INTEREST IN NEW GAS.
Does Not Fall Into Any Place In Pres
ent Grouping of Elements.

London. - The announcement made
by Sir Joseph J. Thomson that he had
discovered new gas which is an ele
ment of thrice the atomic weight of
hydrogen. the lightest element known,
has been received with intense inter
est by chemists
The new gas appears to belong to
the same group as helium. neon. argon,
krypton and xenon, all of which are
found in minute quantities in the air
and which have the peculiar property
of complete inertness. so they do not
form chemical combinations.
Sir Joseph Thomson's gas, which he
calls Professionally "X3." does not fall
into any place in the present grouping
of the elements, according to their
properties and atomic weights. The
same difficulty arose when helium.
neon, argOn. krypton and xenoD were
discovered. but it was surmounted by
the creation of a new group into which
they all fall.
