PAGE EIGHT FINDS WAY T0 | SEPARATETWO ELEMENTS Dr. Harkins Discovers Means | of Dividing “Indivisible” Elements | ik aoe | CHICAGO, July 31-—Two chemical | el nts hitherto considered indivis- | ible have been separated by Dr. wWil-| Ham D. Harkins, professor of physical | t the University of Chi-} ro, whose experiments in this field | expected to revolutionize — the theory of a century. | kins explained how he tried » chlorine, the i low used by the G they first introduced chemical war- fare, Chlorine has long been consid- ered one of the 90 odd elements, like | entbon, oxygen and hydrogen, which have defied all attempts at division. ‘These so-called elements are present in the earth and in the sun, “For five years we worked,” he said. “We tried all sorts of apparatus and used more than a ton of hydrogen chloride before we succeeded. The chemistr irch warden pipes. These pipes Je of white clay and have stems betwee . The lighter parts of the gas passe outward through the stems, The hea- vier parts remained, and thus we discovered that our so-called ele- ment, chlorine, could be separated and another time-honored theory had surrendered, Virtually all physicists and chemists in the United States cepted the results.” ‘kins then demonstrated that ry, also considered a fundamen- stance, can be broken up, Like the chlorine twins, the parts of mer- y look alike but are vastly dif- t in weight, he explained. Dr. Harkins is performing similar exper- iments with zine and cadmium to see if they too are mixtures instead of elements. “These experiments indicate, then, that there probably is only one fun- damental element instead of the 90 we have been pinning our faith on all these years,” Dr. Harkins said. “That basic element is hydrogen, and, ac- cording to my theory, all the so-called elements are compounds of helium or helium with hydrogen. But since hel- ium itself is built up from hydrogen, then all the elements are intratomic compounds of hydrogen. R. W. JOHNSON, FORMER DAKOTA . PROMOTER, HELD .. Denver} Colo, July 31—Ralph W. Johnson, 25, formerly of Valley City, N. D., who asserts that he was at one time president of the Farmers Livestock corporation at Bismarck, is held here on a federal charge of for~ rery. Johnson says he is a scion of onc of North Dakota’s wealthy fami- lies, and that he served in the air division of the army almost en- tirely throughout the World war, be- ing commended for bravery in ac- tion. He tells a thrillng story of his rise in the finanéial world after his return from the war. For three years, he says, he matched wits with manipulators of fast moving stocks and bonds and fortune smiled on him, But he adventured too far along the rosy path and was ‘‘fleeced.” $25 Count Called Irony Broke and in disgrace Johnson says he was forced to leave his fam- ily, and he went to Kansas City and from there came to Denver, where he obtained employment with the Colo- rado Home Builders association. A money order for $25 passed through his hands and he yielded to the temptation to sign his name to it, according to the charge. “ “It seems like irony,” Johnson says, “that after putting over deals that ran into six figures I should have been caught on a paltry $25 count.” . Johnson is tall and ‘handsome, and even the prospect of a term at Leav- enworth does not greatly dampen his seemingly habitual cheerfulness. He was arraigned before U.S. Commissioner Foote and bound over for the grand jury. His bond was set at $1,000. Jchnson was president of the Farmers Livestock Corporation but a short time when he was replaced by directors.

MAKE COPPER FROM CANS Try New Process in Arizona Phoenix, Ariz., July 31.—The_busi- ness of “turning tin cans into cop- per,” as the process is popularly de- scribed, is reaching large proportions in Arizona. The process which actually consists in recovering copper from ‘water through the use of scrap iron, which displaces the copper in solution, is by no means new, but has been ex- tended and improved in recent years so that several hundred carloads of tin cans, as well as large quantities of scrap iron, are now shipped to Arizona mining centers each year. At most of the mining centers in the state the process is subordinate to‘main mining operations, being us- ed merely to extract the copper from water seepage pumped from the mines. This water contains a small quantitysef copper, less than. two- tenths of one percent, in solution. The water is’run. through sluic where serap iron has been placed. Part of the, iron goes into polution and the copper is deposited in the} bottom of the sluices and is collect- ed.at intervals, The process is val- uable principally on account of the low expense involved. At Ajo, a mining camp in the south- western part of the state, the prin- ciple has been extended and the scrap iron method is used as one step in the electrolytic process of extract- ing copper from ore. The process, according to mining men, is not con- fined to Arizona mines but is also used in Montana and Utah. FORMER DAKOTAN KILLED Rugby, N.
