beryllium, while the fourth pair repeats the second, with the ovoids re-arranged. The internal divisions of the double sphere of the central globe are the same as in calcium, but the contents differ. The "cigars" in the external segments are replaced by seven-atomed ovoids (7 _h_)--the iodine ovoids--and the external segments contain five-atomed triangles (7 _i_). Thus 1,568 atoms have been packed into the beryllium type, and our wonder is again aroused by the ingenuity with which a type is preserved while it is adapted to new conditions. STRONTIUM: 4 funnels of 368 atoms 1472 Central globe 96 ---- Total 1568 ---- Atomic weight 86.95 Number weight 1568/18 87.11 The corresponding group, headed by oxygen--oxygen, chromium, molybdenum, wolfram and uranium--offers us another problem in its first member. OXYGEN (Plate VIII, 4). This was examined by us in 1895, and the description may be reproduced here with a much improved diagram of its very peculiar constitution. The gaseous atom is an ovoid body, within which a spirally-coiled snake-like body revolves at a high velocity, five brilliant points of light shining on the coils. The appearance given in the former diagram will be obtained by placing the five septets on one side on the top of those on the other, so that the ten become in appearance five, and thus doubling the whole, the doubling point leaving eleven duads on each side. The composition is, however, much better seen by flattening out the whole. On the proto level the two snakes separate and are clearly seen. OXYGEN: Positive snake { 55 spheres of 2 atoms } { + 5 disks of 7 atoms } 145 Negative snake " 145 ---- Total 290 ---- Atomic weight 15.87 Number weight 290/18 16.11 CHROMIUM (Plate VIII, 5) "reverts to the ancestral type," the tetrahedron; the funnel is widened by the arrangement of its contents, three spheres forming its first ring, as compared with the units in beryllium and calcium, and the pairs in strontium and molybdenum. Two of these spheres are identical in their contents--two quintets (7 _f_), a quintet (7 _j_), and two quintets (
