probability of any such thing being
! done on a commercial scale is so very
remote as to hardly warrant discus
/ sion.
In a general talk on the subject
Prof. f. w Clarke of the geological
survey. said:
Nobody can say positively that any
development in chemistry is absolute
ly out of the question, but 1t is very
safe to say that any revolutionary de-
velopment is most unlikely. A revo-
lutionary development by an amateur
is even more unlikely. All we can say
is that we have not even had an in
telligent statement yet of what DR..
Lange claims to have accomplished.
and we have absolutely no details on
which to base judgment.
"Transmutation has been sought as
far back as we have any records.
Paracelsus was comparatively modern,
1t goes back even to Babylonia and
Assyria The old alchemists were not
so unreasonable as might be thought
in the way they argued especially in
view of chemical knowledge or lack
of knowledge at that time. They
argued that 1t was possible to turn
wood into charcoal. and therefore that
it ought to be possible to turn one
metal into some other
THE work of Ramsay in England is
different, of course, but that is in the
line of transmutation. He has man
aged to turn radium into helium. He
has published his methods and / have
seen his work. But there is big gulf
between laboratory experiment deal
ing with a ten-thousandth of a grain
and making any commercial use of
the same thing. Ramsay's work has
all been in the line of degradation, of
reducing material of higher atomic
weight to that of lower.
But, as | say, laboratory work and
commercial work are very different.
It is true that artificial diamonds have
been made in France. They were true
diamonds, but they were too small to
be of any use. They cost more to
make also than natural diamonds cost
to find. Some man may come along
In time and improve the process, and
1t may be possible then to manufac-
ture diamonds to compete with the
natural ones.
There Is great deal Of self-decep-
tion about such work also. Nearly all
lead contains a trace of silver and
much of the commercial copper
trace of gold. BY modern methods
this gold is extracted and 1t some
times pays the expense of refining the |
copper Many of the old alchemists
found the precious metals in this way
and thought they actually had made |
the rarer metal out of the baser.
"Of course, there has been a great |
amount of trickery in such work. II
is easy enough to put an amount of |
gold or silver into a crucible and
then claim to have made it. You can
claim almost anything that it would
be hard to disprove and impossible TO
prove. ! can claim that there is a
vein of gold carrying $1,000 a ton Nm.
