Two years and a half ago Kiechler
and his wife were in Lyttleton, New

of the voyage toward the south pole.
The little group Of Americans and
Europeans in that lonely and remote
spot on the map became fast friends,
and on the day before Capt Scott

ARTIFICIAL GOLD

Was a Trifle Premature
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press
The absurdity of transmutation of
metals was adopted as scientific dog
ma In the eighteenth century" says
British scientist. but since 1869 GER
tain things that have been discovered
have shown that the dogma was pre-
mature. just as it would still be pre-
mature to say that transmutation will
ultimately be achieved. In 1859 the
Russian chemist Mondereeff arranged
the elements in the order of their
atomic weight, and from this arrange
ment conceived the hypothesis that
they had all been evolved from some
common original substance. For the
elements thus arranged fell into fam
lilies, each member having similar but
accentuated properties as the atomic
weight increased, and therefore the old
idea that the simple elementary sub
stances stood absolutely apart one from
another had to be abandoned. The
hypothesis that an unknown substance
or element, Professionally called pro-
tyle, underlies their differences was
suggested to account for the affnities.
Now this was a considerable revo-
luton in opinion. The discovery of
oxygen in l774 had overthrown many
conceptions previously entertained by
scientists, and 1t had come to be sup
posed that the search for the trans
muting philosophers stone which oc-

ENORMOUS AIR FLEET
Proposed Outlay for Aircraft for the
Army and Navy Astonish the

From the New York Times
Berlin.-Plans of the admiralty for the
establishment of a big aerial navy were

fleet of airships and aeropanes is to cost

years. The fleet is TO be entirely apart
from that connected with the army, on
which nearly S25 600 OO0 is to be spent
A bill providing for the appropriation
of $3.50, 900 as the first outlay on the ad-
miralty's aerial fleet was introduced into
the imperial parliament recently. 1t

OF which the elements. and. indeed, ev-
erything, could be turned into gold
and though probably good deal of
honest research was undertaken in
connection with the idea. all sorts OF
frauds accompanied it's exploitation.
But since the whole method of
m medieval science has been generally
scredited-whether accompanied by
honest or by dishonest experiments
the revival of the original substance
Idea in 1859 was a very considerable
revolution in opinion, However, the
idea of artificial gold might not have
entered the minds of modern specu-
lators at all seriously If radium had
remained undiscovered.
But it was found that radium un-
dergoes sort of spontaneous decompo-
sition, and that among the emanatons
which 1t gives off totally different
element, namely helium, is included.
Here, then, within the last decade
science has been brought to admit by
fact that a spontaneous transmutation
of elements does take place in nature
Therefore. scientists can no longer deny
that the transmutation of such elements
as lead, gold. copper, nickel, platinum
silver, mercury, cadmium, and so son
and even the creation of artificial gold
are possibilities of future experiment.
However. | think one may say that
scientists still maintain the improba-
bility of this achievement, although the
state of scientific knowledge as it
stands at the moment seems to oppose
no insuperable barrier to 1t. But one
may speculate whether universal
method of transmutation would be dis
covered. 1t appears to me that we
shall conceivably be able to note af-
flnities between certain elements and
even to transform one into another
But the idea that gold will be the first
artificial element to be constructed Is
probably delusion, even if it is not a
fraudulent de1usion.

ALI PASHA'S VICTIMS
Native Land Restored After SO Years
By Turks Defeat-Is One of the
Most Romantic Stories of the
Present Century
ALI PASHA'S VICTIMS
FROM the New York Sun.

FROM the New York Sun.
The descendants of the "fugitives of
Parga," with their goods and chattels
and even the bones of the original
fugitlves, are returning to Epirus after
sS years of exile, following the driving
of the Turk out of Albania. Such was
the meager news that came over the
gables from Athens this week, but be-
mind 1t lies one of the most romantic
btories of the present century, which
mas long been a favorite theme of writ
hrs of poetry and romance.
Parga is a rocky promontory on the
Albanian coast, fortified by nature as
well as by the hand of man, where once
dwelt 1000 happy people mostly
Greeks. The Pargiates they were called
and their name has been a synonym for
the stubborn resistance of the weak
hgainst the strong. The Pargotic spirit
can be found in modern times in AL
eace- Lorraine or in the county of Posen
where live the greater part of the
German Poles.
Pargiates, valuing their liberty high
hr than death, lived during the epoch
prior to 400 at Paleo Parga a short
histance from the rock of Farga ITSELF
They cultivated the land, herdcd their
hocks and followed other agricultural
pursuits. In 400, the whole popula-
tion of Paleo Parga moved to the rocky
promontory that overlooked their city.
And this, according to popular legend,
Is why they moved:
Earliest History
"A shepherd was searching for some
e stray sheep and after some days of
search, he came across them in a cavern
on the rock In the cavern he found
also a statue of the Virgin. On his re-
turn he had a great story to tell. His
Countrymen dropped the work they had
In hand and in solemn procession made
their way to the cavern, led by the
shepherd, who in a day had become n
prophet and leader of his people. With
great devotion the statue of the Virgin
was transported to the church at Paleo
Parga. But after a few days the statue
disappeared. 1t was found again in the
cavern having returned there nvisibly,
Il is said.
"'rhe Parglotes were convinced that this
miracle was sign of the divine will and
they built church over the cavern on
the rock and surrounded it with their hal-
ltations."
Such Is the legend which is the earliest
history we have of these heroic little peo-
pie.
In 1i01 the Pargiotes invoked the protec-
zion of the Venetian republic, which was
already in possession of the Ionian
Islands. The Pargiotes had long been
objects of Turkish hatred and in their
new city they were constantly attacked
by their enemies The Pargiotes were y

SPENCER WILL Be HANGED
SLAYER OF DANCING TEACHER is
FOUND GUILTY.
Confessed to Wholesale Murders, but
Little of Story Mas Credited
Curses and ReviIes Court.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Henry Spencer
confessed slayer of Mrs. Mildred ALI
son Rexroat, a dancing teacher, was
found guilty of murder by a jury al
Wheaton, a suburb.
The death penalty was fixed by the
jury, which returned a verdict after
little more than two hours delibera
ton. The first ballot was IL to 1 for
death penalty and the second ballot
was unanimously in favor of sending
Spencer to the gallows. Spencer was
arrested on Oct. 5, charged with hav.
ing lured Mrs. Rexroat to Wayne, Ill.
and placing her body on the railroad
track after he had shot her to death.
Mrs. Retreats body was found early
in the evening of Sept. 81.
Immediately after his arrest Spen.
Ger began a wholesale confession in
which he asserted he had murdered 29
persons, most of them women, and
nearly all for the purposes of robbery,
Although the police proved that Spen.
Ger could not have committed many
of these murders, they still maintain
the belief that he killed at least one
or two women in addition to the dane
ing teacher.
Since his arrest Spencer has insist,
ed that he be given the death penalty.
When his trial began Monday, how.
ever, his attitude in the court room
was one of such violence that Prose
cutor Hadley saw in ii a well defined
attempt to establish the belief that
the defendant was insane. The jury,
however, refused to be moved by these
efforts.
Spencer was the only witness to
take the stand for the defense. He
testified and for fifteen minutes held
the attention of the court while he
cursed and reviled his own counsel
and the states attorney.

the score or more of vessels driven
on the rocks or shore and partially
or totally destroyed. One hundred

Surgeons Discuss Radlum as Possible
Cure-Scarclty of Element
Hampers Tests.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Scarcity of raj
dunn has prevented a thorough test
of what its curative properties may
be in cancer. according to the report
made to the clinical congress of sur
geons in session here, by the cancer
campaign committee.
The committee organized to combat
cancer by spreading information lead
ing to early treatment of the disease
as soon as it manifests itself, reported
on the educational campaign of the
past year carried on by the American
Society for the Control of Cancer.
"Only time will tell what percent.
age OF the S can be cured with IA.
dunn" the report states. "The sur.
geons who have reported the best re.
suits from radium still urge early op.
Grafton whenever possible.
Few surgeons in this country have
enough radium to give it a thorough
trial. 1t has appeared that extensive
doses have sometimes cured when
smaller amounts have little effect. II
is suggested that radium should be
standardized to eliminate variations
in it's strength"
Popular articles in magazines, pub.
licity through newspapers, lectures be,
fore women's clubs, in factories and
elsewhere, have been effective through.
out the year in spreading information
on cancer.
"Seventy-five thousand persons in
the United States will die of cancer
in 1913," said Mr.. Hoffman. THE
death rate is Sc per cen of the total
mortality for persons over 45.
Importance of early diagnosis and
surgical treatment was urged by the
delegates in resolutions adopting the
report. No other procedure offers
hope at present, it was declared.
