Elemental Metals Maybe Changed
Into One as the Ancients
Dreamed, it is Claimed.

Chicago, Jan. 4-That the changing OF
elemental metals into one another is now
possible, was the startling claim made
yesterday by Prof. 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 separation
OF the elements. which antedates the whole
science OF chemistry, is being fulfilled by
the processes OF nature and The effect OF
radium emanation, IL is alleged by the
chemist. who read a paper on 1.-The Inter-
Relations of the Elements"
The new theory is based on original in
vestigation into the nature OF the atom
and experiments believed to shatter many
famous scientific hypotheses.
In support of his statement that the
elements may no longer be considered
immytable and that matter is OF but one
primitive sort. subject TO changes. Prof.
Mccoy told OF the production OF different
metals from elements In his own labora-
tory. The presence OF radioactive con-
ditions in the atoms Is held responsible for
the change.
The chemists OF the middle ages then.
were wrong only in attempting TO disin-
tegrate the metals by chemical processes.
such as were then known, according to
DIR. Mccoy.
The discovery of radium is an important
link on the theory and the radioactive
changes in nature give the best examples
OF separation of clements The study
or radium Is likely to prove a complete
solution OF the problem of the transmuta-
ton, now all but cleared. he declared.
