Gold from nickel by Chemist Sabatier...
Already, last week, the chemistry world was astir with impending events. Delegations from nine European countries, from Japan and South America, poured in. Leading his French colleagues was Chemist Paul Sabatier, Nobel prizeman in 1912, dean of the science faculty at Toulouse University. The senior chemists of many another famed university were expected...
Priestley. The ceremony to be performed in Chemist Priestley's memory at Northumberland, Pa., at the "shrine of American chemistry," was to include an address by Dr. Charles A. Browne, chief of the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry, on Priestley's life and work. Dr. Browne would tell of a somewhat indigent, stammering, nonconformist minister, born in Yorkshire in 1733, shifting about England from one small parish to another, teaching school besides preaching, and performing experiments of "natural philosophy" in makeshift laboratories. Extremely versatile, never idle, he learned all that his contemporaries knew about electricity and wrote...
...from one Harold Glendenning, Rhodes scholar, son of a mail carrier (TIME, June 7). The former Margarette du Pont, daughter of Irenée du Pont (onetime President of E.. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.-explosives, industrial chemicals) is now married to one C. H. Greenwalt, Philadelphia chemist. (TIME, June...
...Dayton, Ohio, last fortnight, Chemist C. F. Adams claimed to have converted hydrogen into helium by a process analogous to that by which he and others claim the transmutation of mercury into gold?bombarding the atoms with electricity. If practicable on a large scale, this process would greatly facilitate the preparation of helium for airship bags. It is now obtained chiefly by difficult fractional distillation of the inert gases found in certain metallic ores and in the natural gas wells and mineral springs of Kansas, Texas and the Pyrenees...
