Most prominent doubter of Bardstown's favorite story was the late Young E. Allison of Louisville's historical society, the Filson Club. Historian Allison's points: 1) Louis Philippe was notoriously stingy; it is doubtful whether he would so generously remember Bishop Flaget who presented a purse of other people's money. 2) Bishop Flaget called on Louis Philippe in France between 1835 and 1839, was received coldly. 3) The Congressmen who introduced the tariff-exemption bills may unwittingly have been quoting rumor; besides a report of the Congressmen's speeches there are no governmental...
Three years ago Professor Fred Allison of Alabama Polytechnic Institute was studying various elements by the magneto-optic method when he got unexpected results which led him to suspect the existence of a hydrogen isotope whose nucleus was twice as heavy as that of ordinary hydrogen. Not long afterward Dr. Urey and two associates concentrated enough of the isotope to identify it. He estimated that heavy hydrogen was present in ordinary hydrogen gas to the extent of about one part in 4,000. He named the new isotope deuterium...
...third isotope of hydrogen whose atomic weight should be approximately 3 as against deuterium's 2 and hydrogen's 1. Two members of Dean Lewis's staff reported finding it last autumn (TIME, Nov. 20). But they used the same magneto-optic method by which Professor Allison predicted deuterium, and among scientists the worth of this procedure is debatable. In England Lord Rutherford (who calls deuterium diplogen and its nucleus the diplon) bounced deutons against deutons. Each collision produced a proton and something new of atomic weight 3. But cautious Lord Rutherford would not say whether...
