GARRETT P. SERVISS ON MOD
ERN ALCHEMY
Probably Never Shall Begin to Make Gold by Driving
Electrons and Protons Out of the Nuclei
of Mercury Atoms.

that has to be done is to drive
two electrons and three protons
out of the aluminium nucleus,
whereupon what is left becomes
the nucleus of a magnesium
atom, and 10! the apparent
miracle Is achieved.
But all this is unconVincing, II
not meaningless, unless we fist
know something about the inside
of different kinds of atoms. To
begin with, every atom consists
Of a central nucleus with a num-
Der Of eIectrons units of mega
tive electricity revolving aroun'
1t at terrific speed. The simplest
atom that of hydrogen has a
nucleus and one electron; the
most. complex atom, that Of uran-
ium, has a nucleus and 90 elect
rons. The atom of gold has q
nucleus and 70 elections. In
any atom most of the mass is con-
centrated in the nucleus, which
has a prevailing positive charge
Of electricity, against the mega
tive charge of it's electrons. But
the nucleus is not itself simple;
it consists of two constituents,
viz; electrons and protons. The
protons are the positive elements,
and they are also the chief fool
Of mass. Each proton in the
nucleus of an atom OF gold is
1000 times smaller in diameter
than an electron. and at the same
time 1000 times heavier.
Now, II the number of protons
and electrons in the nucleus OF an
atom is changed, the physical and
chemical nature of the substance
built up on that atom as unit
is altered. AS has been said
above, when a certain number OF
electrons and protons are re-
moved from the nucleus OF the
aluminium atom, what remains is
the nucleus of a magnesium atom.
This same process would, theo-,
retically, apply to mercury and
gold.
Take two electrons and three
protons from the mercury nu-
cleus and a gold nucleus would
remain. That is what some of
the contemporary alchemists"
are trying to accomplish. And,
since the feat has been performed

substances, why should anybody
think 1t impossible when 1t con-
Germs so universally important
and interesting substance as

1t is impracticable in a short
article to cover the whole ground
of the problem. Let it suffice
to quote M. Boil:
1T is only the light elements
like aluminium that have certainly
been transformed. It happens
that gold is at the same time too
heavy to be derived from an
artificial disintegration. and a lit
tie too light to form the final
term of spontaneous radioactive
transformations"

Classy Cashmberes.

Cashmere is unquestionably the
dominating note in dress goods this
season. 1t is SO called because first
manufactured in the valley of Cash
mere, in Northwest India, where it
was originally made by hand from
the soft inner hair of the Cashmere
goat. Cashmere shawls are among
the finest of hand-woven fabrics of
all time, and were made and worn in
Bible times, some authorities say as
early as 1000 years ago, but did not
become fashionable in Europe until
the end of the eighteenth century.
The cashmere we see in the stores
today is manufactured in both Europe
and America, from soft native woods,
the best grades, it is said, coming
from France and Austria 1t is
lightweight fabric, finely, twilled on
one side and very soft and pliable,
similar to the cloth known as hen
rietta, but not quite so closely WOW
en- and of a softer finish.
Besides the ail-woGi casemere,
there are mixtures If silk and wool
and cotton and wool. The texture
may vary from twill nearly as
coarse as that of serge to one so fine
that it Is almost indistinguishabl BILE,
and while, generally speaking, the
quality of the material can be judged
by the fineness of the twill, this is
not always the case, as a lOOSer Twill
may be made of fine wool
Very little of the silk k-and- wool
| mixture is manufactured nowadays;
| it can usually be had only in black
and is used almost exclusively for
| dresses for elderly women.
The all-wool and wool and cote
| fabrics come in a variety of light
shades, suitable for children's dresses,
| babies coats and for negliges and
| house gowns. Good cashmere is par
| ticularly desirable for young chill
dren's and infants apparel. as 1t

The mixtures of wool and cotton
are so cleverly made that it Is almost
| impossible for any but the expert to
tell them from the all wool. They
are practical, too, but do not have

do the all-wool materials.
| A simple test by which one can
usually tell IL there Is any appre-
! ciable amount Of cotton in the ma

Prolonged Adieus in Making Calls

should never turn her back on. the
company. Instead she should step
backward easily and either so man
age it that she gets to one side of
the door so that she can turn the
knob while still facing the group or
else she must find the knob with her
right hand while her back is to the
door. open the door and back out.
1t is the essence of bad form when
leaving to turn ones back on persons
in q room.
Leaving the House.
When she wishes to leave, a caller
should be on the alert for a break in
the conversation and rise then to bid
the hostess goodbye, who will ring
for the maid to open the front door
for the departing guest If butler is
not in attendance. Where there 10 no
maid, as. in most homes, the hostess
should accompany the guest to the
door. 1t is not considered good form
for caller to let herself out, any
more than to let herself in the home.
To continue to talk after the front
door is open is a bad break in eti-
quette. The day may be- cold or
stormy, and the hostess does not have
on wraps, as does the caller, so may
take cold, or blast of cold or damp
air enters the house. If the day is
balmy, this, of course, does not hap
pen, but, nevertheless. the hostess
may be kept from the living room too
long or be kept standing, which should
not occur.
Abruptness Disconcertinx.
An abrupt departure leaves the
hostess wondering whether anything
has been said that has annoyed or
disturbed the caller, and so any pleas
ure given by the call is marred If
the caller has had something come to
mind that calls her away and the
possibility of her being late makes
her feel hurried, she should not per-
nit such reflections to be disturbing
to any one else, least of all the
hostess.
1t is not considered In very good
form to make such remarks as "I
must be hurrying along" I'm afraid
have talked too much" II fear that
l have bored you with these details"
etc. Go when you feel you should, be
careful not to monopolize conversation,
and avoid giving minute accounts un-
less to very interested listener. All
these things any person can pay heed
to. AT the close of call be sure TO
make graceful exit, and thus leave
pleasant impression.
