TRANSMIT iYION

Though the hope of the MEDIEVAL alchemiSt
that he would some day be able TO convert one
element into another was never realized his ex-
pectatiOn has within the last three or four years
appeared in an entirely new light To the recent
discussion of the matter, which has at times
been exceedingly animated. fresh stimulus will
be impaired by an announcement which Sir
William Ramsay has just made to DR.. Ira Rem
sen. president of Johns Hopkins University.
The distinguished British chemist believes that
he has been able TO produce copper-0r, rather
a salt Of cOpper-by combining lithum. sodium
and potassium. the union having been effected
under the influence of radium yapor.
Any statement which Sir William Ramsay
makes Will be received with profound respect
by his professional brethren. He is probably the
only chemist who ever predicted the discovery
OF new elements possessing prescribed qualities
and then went ahead and found them. He is
the man. too, who confirmed the suspicion of
another investigator Mr.. Frederick Soddy) that
a certain gas evolved by radium was helium
The phenomenon has been interpreted in more
ways than one, but Sir William himself regards
1t true transmutation and not merely the lib
Grafton Of q concealed associate. He concludes
therefore that by dsintegraton alone similar
changes take place IN nature, the parents being
tie heavier elements and their progeny the
lighter ones. Transformations of that character
If they really do occur. are practically spopta-
neous and not subject to human control Sir
William came 10 believe in 1904. however that
something like reversal OF the process was
feasible. The appearance Of minute quantity
of material resembling lead on the walls of a
glass tube which had been exposed for months
to the action of radium led him to think that
certain elements could be built up from others

determination that the law should be executed
decently and in order which in the circum-
stances meant fully and Immediately. That
determination fulfilled In way according
with the best traditions of Jersey justice"
The case affords profitable example, in
dual sense. 1t is worthy of emulation 10y other

members of which must, we imagine, regard its
dignified majesty and its thrilling effectiveness
with envy, they look at the lawess tumults

citizen of Gloucester County feels an honorable
satisfaction in last weeks work, far different
from the horror haunted emotions OF one who

to avenge.
We must believe. too. that the example ia of

the criminal than such expeditions imposition
of legal penalty. Nothing is more REFRESHING
and depressing to violent passions than such
calm and passionless execution of justice. A
fierce and angry act of retrbutiOn no matter
how sanguinary and cruel, may In turn arouse
fresh lawlesS passions, and certainly reminds
evildOers that those who perform it are. after

The flames of the "lynchng bee" often rekindle

suppression that some more than human agency
is at wOrk-that the outraged law Is being vim

THE DOuINICAN TREATY.

The Dominican Republic is entitled to cordial
congratulations upon the of yesterday
with its announcements Of the ratification of the
long pending treaty with the United States for
the service of the Dominican customs revenues
and the public debt The terms of that treaty
have hitherto been sufficiently set forth. but it
may be well 10 recall some of their essential
Textures in view Of the fallibility of human
memory and the pronenesS of some fractional
critics 10 msrepresent the purport Of the things
TO which they opposed.
II is to lee observed, then. that the treaty does
not establish an American prOtectorate. or any
thing like il, over the insular republic 1t does
nothing more than 10 provide temporary re-
ownership of Dominican customs and depos-
itary of Dominican funds. under American pro
lection as far may be necessary; and it
further contains stipulation that until the
present Dominican debt has been paid no new
indebtedness shall lie incurred by that republic
without the consent of America. Beyond those
narrow limits the Dominican Republic remains
as free and independent ever. and even those
limitations are OF a temporary nature, for at
the present rate Of liquidation the public debt OF
that country will be paid off in a few years and
then the operations of the treaty will automat-
ically cease.
Ii Is also 10 be observed. and this cannot be
too strongly emphasized. that the United States
IS NOT Ddue Il SudfaItOF Tor the dominican Re
public or in any way responsible for its affairs
except 10 the limited extent OF Il temporary
financial receiver. With the general diplomatic
relations of the island have simply nothing
10 do. Other countries having dealings with
the republic, apart from the collection OF debts
will continue TO deal directly with it, rs before
Indeed, they will deal With it in financial mat
tiers, too; only there will be an American agent
IN charge Of the disbursements OF interest and
amortization of bonds though he will be for
that purpose a Dominican official, representing
the insular ard not the continental government
