Abstract
IN your translation of Prof. Mendeléeff's interesting paper on the chemical elements (November 17, p. 94) I see that he attributes the discovery of argon and its congeners to Ramsay. Am I not right in believing that it was Lord Rayleigh who discovered argon, and that it was he who gave that impulse to chemistry which Sir William Ramsay has carried forward to such remarkable results?
