e HELIUN MAY BE FROM_HYDROGEN Chemistry Test Opens New Field Berlin, Dec. 10 (#)—What sclen- tists regard as the first step in the building up of matter by human ef- fort is the result of the announce- ment of Drs. Kurt Peters and Jacob Paneth, University of Berlin chem- ists, that they succeeded in making helium out of hydrogen. The discovery, if adapted to com- merclal purposes, will revolutionize the costly method of extracting the rare helium gas from natural gas wells for use in flating the gas bags of dirigibles, it is believed. The experiments of the sclentlsts are among the first authenticated instances in the struggle of scientists to unveil the mysteries of atoms and electrons in which bigger atoms have been made out of little ones, instead of smaller ones out of big ones. When Professor Miethe and others said they produced gold from mercury, they broke down an ele- ment; but since atomic weight of helium is almdst four times that of hydrogen, the Berlin savants claim actually to have built up an ele- ment. Drs. Peters and Paneth said they placed a quantity of palladium sponge In a sealed test tube of chemically pure hydrogen. Heated to a high temperature for 48 hours, the palladium acted as a catalytic agent, producing, they said, as much as one-ten-thousandth of a cubic centimeter of helium from the hy- drogen in every succeeding 24 hours. A speetroscopic analysis con- firmed the presence of helium, which in a number of other experi- ments they said they ran off and separated in another tube. The pro- cess is not expensive. The time and labor element is the only thing, they claim, which so far mitigates against the usefulness of the process for commercial helium manufacture. Says Humans Dependent Upon Radiated Light Berlin, Dec. 10. (P—That all hu- man existence is dependent upon the radiated light of the universe: from the stars, the sun and the reflec- tions from the earth’s surfice and fom radio-active substances, was the object of a demonstration by Pro- fessor Adolph Lazurus of the Ber- lin University .at the lest meeting ie Berlin Medical Society. “Human beings,"” said Prof. Laz- arus, “move about on earth in a ‘bath of light,’ but our present state of culture tends to exclude some of the most valueable and effective of these rays of the universe. “Men, compared to women, by reason of their modern clothing, live in an extremely unfaxorable state of temperature, whereas present day women's clothing has improved the general state of health to such a de- gree that the once so prevalent anaemia among young girls and wo- The Old Reliable Store QUESTIONS ANSWERED You can get an answer to any question of fact or information by writing to the Question Editor, New Britain Herald, Washington Bureau, 1322 New York avenue, ‘Washington, D.
