'r' mil led to believe that ordinal",
n silver consists of groups of parti

"'molecular stability. Some o
n these groups are capable of disin

0 the forin of argenturmn, and thi
0 latter appears to be altogether un
stable. At the least provocation
d ho to speak, it reverts into silve
I" or advarces into gold. This seem
'* to explain why the chemical anal

riably shows the presence of boll
^ silver and gold.''
"8 Dr Em mens said it is agree<
d among chemists that the differenc
11 between gold and silver is a differ
l* ence of s|?ecitic gravity. It is no
8 color, for Corey Lea of l'hiladel
h phia some time ago treated silve
in a way to give it a yellow colo
! so that it looked like gold. Chern

I was as yellow as gold, and by hi
'*j process Dr Emmens says ho ha
r" | given silver the same si>ccitic grav
' ity as gold. He has simply pack
11 ed the silver closer by beating
and whether ho has converted sil
ver into gold or rot, he has pre
duced a metal which commands
