THE experiments communicated to the Chemical Society recently by Prof. Collie and Mr. Patterson, the lectures delivered by Sir J. J. Thomson, and the discussions which have taken place in NATURE, on the possible synthesis of the chemical elements have aroused great interest outside England. So far as I can ascertain, opinion is much divided. For my own part I may perhaps be permitted to say that I have always entertained the idea of a possible formation of elements of the helium group from other gases by integration, just as these are formed from other elements by disintegration (see Chemical News, 1896, and Berichte, 1899). When I put forward this view objection was taken that 4H is greater than He, 4.032 instead of 3.99, and the same kind of objection may be raised to-day that He + O, or 3.9 + 16, is less than Ne, 20.2 (unless Ne is a mixture of gases).
