Learning About NITROGEN.

Recent experiments with the alpha
ray have led to the discovery, says the
English Mechanic and World of Sci
ence, that nitrogen, which for a CEN
fury and half has been regarded
as an element. may not be an element
at all. but compound of hydrogen and
helium. 1t is an interesting coinci-
dence that Doctor Dalton, according
to the now accepted account, was led
to his theory of the atomic structure
of matter by study of the physical
properties of the atmosphere. Sir
Ernest Rutherford, by experiments on
the same gases, now sees in each of
Daiton's atoms of nitrogen an atomic
system in which two distinct elements
play a part, and nitrogen itself APP
parently is to disappear as an element.
