''SYNTHET TIC GOLD
aNOT PROFITABLE
Cost of Producing Precious Met
al BY German Method is De
clared Prohibitive

NEW YORK, July 29.-Scientists
and mining experts, who have been
hearing for 10 years shout dis
coveries in Germany for making
gold out of lead and other metals,
were not greatly stirred yesterday
by cable message from Berlin to
the effect that Professor Miethe, Of
the Berlin Technical School had
succeeded in obtaining gold from
quicksilver at cost of $2,164,000
a pound.
"There is nothing impossible
about it on the face of it." said Or.
w. L. Severinghaus, a physicist, of
Columbia University. Rutherford
has shown that you can knock one
element out Of another by striking
an atom blow with an X-ray, and
we know that one radioactive Gle
ment breaks up to form another.
Many hold the idea that the april
cation of high temperature would
cause such disturbance to atoms
as to disrupt them and produce new
substances. In two doubtful ex-
periments, one at the University 81
Chicago and one at Princeton, it
has been reported that helium atoms
were produced by heat from heavier
atoms.
while there seems to be nothing
intrinsically impossible about the
report, things of this kind have beer
ANNOUNCED so frequently without
foundation that no one is inclined
to accept them without a good dea
lof evidence"
A. H. Hebbell, managing editoi
of the Engineering and Mining
Journal, said yesterday that reports
of the manufacture of gold from
base metals in the furnace Of Au,
gustus Lehman had been pretty wei
discredited, but that the report that
Professor Miethe had produced golC
from quicksilver was not to be dis
missed SO lightly.
"He is a conservative man and
there is a possibility that the report
of his work may have something in
it, but it is not Of much practical
value if it costs more than $1,000
900 a pound to make the gold"
If quicksilver could be cheaply
transformed into gold the currency
systems of the world would be dis
turbed pretty badly, as quicksilver
common compared to gold. Quick
silver yesterday commanded price
of $73 for the 75-pound flask, or
slightly under 81 a pound, while
gold was worth 1891 a pound. Quick
silver production fluctuates, but
every year it is from four to seven
times that of the gold production.
