THE LATEST ELEMENT.
Had Alexander the Great lived in modern times he would not have sighed for more worlds to conquer, but would merely have devoted his attention to the chemical elements which yet remain to be discovered. Since the great chemist, Ramsay, discovered Argon, the most sensational develcpment in this fascinating line is the isolation of an element named HaJjiium. The existonce of this element was detected by two Danish chemists and immediately afterwards a British chemist announced that he had actually isolated the new element. He had obtained the material from a black sand found in large quantities in New Zealand. and he suggests that the properties of the element will make it suitable for the filaments of electric incandescent lamps and for other purposes where high temperatures have to be withstood.
