Twenty million tons of iron and steel rust out of use each year. Electrolytic iron resists corrosion, but is difficult to make. Chromium alloyed with iron makes "rustless iron." "Stainless" steel contains iron, carbon and chromium. But for a multitude of uses a coating over the iron or steel objects suffices. Paint serves well in many places, as does zinc (galvanizing), tin, copper, lead, concrete. Nickel does not tarnish readily, resists corrosion, has high lustre, is hard, and has long been used to plate iron & steel. In all those qualities chromium surpasses nickel. When Professor Fink and others showed...
...Tungsten lamps use 1.25 watts to produce one candlepower of light. Carbon filament lamps, which are still purchasable, give one candlepower for 3.25 watts. From these ratios statisticians figure that tungsten filaments save U. S. users of electricity one billion dollars yearly. Consumers buy 300,000,000 tungsten lamps a year...
Still another way of comforting a cancer victim was suggested early this year by the late Dr. Willy Meyer of Manhattan. He applied deep X-rays to the cancer, gave the patient dilute hydrochloric acid to offset any acidosis, and made him breathe a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Dr. Carl William Hoefflich of Houston, president of the Associated Anesthetists of the U. S. and Canada, tried the Meyer treatment on his mother, 82. Reported he last week: "The growth has greatly decreased in size and the pain is gone. In fact, my mother has been doing much...
...exhaust- are reduced to 1) compression 2) explosion. Fuel is forced into and out of the cylinders by a pump. Complex lubrication is dispensed with by mixing oil with the gasoline. That advantage largely accounted for the failure of most experiments to date: the burned oil left heavy carbon deposits. Last week a new, light two-cycle engine was described by Dick Roberts, plump aviation editor of the Toledo Blade. It had just been flown for Army & Navy observers by a Toledoan, Bert Naseef, cousin of Chicago's Mayor Anton Joseph Cermak. Invented by one B. J. Augustine, built...
