English Expert Believes
EdisOn's Gold Prediction
Says Precious Metal Has Already Been Arti
ficially Made From Radium.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-Commander
William A. Ballantine, one of the greatest
metallurgists in England, now in New
York, believes Thomas A Edison's pre-
diction that gold will yet be artifclally
made at a fraction of present price is
entirely possible.
Gold already has been made artificial
ly," said the commander. Sir william
Ramsey, a number of years ago, Con
verted radium into gold. He made only
a few grams of the yellow metal, but
what he made was identical in every re
spect with gold as we know it in nature.
But the GOLD Sir William made cost about
twenty times as much as the gold that
comes from the ground.
THE question, therefore, is not whether
gold can be made from base metals, but
whether it can be made for less than the

cost Of the gold that comes out of the
ground. 1 agree with Mr.. Edison that
the discovery might be made any day. I
would add, however, that it may never
be made.
Nothing, however, is more certain than
that enormous discoveries in metallurgy
are just ahead of us. The requirements
of modern industrial life leave no doubt
of this Throughout all the ages, metal
Iurgy has Jagged, although it is one Of
the oldest of the sciences. Metallurgy
has not kept pace with the development
of other sciences because known forms OF
metals were sufficient for our needs.
New forms of metals are now in de
mand, and in searching for them, no one
can tell what moment some one may
stumble upon the way to make synthetic
gold and make 1t cheaply.
