Another exclusive is that each family burns all trash except metal. Therefore, while we do not have the dirt from as many factories as New York or Chicago, we get some from each household practically every day. We also try to keep up with the big cities in another way. We are still using coal furnaces in large numbers - even in new homes. Every little bit helps . . . Before awarding any trophies to New York or Chicago, do visit us during the heat of July or August...
...holds the B.Sc., Ph.D., and D.Sc. degrees from the University of London. Chalmers is editor-in-chief of the journal, Acta Metallurgica, and the year-book, Progress in Metal Physical...
...iron was French, the limestone Belgian, the coke came from Holland and Germany. Yet the stream of molten metal, tapped last week by Italian workmen in the Luxembourg town of Esch, was steel that belonged to Europe-solid and symbolic evidence that the Schuman Plan dream is at last reality. Six nations, producing 20% of the world's steel, would henceforth pool their outputs, eliminate tariffs, surrender control (but not ownership) of their basic industries to a supranational High Authority, headed by a dapper Frenchman who hopes to forge not merely an industrial colossus...
Germanium Crop. Dr. Hans Brauchli of Johns Hopkins University is one of many scientists who have been ransacking the earth for germanium, the rare and elusive metal that is made into transistors...
...plants that coal is made of. So Dr. Brauchli analyzed the ash of modern plants that grow in parts of the eastern U.S. where the water shows faint traces of germanium. He found that some plants, mostly from swampy areas near mountains, have as much as 5% of the metal in their ash. Apparently they "discard" the germanium, depositing it in outlying parts, such as leaves and bark. Dr. Brauchli believes that it might be profitable, in favored spots, to grow water-greedy plants merely for the germanium that they try to throw away...
