Streaking into the mixture, and forming the marbleized pattern, the powdered components at first can be detected in the mixture; the yellow of sulfur here, the white of zinc there. Soon however, one begins to blend into the other, and before that batch is removed, every element is completely mixed in--thoroughly impregnating every inch of the rubber with the proper elements for the purpose intended.

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Analyzing the amount of copper and lead in the brasses. In this test the laboratory checks samples of brass from the mill's production to make sure they are the correct mixture. Samples are dissolved in acid and subsequently electrolyzed. The copper is plated out on the cathode negative electrode and the lead on the anode positive electrode. The percentages of each metal present are determined by weighing the electrodes before and after electrolyzing. Chase and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio

Method for preserving sweet cream indefinitely discovered by Government expert. Washington, D.C., Jan. 26. Dairymen the world over will benefit from a method discovered by Owen E. Williams, of the Bureau of Dairy Industry, U.S. Department of Agriculture, whereby sweet cream can be preserved indefinitely in sodium chloride, common table salt. To 100 pounds of cream testing 40 per cent butterfat, 7 pounds of salt are added. When the cream is to be delivered once a week from the farm to the creamery, enough salt is placed in the cream jar at the beginning of the week to preserve the week's supply. As more cream is added after each milking, it must be carefully mixed with the salt solution already in the jar. The salt prevents souring and acts as an anti-freeze. To remove the salt, Williams dilutes the thick cream with fresh skim milk and runs the mixture through an ordinary cream separator. The cream may then be used as coffee cream or it may be used in the manufacture of sweet cream butter or in the manufacture of ice cream. 1. Mr. Williams weighs out 7 pounds of sodium chloride - common table salt - which is sufficient to preserve 100 pounds of 40 per cent cream, 1/26/39

Depth of 500 feet reached by Navy Divers in recent test of Helium-Oxygen for air supply. Washington, D.C., Aug., 8/9/38. Record dives--deep as 500 feet--have been recently made at the Navy Yard here and off the USS Falcon Submarine rescue vessel operating from Portsmouth, N.H. by divers using Navy standard diving suits and with a mixture of helium-oxygen for air supply. A depth of 500 feet was reached under simulated sea conditions in the diving tank at the Navy Yard here. Heretofore 306 feet was the greatest depth reached by divers wearing standard rubber diving suits. (1) H.H.
