COPPER BY NEW PROCESS
Johns Hopkins Learns Of Newest
Discovery.
English Scientist Reported TO Have
Succeeded in Producing Metal
SyntheticaIly.

Baltimore. May According &c ad-
vices received at the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity from England, the worlds source
of copper production is TO be radically
changed within the next few years.
At a meeting Of the Chemical Seminary
at the university it was secretly an
nounced to the members of the depart
ment that President Ira Remsen had re-
eeiyed private communication from the
distinguished English chemist, Sir Will
lam Ramsay. Of Cambridge University, a
scientist Of international fame that he
has succeeded in accomplishing what no
other chemist has ever been able 10 do
the segregation of one element from an
other. and the production OF copper by
the synthetic or combination process from
the elements sodium, Hthium, and potas-
stun.
Such discovery wuD.d not only be OF
great value as a purely scientific investi-
CATION but would be Of equal value in its
application 10 commerce and the arts. Ii
copper can be made synthetically by such
a process as the English scientist will
attempt to demonstrate, its influence upon
the copper mines Of the world viii be
untold.
