Rhumkoff coil after a time bring about
the appearance of helium 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 oe
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 ras-
dium loaned him by Vienna, he claimed
to have effected the production of met
ais, sodium and lithium from copper
under the influence of nitnn elnana-
tons of radium. He also changed the
thorium group of elements to carbon.
His present discovery only marks thu
beginning of his researches with srs
active electron which takes the place Of!
radium emanation.
Next Step Of Research.
THE next step to be expected is tho
breaking down of metals on the same.
lines as have been carried out undeS,
radium research. This offers an tnffsl
nitely wider scope for experiment with
less costly and therefore more elabo-,
rate range of agents. AS Professor
Ramsay has said. with rad1um thero
had been no chance Of repetition but
the present experiment on transmuta-
ton can be carried out by any one with
coil and battery.
IF it is possible in this way to break
down electron arrangements OF any one
family Of metals so as to convert one
into the other, then the same NAV pc
expected in nickel, cobalt and chromium
groups and thus advance to the produc-
ton Of gold itself and realize the dream
of the old alchemists. 1t is improbable
that this will be attained in this gener-
alton 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 direc-
ton would be from a physical and eth
zeal standpoint, confirming what has
been urged by a small band Of thinkers,
that the material conception of the
world by scientists is a fallacy. Mrs.
Eddys contention that the material
world about us is merely apparent and
non existent, will be a long way vindi-

Amid the plaudits Of thousands, some

left here early today for Newark, MAX
ing the first stage Of their journey by
rail because Of the almost impossible
walking conditions between New York
and the New Jersey metropolis.
A big delegation of suffragettes ac-
companied them to Newark, where an
immense crowd welcomed the pilgrims.
The Newark brigade OF suffragettes
escorted the mixers to military park,
where General" Rosalie Gardner Jones
made a farewell address.
-Four mounted policemen. with their
horses covered with blankets in the suf-
fragette colors acted as escort to the
marchers until they reached the New
ark city limits. There Mrs. Oliver
Schultz took the lead.
Strike Out Afoot.
And then the mixers, accompanied by
nearly q hundred Newark suffra gettes,
struck out afoot for Elizabeth, n. j.,
four miles away, where a luncheon in
their honor had been arranged for by
suffragettes in that city.
Three new "all-the- way through"

RAMSA US DISCOVERY
HAILED AS ALCHEMIST
DREAM TRUE AT LAST

LONDON, Feb. IA profound
Worldwide sensation has been caused
by Sir William Ramsays latest discov-
ery-the birth Of the atom"
Since 1t was given to the world at the
Chemical society's meeting, Sir Will
liam has been inundated with cOngrat-
uIatory messages from all parts of the
world, and. what is more eXtraOrdi-
nary, even the man in the street is dis
GUESSING 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. famous scientist was
asked to write his views and conclu-
Sions on the results which Sir William
claims to have achieved ana which are
backed up by the CorroboratiVe state
ments of two unusually famous chem
Professors Norman Collie and IL,
Patterson. Here Is what the scientist
SAYS:
Sir William Ramsay's late discovery
is regarded here in quite different
light to those sensational results which
he announced some six years ago. Then
he had no cola borators 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 COrroboration 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 "ever 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 a 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 10 us as matter when
it 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

City To Be Harmony Center of
the United States, Is His
Prophecy.

Atlanta's greatest future glory will
not be its crematory, nor its blue sky
nor yet its new charter. DR. Percy j.
Starnes. with his eyes open and wide
awake. says that Atlanta will be the
musical center Of the United States.
ATLANTA has the goods said this
man who put the muse in music, so
far as Atlanta is concerned. 1T has
the spirit. There is no doubt to my
mind that the city will become the fos-
tering mother of song and music.
Not Vienna of individual stars and
composers. maybe But, better than
that, a Florence for the propagation of
the joys and delight and appreciation
of music"
Latent Music A-pienty.
There are more persons of esthetic
souls in Atlanta than there are offices
in all the skysCraper buildings together
DR.. Starnes thinks. All these persons
don't know it themselves. Their art is

No trainer is going to stick by q
youngster with a promising punch more
zealously than Dr. Starnes is going to

First, there viii be prolonged mu-

DIR. Starncs, prophesying the evolution
of Atlantas greatness in song. THE
best musical talent of the country, then
of the world, will be drawn here. The
eyes of the nation will be turned to At
lanta. And Atlanta people Selling the
project with the spirit which they have
for musical development will make Il
not only a success, but a glory.
There is more natural desire and
taste for real music in Atlanta rela-

Washington, June 30-President
Wilson approved the plan negotiated
by Attorney General McReynolds and
the railroad attorneys for the dissolu-
ton of the Union Pacific merger I'M
der the Sherman antitrust law, as
directed by the Supreme court of the
United States, SO as to avoid a re-
Ownership for the great combination.
G. Carroll Todd, special assistant to
the attorney general. is in st. Paul to
represent the government and to an
nOunce its approval of the proposal
when it is presented to the United
States court there today. He was ac-
cOmpanied by H. w. Clarke of counsel
for the railroad, who will submit the
plan to the court.
The government will qualify it's ap-
prevail of the plain, it is said, by ask
ing the court to grant a reasonable
time within which the attorney gen
eral may make objections to the pro-
posal if further study develops it will
not meet the requirements of the
Sherman laws in all aspects.
Disfranchise Two-Thirds.
This latest attempt of the many
made to dismember the combination
provides for the disposition of the en-
tire $126,650,OO0 Of Southern Pacific
stock held by the Union Pacific. While
no official announcement has been
made, it is understood the plan, as
one step, provides for the exchange of
$38,292, 400 Of Southern Pacific stock
for the Pennsylvania holdings in the
Baltimore G Ohio, which are approx
imately of the same value.
The remaining $38,357 900 of South
ern Pacific will be disfranchised and
placed in the hands of a trust COM
pany as trustees and against this
stock will be issued certificates with
no voting power to shareholders of
the Union Pacific. The plan provides
for the sale of these certificates with
in a definite time and their exchange
for the stock under such conditions,
1t is declared, that it will be impos-
sible for stockholders of the Union
Pacific to acquire a substantial pro-
portion of Southern Pacific stock.
Civil Suit to Be Filed.
AS the plan of dissolution does not
provide for the separation of the
Southern and Central Pacific, officials
of the department Of justice reiterated
that Attorney General McReynolds
later on would bring a civil antitrust
suit under the Sherman law to accom-
plish that result.
