MAKING GOLD
By Garrett P. Seryiss

WUdE recent experiments made
to determine the possibility
of turning baser metals into gold
have at least brought out some
very interesting facts about the
distribution In nature OF that fas.
cinating metal. Gold seems to
have q wonderful power OF leav-
ing traces of itself In the most
unexpected places. It takes very
good care not to appear anywhere
in large quantities, but It rivals
the odoriferous substance musk
i'm Fits ability to scatter and de-
pd 1T tnfinitesimal particles a.
mementoes Of its passage wher-
ever It travels.
An almost unbelievable instance
Of this property Is reported by
Prof. Haber In Germany. One OF
his assistants engaged in the at.
tempt to confirm the reported
transmutation of mercury into
gold always found traces OF gold
in the substance that he was
analyzing. It was an exciting
fact, but when other experiment.
ers repeated the analysis Of pre-.
cisely the same substance and In
the same way, not the slightest
indication Of gold could be found.
Yet there was no doubt lof the
genuineness Of the specimen that
had been obtained.
Gold From Glasses
The mystery was solved by an
inquest into the personal habits
Of the first experimenter. He
was accustomed to remove his
gold-rimmed eyeglasses before
making an analysis. Then, with
out carefully cleansing his hands,
he used his fingers in placing a
piece Of pure lead in the crucible
that was employed in the expert.
nent. Tests proved that this was
the source Of the mysterious traces
OF gold found. Simple contact be-
tween the hands and the gold
rims Of the glasses sufficed to
produce an infinitesimal deposit
Of gold on the fingers, which,
again by mere touch, transferred
itself to the surface OF the lead
used and reappeared in the analy.
sis as If 1t had been a new crea.
ton produced by the processes or
the experiment.
This also illustrates the almost
inconceivable delicacy of the tests
employed in modern chemical
analysis. 1t is no wonder that
chemistry has proved itself to be
sherlock Holiness among the
invisible atoms of terrestrial mat
ter and among giant star clusters
so far away that their millions OF
mighty suns appear, all together,

husband expects to be kept right
In circulation, 1t is more like a
pebble in the shoe.
Marriage was once a blessing
pure and simple. But It will
never be simple or pure or an un'
mixed blessing again, until men
wake up to the realization that,
while you can be a little bit In
love, you can't be a little bit
married or a, little bit dead. That
- why most girls stop to think
before swapping at the first
chance to exchange the uncertain
attentions OF a lot OF men for the
certRin inattention Of one man.

his hearers a complete resume of the
anthracite coal strike in Pennsyl-
vania. He gave the causes of it.,
traced the history of the historic
struggle along to the point where a
settlement and agreement was reach

asked that they do it in a patriotic
spirit.
Other addresses were made by local
men identified with the Labor move

numerous Local Unions who make
their homes with the Central body.

A big crowd o. members and guests
enjoyed the open meeting of Newark
Federation of Labor last week. 1t
was in the nature of an informal ded-
ication of the new quarters into
which the body has recently moved,
and Immediately followed a brief bus
mess meeting.
First on the program was the serv-
ing of refreshments and photographic
music on an unusually fine instrument
furnished by Purley J. Fairall. Then
came addresses and dancing.
Exceptionally fine talks were given
by John Owens, president of the
Cambridge District United Mine
Workers of America, and E. E. Eby,
who is conducting a labor education
al campaign in Newark.
Mr.. Eby was insistent for his hear
ers to patronize the local merchants.
"Give your business" he said, ''to the
men who are jointly interested in the
general welfare of the community.
The going to distant towns and place
your orders and leave your money is
destructive to the local people. Why
make other places better at the eX-
pense of healthy progress and up
building in your own?"
