Much water, however, has gone over the dam since the Metchnikoff table of elementary substances was formulated as the axiomatic basis of modern chemistry. Under certain rays, supposedly elemental substances have broken down into two or more other elements. Now comes the story that Professor Miethe of the Berlin Technical High School has succeeded in obtaining gold artificially by breaking down mercury into other substances...
