RADIUM CAN CHANGE ELEMENT.
AL METALS INTO ONE
ANOTHER

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 4.--That the
changing of elemental metals into
one another is now possible was the
startling claim made yesterday by
Professor Herbert n. Mccoy of the
University of Chicago, at the final
meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science.
The ancient dream of the separa-
ton of the elements, which antedates
the whole science of chemistry, is be-
ing fulfilled by the process of nature
and the effect of radium emanation,
it is alleged by the chemist, who read
n paper on THE INTERPRETATIONS OF
the Elements" The new theory Is
based on original investigation into
the nature of the atom and expert
ments believed to SKATER many ra-
nous scientific hypothesis.
In support of his statement that
the elements may no longer be con-
Gidered immutable, Professor Mccoy
told of the production of different
metals from elements in his own la
boratory. The presence of radio-act-
i've conditions in the atoms is held
responsible for the changes.
The chemists of the middle ages,
then, were wrong only in attempt
ing to disintegrate the metals by
processes such as were then known.
The discovery of radium is an i'm
portant link in the theory and the
radioactive changes in nature give
the best examples of separation of ell
ements. The study of radium was
likely to prove a complete solution of
the problem of transmutation, now
all but cleared, he declared.

The devotional meeting was led by
Rev. c. II. Min. At o'clock Bishop
David II. More, addressed the audi.
ence in very helpful discourse based
on | Samuel, 1857: 5, bringing the
thought that the Lord seeth not as
man seeth." That the outward exhi.
bition of greatness counts for but lit.
tie as compared with the heart love
for God and for man. His application
was in the thought that the humblest
may not only worship, but also repre-.
sent God in acceptable service among
men.
Beside the regular conference body,
a number of business and professional
men of the city were. present and
greatly enjoyed the Bishops remarks.
At 10 o'clock the matter of business
was taken up. The usual disciplinary
questions were asked. A class of six
young men were continued on trial in
the studies of first year; five in the
studies of second year; one in the
studies of fourth year. Honolulu was
selected as the place of the next an.
