New Kind of Water.

A NEW kind Of water. unknown IN
: nature. may be created in the
laboratory, Sir j. ]. Thomson, discoV-
ercr of the electron and master of
Trinity College, Cambridge, England.
predicted in his recent lectures at the
Franklin Institute before a selected
group of about 900 leading American
physicists and other scientists.
Water Is made up OF two atoms cf
hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
as every high school student knows.
Prof. Thomson and many others since
his pioneer work on the composition
of matter have been determining
how those atoms are arranged. In
recent years a theory of the struc
ture of water has been worked out
that allows the Arrangement OF the
hydrogen atoms symmetrically in
several ways. This is not entirely
satisfactory, because such an ar
rangement should make water nom
polar in it's action toward light,
while in reality water let's light
through ii more easily in one way
than another. Now Prof Thomson
suggested that the atoms of ordinary
water are in the form of twisted
cube, giving only one possible sym
metrica! grouping of the hydrogen
atoms. This arrangement theoreti-
cally would have properties that
would fit the sort that we use and
drink every day. Tho new or allo-
tropic form of water would have the
form of an ordinary cube. The new
form and ordinary water would be
related somewhat like diamond and
ordinary black carbon. which are
both carbon. If it is found he pre-
diets that it will have large
amount of energy and low stability
and. unlike ordinary water. it Will
conduct electricity fairly well.

LASKER AND MARSHALL
DRAW AFTER 1O4 MOVES

NEW YORK, March 21.-After 104
moves the third game Of a series of
chess between Frank J. Marshall of
New York, United States champion,
and Edward Lasker of Chicago. who
seeks the title, was declared a draw
early today.
Each had a queen left and, in addi-
ton. Marshall had a passed kings
rook pawn. Lasker offset this, how
ever. by threatening perpetual check
rook and pawn ending seemed
likely when the game, continuing
from Monday. was resumed last night
after thirty-six moves. Rocks were
exchanged, and there was a race with
passed pawns. Both players queened
pawns on the fifty-frst move, Mar
shall being left with two pawns to
Lasker's one. Each player then cap
tured pawn. and Lasker carefully
avoided an exchange of queens, which
would have meant defeat

teen games will be played at Cleve-

walked three and allowed a single
counter.
The feature fielding play of the
contest was contributed by Dick

deep center and shared a drive from
Dixon's bat. This feat just about
saved Brillheart's hide, for there were
two Braves on base at the time Sam
Rice got three of the Nationals eight
hits and Goslin collected two.
