NOTES AND GLEANINGS

Exactly 1,6S6 new publications came into existance inthe United States and Canada during 1912, as announced by the American Newspaper Annual and Directory; that makes five of these enterprises launched each day. But 1850 were discontinued during the year. making the net increase only thirty.six. There were, of course, many consultations, and the net in- crease does not at all represent the increase of printed newspapers and
 periodicals circulated The annual income is estimated and publica- tions is estimated at $S6O,OOO,OOO- a million dollars day-two-thirds of it derived from advertising; this rep resents a gain in the last decade of more than SC per cent. The current Annual and Directory describes a. 3S1 publications, of which 2,639 are daily. 17.2S5 weekly, and 8,O69 month ly. These are printed in 11,629 towns. Publications in the interest of special classes and lines of business show a notable increase.

POINTS GRAFT
TRAIL CLOSE TO TAMMANY

In an amazing. If sordid. chronicle of
his relations with the police during
seventeen wears that he ran gambling
houses in the Murray Hill district and
the upper West Side, James Purcell,
who recently sustained a change OF
heart and is now an agent OF the 20
ciety for the Prevention Of Crime,
named several prominent politicians
and police officials yesterday as bene-
ficiaries of his protection money.
The police captains and inspectors to
whom Purcell paid protection money,
according TO his story. made long
roll. to say nothing of host of patrol
men whom he named as collectors. Re-
sides the police there were swarms ol
other parasites who bled the gamblers,
including politicians and men who
sought employment in the gambling
houses. Purcell testified that man

SIR w. RAMSAY CHANGES
ELEMENT INTO ANOTHER
Epoch Making Chemical Dis
covery Announced by Three
British Scientists.
tBy Cable to The Tribune.

London, Feb. S.-A discovery which
will revolutionze the science OF chcmi-
cal research and set hundreds of chem
lists working on new lines all over the
world has been made by Sir William
Ramsay, Professor Norman Collie. Of
the University College. London, and H.
Patterson, of Leeds University. 1t is
nothing less than the change of one
element into another, accompanied, It
may even be, by the creation of an Gle
ment out of electrical force.
II is the first step toward the realiza-
ton of the dream Of the alchemists who
strove to find a recipe which would
enable them 10 change lead into gold.
Professors Ramsay. Collie and Pattcr-
son, working independently of one an
other. have found that when an electric
discharge is passed through a vacuum
tube containing a little hydrogen, two
rare gases. heIium and neon, appear.
They can appear in the tube In only
one of two ways. says Sir William Ram
say: either by the transmutation oil
one element into another or by the Gre
alton Of an element from electricity.
In an interview yesterday Sir William
said: Il don't know if the discovery
will mean that it will be possible TO
turn lead into gold. It might though
probably the cost would be too great
to make il worth while.
The importance of the discovery Is
that We have deciphered another line
in the book OF nature, and opened the
door to further discoveries. There may
be commercial OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
vii, be-but those are not the concern
of the scientific investigator. We are
