HOAXING SCIENTIST
STILL IN GAOL.
PARIS, November 15. After several month’s investigation, three scientists hijve reported that Professor Dunikowjjki’s claims to obtain gold from the earth are undoubtedly without foundation. They declare that the so-called discovery is a mere hoax. Dunikowski is still in prison. Professor Paul Dunikowski, of Poland, was arrested and placed <jii trial in Paris in January, last for allegedly having obtained money from a French company by fraudently representing that lie could obtain gold from earth. Later, Dunikowski revealed his process, which consists of, roughly speaking, earth in a layer, two inches thick, on a. moving platform under electric lamps, which discharge long sparks into the earth. The earth then drops into a graphite cauldron, where it is sealed and heated to a terrific temper, ature. When the cauldron is cooled and unsealed, the earth has diminished in volume, and specks of gold are visible.
Dunikowski occupies the best cell in State Prison, Paris, and is allowed to lunch with his wife and children.
