...faculty of the University of Hlinois, if a report in the New Student be accurate, has ousted Lloyd Rceve from the staff of the Illinois Magazine for writing discerning sketches of the zinc industry. At the same time Editor-in Chief Baker has been deposed for publishing the articles. Significantly enough the authorities took this action immediately after a delegation of zinc manufacturers had made an informal call...
...alloy formula) public for the first time. They had, said they, laid Crodon plating on copper, brass, and steel articles with notable success. The surfaces obtained were persistently lustrous, seemed never to need polishing, were almost as cheap to lay on as nickel, had 20 times the life of zinc. They resisted heat as well as electro-corrosion* and acids. They would be found valuable when applied to milled utensils (golf clubs, surgical instruments) that have now to be made of intractable alloys to render them long-wearing and stainless...
...fact also was taken into consideration that in losing part of Silesia Germany lost many industrial plants and large iron and zinc deposits, and 42 1/2% of all German coal lying within 500 yards of the surface. Allowance was made also for the depreciation in buildings and structures and the decreased productivity of agricultural lands...

...Physical Chemistry at the University of Chicago, who earlier in the week had announced his discovery of Zeta rays, described his original work with isotopes, or elements having the same chemical structure but different atomic weights. Another American, Professor McCoy of Chicago, first discovered that chlorine, mercury and zinc are not unitary elements, but can be separated into isotopes. Dr. Harkins has split all three of them into their components, obtaining his most successful results by the use of liquid air, which is too costly to use for laboratory purposes...
