2l8 CONCLUSION. 



elements will be some definite natural number, expressing 

 the number of pantogen-atoms having the same weight as 

 the atom of that element concerned. 



These numbers we might call atomic numbers ; or in 

 German, atomzahlen. 



From what was incidentally stated in regard to the 

 termination .50, it follows: 



The even atomic numbers are at least ten times 

 as numerous as the odd atomic numbers. 



The fact is all we care for here; the meaning shall be 

 developed on some other occasion. 



The Honorable Secretary of Berlin. 



Such a table of atomzahlen I sent, almost fifty years ago, 

 to the Hon. Secretary of the Physical Society of Berlin, 

 Professor A. Kronig. See Programme der Atomechanik, 

 Iowa City, 1867; p. 3; also True Atomic Weights, 1894; p. 3. 



In 1863 this same German Professor published this system 

 as his own* in a text book on chemistry and also pp. 53-60, 

 in his " Neues Verfahren " against Liebig. 



Such a table of atomic numbers, we obtain by simply 

 doubling our standard atomic weights. 



This evidently implies the Unity Matter or the composite 

 nature of the chemical elements, and their resulting from 

 the condensation of one single primitive substance, which 

 we have called PANTOGEN. 



Thus, an atom of hydrogen consists of 2 pantogen atoms; 

 C of 24, O of 32, Hg of 400, Pb of 414, Fe of 112, S of 64. 



We shall not enter upon this subject at this place. See 

 Part III of our True Atomic Weights, pp. 205-256; 1894. 



* If the brutal editorial of Crookes, in his Chemical News of May 15, 

 1896, has any meaning at all, it endorses this "new proceeding" on the 

 part of the Secretary of the Physical Society of Berlin; but most people 

 will call this act of Dr. A. Kronig a most infamous kind of a steal. 



For some years, I actually supposed that only among German 

 Scientists such moral scoundrels could be found. 



I have since learned, by experience, that I was mistaken in this 

 opinion.
