...last a French chemist, Fourneau, and his associates have produced a substance which they think is identical with...
...when all artists may be able to obtain certified paints the quality of which has been passed on by a commission; ... if the canvases, pigments and varnishes bought by artists are not good, their pictures will not last. It is too much to expect every artist to be a chemist who can test his own pigments. ... So far as our resources have permitted we have undertaken the pioneering work in this direction...

...jelly-like substances, solutions of which pass through an animal membrane with difficulty, as opposed to other types of solutions known as crystalloids. Glue, gelatin, starch and albumen are typical colloids. Their importance has come to be recognized only in the last few years. Wilhelm Ostwald, the great Leipzig chemist, was a pioneer in the investigation of colloids, and many scientists are daily adding to the store of knowledge about them...
...potential energy to a lower, and the frequency of radiation is proportional to the energy loss in the process. This is the Einstein-Bohr law of radiation, which has been amply verified in the past five years. As to what the electrons are doing when they are not radiating, chemists and physicists on the whole hold divergent views. The chemist believes the electrons are at rest (what I call "the loafer theory"), but the physicist believes they are rotating in orbits at enormous speed. The chemist argues that such activity would soon dissipate all their energy, which is unanswerable...
