II. J. Lamar Washington is a son of

of Macon, and in previous legal proceed

paid the father. Colonel Washington,
large sum for the privilege of adopting
the boy as his own son. The adoption
took place and a contract was recorded
in this county, though the consideration
was stated as '1ove and affection" Colo

COURT STOPS WIFE'S
ALIMONY WHEN SHE
TAKES NEW HUBBY

MACON, GA, Feb. 13.--It has been
decided by Judge X. j. Hawkins, of the
Dublin circuit, that when divorced
woman marries again, her first husband
is relieved thereupon Of paying her all
mony. The case is the first Of the kind
to be heard in the courts of the state,
lawyers say, and as it is going to the
supreme court for ultimate decision. a
precedent will be established.
Mrs. Emma Tharpe, of this county,
divorced A. c. Tharpe and secured a
permanent alimony award of SIS per
month, which he has faithfully paid for
several years. Recently she married T
j. Weems, of Macon, and then Tharpe
stopped paying her alimony. She
brought an action in the Twiggs coun-
ty superior court, and, when heard be-
fore Judge Hawkins, he, in the absence
OF any law, took a common sense view
and decided in favor of the first hus-
band, by holding that he was not obli-
gated TO help support another mans
wife.

RAMSAY 'S DISCOVERY
HAILED AS ALCHEMIST
DREAM TRUE AT LAST

Rhumkoff coil after time bring about
the appearance of heIium and neon.
Effect Considered Negligible.
The effect of the glass or the plat
mum upon the reaction is considered
to be negligible by the newer school of
scientists. for, after the first researches
upon the ROentgen ray both the evil
dence of Kaufman and Stokes was
accepted to show that whatever the
condition of the experiment or what
ever gases were present, the relation OF
the masses to the charge carried by the
electric ion were the same.
THE Importance of actual results OF
theories or how obtained here do not
attract so much attention as the unde-
niable opening to further discoveries
tending to establish that all forms OF
matter are merely varying states of the
same thing. That is, of ether or only
the perceptible forms of energy acting
on ether.
Professor Ramsay's discoveries Of
the transmutation of metals may now
be given more weight by the world of
savants. While he had the use OF ra-
dunn loaned him by Vienna, he claimed
to have effected the production of met
ais. sodium and lithium from copper
under the influence of niton emana-
tons of radium. He also changed the
thorium group of elementt to carbon.
His present discovery only marks the
beginning Of his researches with an
active electron which takes the place OF
radium emanation.
Next Step of Research.
The next step to be expected is the
breaking down of metals on the same
lines as have been carried out under
radium research. This offers an inf
nitely wider scope for experiment with
a less costly and therefore more elabo-
rate range of agents, As Professor
Ramsay has said with radium there
had been no chance of repetition, but
the present experiment on transmuta-
ton can be carried out by any one with
coli and battery.
II it is possible in this way to break
down electron arrangements of any one
family of metals so as To convert ona
into the other, then the same may be
expected in nickel, cobalt and chromium
groups and thus advance to the produc-
ton of gold itself and realize the dream
of the old alchemsts. 1t is improbable
that this will be attained in this gener-
fation or that such a process would be-
practical in the point of expense and
quantity. Rather the greater effects of
the results of researches in this diree-
ton would be from physical and eth
ical standpoint, confirming what has
been urged by small band Of thinkers,
that the material conception Of the
world by scientists is a falacy. Mrs,
Eddy's contention that the material
world about us is merely apparent and
nonresident will be long way vindi-
Gated"

LONDON, Feb. ia profound
world wide sensation has been caused
by Sir William Ramsay's latest discov-
ery-the birth of the atom"
Since it was given TO the world at the
Chemical society's meeting, Sir Will
liam has been inundated with congrat-
ulatory messages from all parts of the
world, and. what is more extraordi-
nary, even the man in the street is dis
cussing its wonderful possibilities.
In order to put before the readers of
the dispatches the aftermath of Ram
says discovery from the scientists
point of view, a famous scientist was
asked to write his views and conclu-
sions on the results which Sir William
claims to have achieved and which are
backed up by the corroborative state
ments of two unusually famous chem
ists--Professors Norman Collie and II.
Patterson. Here is what the scientist
says:
Sir William Ramsay's late discovery
is regarded here in quite a different
light to those sensational results which
he announced some six years ago Then
he had no collaborators and corrobora-
tive evidence was absent. He sprang
an idea totally new to the scientific
world and claimed in short the trans
mutation of one metal into another.
Now, it is urged, we have an indie
pendent confederation of his theory, not
the simple changing of one element
into another, but the building up of a
distinct element from electrons by
workers from quite separate viewpoints
to his.
Some Results Reached.
Professor Collie has never before
been enthusiastic about Professor Ram
says results; in fact, he has been for
ward in criticism of them. All of Pro
fessor Patterson's work has been di-
rected practically from the reverse
starting point-from the viewpoint OF
mathematical theory-but, all three have
found beyond dispute in their different
ways. that either, as one says, by the
vibration OF the ether by electrical en-
ergy,' or, as the other says, the bonn
bardment by electric corpuscles, mat
ter can be produced where there was
none before
This is held as method of proving
by tangible and direct research the
theory of the new school of which Gus
tav Lebon is the leading light. That
school holds that energy and matter
are one, and that the ether of the uni
verse is apparent to us as matter when
1t is whirled and pulsated into vortex
rings and that matter itself is nothing
more than ether set in violent motion.
Professor Ramsay's discovery has
shown that the cathode particles, which
Professor Kaufman has already de-
clared are atoms of electricity sent
whirling and pulsating with tremen-
dous energy. by the interruption of a
