Gold ", Sea Water Less,
Due to Spots O,, Sun,
Bullion Dealers Sa,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February /. The
quantity of gold in the sea has
been reduced recently owing to
the action of sun spots, says the
annual bullion letter of well
known English firm.
1T is reported" the firm says,
that the quantity has been re-
Gently reduced from one grain to
under one e-thousandth part of a
grain per ton of sea water.
We have been informed the
letter adds. that experts In Eng
land and in America have shown
that one metal can be changed
into another at certain periods Of
radio-activity such as when there
are sun spots. At such a time
there is immense radio a ction upon
the earth, and this is said to be
the only possible explanation Of
the disappearance OF SO large a
proportion of the gold in sea
water.
Hence, though gold has been
actually recovered from sea water
at a considerable cost. it's extrac-
tion is now still less a paying
