Abstract
“TO-DAY many chemists and physicists think that the chemical atoms of the last century are no longer to be considered as indivisible. In that case the old Greek name ‘atom’ is no longer fitting, because it denotes indivisibility.” The above sentences are quoted from the presidential address of Prof. T. W. Richards, published in NATURE of March 27.
