Scientists Touch Varied Sides of
Life i'm Discussion of Problems

"It seems to me inspectors from
Washington spent too much time it
the agency Offices, and not enough time
among the Indians themselves.
The meeting of the American
Chemical society, the largest orgaui
zation Of its kind in the world, and
the most important affiliated body of
the association, was begun today.
The remainder of the scientists were
divided up into sectionsg which hold

Neon, a newly discovered gas, is
the cause of the aurora borealis. &c
cording TO statement made today
by Dr. w. L. Dudley, head of the de
partmeut of chemistry at Vanderbilt
university. before the division of
physical and inorganic chemists.
DR.. Dudley showed what he claimed
TO be the only sample Of neon in
this country. Ii requires more than
100 tons of air to get q pint OF neon
DR. Dudley has discovered that tho
friction of neon against mercury in
a Crookes tube produces yellow
light. and when held near coil pro-
duces Hertzian waves, which illumi'
nate the gas.
DIR. Dudley's conclusions are that at
the magnetic poles of the earth;
neon, under high pressure because OF
the cold, is acted upon by magnetic
currents, thus producing the aurors
berealis, a phenomenon that has al
ways puZZled scientists.
