The Riddle OF the SibyPS Leaves.
Va A Z question as to which Cecilia

frank smile, the candor of
her eyes, confessed new tie between
us. We were becoming conspirators
within the main conspiracy, whatever
its character might be.

my relief that she had solved the serv-
ant difficulty with so much ease.
Three gentlemen representing the
suitors' trust now maintaining head
quarters at the Prescott Arms, warned
me solemnly to keep off the grass. In
other words, am not to interfere with
their designs upon the heart of Miss
Cecilia Hollister.''
She flung open fan, held it at arms
length and scrutinized the dafodils
that were traced upon it.

to change suddenly. Her beautiful

starlit twilight. I had never been so
happy as at this moment. Preposterous
as were the circumstances of my pres

smile and a moments careless survey
of the room, the girl departed, swing

roll she carried under her arm con-
1rmed my Identification. 1t was Miss
Octavia HOLSTERS Swedish maid, and
the roll beyond peradventure contain
ed the plans she had obtained at Pep
perton's Office.
The girl was well featured, neat of
figure and becomingly gowned, and as
/ watched her leave the shop the light
ness of her step, something smooth
and flowing in her movements, inter
ested me. I did not know what bust
ness she had to be robbing the Aso-
lando money drawer, but it was alto
gether possible that she was the Hope
field ghost!

told the coachman in the morning not
to trouble to meet me on my return,
and I engaged the village iveryman
to drive me to the house for hire.
There's a heap O. talk in the vii
lage,'' he observed. ''They do say the
old lady's cracked, if I may so speak
of her, and that there's ghosts in the
house. And the conduct of the gentle
men at the Prescott is most remark
able. The words passed that they're
all dippy about the young Miss Hollis
ter that lives with her aunt reckon
all rich people are a bit cracked. It
appears to go with the money. Mr..
Bassford Hollister-he's the old lady's
brother-ae's just as bad as any of 'em.

He evidently believed me to be some
sort of upper servant, and this added
to my joy of the day. With my good
humor augmented by the interview
entered the house A strange footman
admitted me, and I went to my room
at once without meeting any one else.
The man followed me with pencil
ed note, signed with Cecilia's initials,
requesting my presence below as soon
as possible, as she wished to see me
before dinner. The thought that she
wished to see me at any time filed me
with elation, and her few lines,
scratched on a correspondence card,
were a pleasing addendum to our con-
versa ton of the morning. The finding
of my assistants telegraphed resigna-
ton on my dressing table, to take eff
feet in January, had not the slightest

Substances

Modern science said: mo!
The different elements are fixed
in their nature. 1t is idle to
think of changing one into an
other. What they are they will
remain"
Then came the discovery of
the radioactive" substances,
like radium, and chemistry sud-
denly learned a new lesson. To
everybody's astonishment it was
found that atoms are not, as had
long been believed, ultimate, in
divisible particles, by the heap
ing together of which, in vary
ing numbers and combinations,
the different kinds of matter
which we call the chemical ele-
ments are formed, but that they
are composed of multitudes of
much smaller particles which re-
volve around the center of the
atom somewhat as the planets
revolve around the sun. More
over, the atoms of some sub
stances-and possibly of all
gradually go to pieces, their con-
stituent particles, or corpuscles,
escaping from their orbits and
flying off into surrounding space.
Chemists had hardly recovered
from their surprise at this star
Ting discovery before an even
more wonderful one followed
upon its heels. 1t was found
that an actual transmutation of
elements, that is, change from
one into another, accompanies,
or follows, the going to pieces
of the atoms. 1t was literally
with staring eyes that chemists
saw the "emanation" that is
given off from disintegrating
radiun gradually change its
character and turn into helium.
Radium and helium are two diff
ferent elements.
Immediately it was suggested
that here was the very trans
formation of matter that the
alchemists had dreamed of, and
that science had derided, taking
place in nature itself. But fur
ther experiment showed that
these natural transformations ap-
parently occurred only in one
direction, that is, from heavier
to lighter substances. The atoms
of radium are heavier than those
Of helium and, in all the cases
observed until recently, the re-
suit of the transmutations was
the formation of elements of
lesser mass, or composed of

Some Chemists Dispute
the Experiments
Accuracy

The result of these expert
ments is so revolutionary that
some chemists have disputed
their accuracy, but Ramsay has
recently repeated and extended
them with the utmost precaution
against error, and he declines TO
alter his conclusions, while
Messrs. Collie and Patterson, as
already said, have independently.
corroborated them.
III we assume that Ramsay is
right, we are not yet, of course,
on the point of making gold at
will in the laboratory. But when
a principle is once established no
one can fix limits to its subse-
quent development Upon the
whole, however, it might be bet
ter for the world if the art of
turning baser metal into gold
should never be discovered.
The San Francisco call., 1913-10-24

lighter atoms, than the original
elements.
This was, then, no solution of
the old problem of the alchem-
lists, who sought to transform
lighter elements into the heavier
element gold, and if that solution
was ever to be found, evidently
it must be done by reversing .
what seemed to be natures sole
process of transformation, and
causing heavier atoms to form
themselves out of lighter ones.
Only in that way would it be
possible to make gold from
baser metals, because gold is
nearly the heaviest of all.
Now, it is this very thing that
Sir William Ramsay appears to
have accomplished, not with
baser metals and gold, to be
sure, but with hydrogen, neon
and helium.
Hydrogen is the lightest of all
elements, while helium is four
times heavier than hydrogen and
neon is 20 times heavier. Yet,
when an electric discharge is
passed through a tube contain
ing only a little hydrogen the
latter is transformed into helium.
and if then some oxygen is in
troduced into the tube, neon is
formed.
The atomic weight of oxygen
is 16, that of helium 4 and that
of neon 20, so that the following
curious chemical equation repre-
sents the effects of the trans
formation in the tube, in the last
experiment:
Heliuni (4) plus oxygen (16)
equals neon (20).
Two lighter elements are ap-
parently combined to form one
heavier than either, but the sum
of the atomic weights of the two
constituents equals the atomic
weight of the product of their
combination.
Sir William Ramsay has gone
yet farther and has produced, as
he believes, argon from sulphur
and krypton from selenium.
Now the atomic weight of sui
phur is 81 and that of argon
nearly 40. The weight of sele-
mum is 79 and that OF krypton
nearly 81. SO in these cases
also heavier substances are
formed from lighter ones.
The San Francisco call., 1913-10-24

IF Sir William Ramsay is right
in the conclusions that he
draws from recent expert
ments of his-and he is strongly
supported by Messrs. Collie and
Patterson-we may, before long,
see the dreams of the ancient
which chemists have been get
which they had no conception.
The alchemists, who have been
universally derided and laughed
at until the last few years, in
which chemists have been get
ting their eyes opened, believed
that it was possible to turn base
metals, such as lead, into gold.
