Cold in Quicksilver
Don't Invest in That Idea.

is announced that Professor Meths of Berns Technical
School, manufactured gold from quicksilver cost Of
thing more than two million dollars pound The cost at first
wouldn't mean anything Costs are reduced Aluminium
used to cost almost much silver Now is almost as
cheap the clay from which it is taken gold could really
be made by exploding the atom otherwise the cost Of
production would soon be cut down.
However Dr. George Kunz American scientist points
put you must be suspicious Of any gold found quicksilver
That metal naturally draws gold to it. Put your watch in
cupfu Of quicksilver and in short time you will have
nothing left but the steel works All the gold will have melted
like in hot tea The gold obtained from quicksilver
may have been first gathered up by the quicksilver in it,,
past history
But gold and other called primary and Interchangeable
eements are merely arrangements Of eectron revolving
around nucleus within the atom and bombardrnent Or
explosion Of the atom any process can the
atom to suit might have gold cheap plus the
cost Of the process But do not let that ure your confidence
In our currency There is long step from theory

GARRETT P. SERVISS ON VERSE

that last verse, with its names
and figures OF Miltonic grandeur
stalking majestic through the
meter, like elephants in harness!
Mr.. Melone has written a book
called Mature - Human and
Real" filled with verses Of this
kind. He doesn't find it selling
as fast as he thinks it should.
Perhaps IL he had written 1t IN
free verse;" which, however, he
disdainfully describes as that
weird, elusive combination Of
words, the book would have
received more attention, while
conveying less intelligence.
He may comfort himself with
the reflection that--as far, at
least. as appears from the verses
/ have quoted above-he has done
far better work than the great
majority of those who have un.
dertaken to wed poetry to science.
He has succeeded in introducing
the personification, and the touch
OF imagination. which poetry re-
quires without offending the sci.
entific sense Of reality.

like song. Unquestionably also
they are more palAtable in this
form, and their relations are
more plainly seen.
The story Of the geologic ages
takes on q dramatic aspect, when
the Moon ID presented as the
spectator, watching the develop.

the days Of "the great reptilian
beasts" the shapes OF fear" the
appalling monsters Earring the
ground with their mighty tread;
and then, after their portentous
passage, the coming OF pfimordial
man, and his wonderful evolu.
ton. The stroke of the poetic
imagination Is felt in thes per.
sonification Of the Moon, and the
sense given to the reader Of her
watchful presence following with
him the development Of the great
drama. Truly this kind Of poetry,
though Ste rank may be humble,
IL worthy Of attention.

KR. JACK MELONE, ''the
N poet laborer," Of Chicago,
AVA kindly sends me some OF
his political compositions on &C.
lestial subjects. Some Of them
seem attractive enough to give
warrant for his statement that
this form Of poetry IL needed
by the American people at
large" Among things which he
does me the honor to say have
been inspired by writings Of
mine, are the following striking
verses. which certainly have the
merit Of fastening scientific facts
in the memory with the golden
hammer of metrical diction:
20 Luna, goddess OF the night,
Your face is fair to gaze upon.
You linger till the solar light
Proclaim the advent Of the
dawn.
"You saw the Neolithic man
Emerge from crude. primordial

Into the type whose mind may
span
The limits Of the Milky way.
Perceived the tribes OF hill

That watched the storm.clouds
rushing by,
Evolve into the supermen
Who race with eagles thro'
the sky.
Long e'er man dwelt upon
this sphere
The great reptilian beasts you
spied:
The pterodactyl, shape Of fear,
That nested on the mountain
