...being tried in the West on two other very common ores, brucite (Mg(OH)2) and magnesite (MgCO3). When either of these is baked it forms magnesium oxide, and the trick is first to vaporize this by heating it to 3,800° F. in the presence of carbon and then cool it to around 380° in 1/1000th of a second with a blast of cold gas. During the heating, the carbon takes the oxygen away from the magnesium, and during the cooling the magnesium is precipitated as a fine powder too fast to recombine with the oxygen. This...
...carbon monoxide gas brought quiet to the child. From time to time the parents went into the room to look at their son. Finally the mother took it from the crib, walked up and down a few times, hugging and kissing the child. It was dead...
Manganese is used in small amounts by the copper, glass and dry-cell battery industries; but steel uses most of it; about 13 Ib. per ton. Its function in steelmaking is to collect the stray traces of sulfur which all carbon steels contain. The sulfur tends to combine with the iron to make iron sulfide, which collects in films among the crystals of hardening steel, prevents cohesion, makes it brittle, so that it cannot be forged and rolled. Manganese takes the sulfur away from the iron and the manganous sulfide which is formed collects in small globules throughout the metal...
When the Government started its suit, Alcoa had in fact no competition in the U.S. But defense needs and RFC loans have since put one competitor, Reynolds Metals, into the aluminum business, with three more-Olin Corp., Bohn Aluminum, Union Carbide & Carbon-on the point of joining the fray if Jesse Jones's Defense Plant Corp. ever gets around to signing the papers. Nevertheless the Government will appeal Judge Caffey's decision to the Supreme Court...
Died. Dr. Rudolf Schoenheimer, 43, eminent biochemist; a suicide by poison; in Yonkers, N.Y. With the aid of heavy hydrogen and heavy carbon he pioneered in tracing the uses living bodies make of the constituents of food...
