Poor boy, indeed. Don't I have to
live with him? Don't l have to see
him waste his life? And is it nothing

Walking across the room to where
Edna sat, she put her hands on a pair
OF very unsympathetic shoulders.

EMINENT SCIENTIST
FROM ENGLAND HERE
FORCHEM|STS' MEET
Sir William Ramsay Noted
for Discovery of Rare
Gases of Atmosphere.

Sir William Ramsay, X. c. B., F. r.
s., until recently professor of chemistry
in the University of London. is one Of
the most eminent scientists attending
the International congress of applied
chemistry in this city.
His name, which Is known throughout
the world, is chiefly associated with the
discovery OF the rare gases of the at
mosphere and certain work in connec-
tion with radium Nor radio-activity. 1t
was the common belief among scientists
that our atmosphere consisted of oxygen
mixed with nitrogen and carrying small
quantities of carbon dioXide and water
vapor. No one dreamed that the atmos-
phere had any further secrets for the
chemist. But Sir William Ramsay
showed that It contained five new gases,
constituting an entirely new group OF
chemical elements
In late years Sir William Ramsay 6
work has been closely associated with
radioactive problems. He WAS the first
to show what helium was. a product OF
radio o-active change. Since radum eN-
lists throughout the crust of the earth,
this explains the presence of helium in
the atmosphere.
