Only a few atoms of kalon and meta-kalon have been found in the air of a
fair-sized room.
It does not seem worth while to break up these elements, for their
component parts are so familiar. The complicated groups--_a_ 110, _b_ 63
and _c_ 120--have all been fully dealt with in preceding pages.

There remains now only radium, of the elements which we have, so far,
examined, and that will be now described and will bring to an end this
series of observations. A piece of close and detailed work of this kind,
although necessarily imperfect, will have its value in the future, when
science along its own lines shall have confirmed these researches.
It will have been observed that our weights, obtained by counting, are
almost invariably slightly in excess of the orthodox ones: it is
interesting that in the latest report of the International Commission
(November 13, 1907), printed in the _Proceedings of the Chemical Society of
London_, Vol.
