interview.
ed by an Evening Telegram reporter to-
day in the Holland House, it developed
that in the production of the new ele'
ments other discoveries were made,
through the help of radium, which are
also of great interest.
1t may sound absurd at first, perhaps,
to ask, How would you like to have your
pockets full of light? or how would you
like to look through stone wall? But
it can be truthfully said that with the aid
of science both these apparently impossi-
bic feats can be accomplished.
Flawless diamonds can now be made to
shed d beacon of light of dazzling bright
ness, and even the human body can be
made fluorescent by a new adaptation Of
radium recently discovered.
