...negative charge. This explains why X-ray and radium treatment, in which the alpha or positive rays are screened off by a lead shield, while the beta and gamma rays (negative) are allowed to reach the diseased tissue, have had good results. Colloids of certain elements, such as iodine, sulphur, lead, mercury, have strongly negative charges, and several American physicians are experimenting with colloidal sulphur, while the treatment of Dr. Bell, of Liverpool (TIME, June 11), is based on colloidal lead...

Much important research work in chemistry has been carried on in the Wolcott Gibbs Memorial Laboratory since January last, when the building was opened. The most important of these researches have been those on Atomic Weights of Sulphur and Carbon, by Mr. C. R. Hoover; Compressibility of Complex Organic Substances, by Dr. J. W. Shipley; Heats of Combustion of Organic Substances, by Mr. H. S. Davis; Automatic Contrivances for Adiabatic Calorimetry, by Mr. H. S. Davis and Mr. G. D. Osgood; and Electrochemical Study of Thallium Amalgams and of Alloys of Lead and the Alkali Metals, by Mr. F. Daniels...
...special interview with a representative of the CRIMSON, Professor Richards authorized the following statement in regard to the investigation carried out by Mr. C. R. Hoover, on the Atomic Weight of Sulphur and Carbon...
...results, "it appears that the accepted value for the atomic weight of carbon is very nearly if not quite in accordance with these results, but that the atomic weight of sulphur as usually taken is probably a little too high. On the whole, however, the results confirm very well the values obtained in this laboratory in other ways, and are decidedly reassuring with regard to the accuracy of all the processes concerned, both in the new and the older work, The value of such confirmatory experiments is great in work of this sort, since a single method may be always...
