COBALT AND NICKEL

(By Gordon H. Guest, M.A.)
Cobalt and nickel are two metals
| which play an important role in
| modern civilization. They are usually

found together in ores which contain

iron, silver, and copper, in combina-
tion with arsenic and sulphur. The
World's chief deposits of cobalt are
located at Cobalt, (Ontario) and in
the Belgian Congo, while the chief
mines of nickel are at Sudbury (On-
tario). The mines at Cobalt are also
rich in silver.

Both these metals are silvery in
appearance and take a high polish.
They are slightly heavier than iron,
and melt at a lower temperature.
Unlike iron, these metals do not rust.
Sheet nickel is used in the produc-
tion of all forms of dairy equipment,
and nickel powder is used in many
chemical industries.

The chief uses of both nickel and
cobalt are as alloy metals. When
alloyed with iron, copper, chromium,
silver, or with combinations of these,
they give alloys of a very wide
range of properties and uses.

Nickel steel is very hard and
tough and is used for structural pur-
poses and to make armor plate.
Nickel-chromium steel is still harder
and is used for railway switch-points
and crossings. An alloy of nickel
and iron known as permalloy made
possible an increase in cable com-
munication from 800 to 1,500 signals
per minute.

Monel metal (67 per cent. nickel,
28 per cent. copper, 5 per cent. iron
or manganese) and other alloys of
similar composition are tough, pos-
sess high tensile strength, and do not
corrode easily. This type of alloy is
used where pleasing appearance and
resistance to mild corrosion are re-
quired, as in the construction of res-
taurant fixtures, washing machines,
and soda fountains. Rifle bullets have
about the same composition as Monel
metal. :

Other alloys of nickel are resist-
ant to heat and electricity and are
used in electric heaters and electrical
instruments Nichrome (trade name)
is a good example of this type of
nickel alloy. Invar (steel with 36
per cent. nickel) is an alloy which
does not expand.

Metallic cobalt has no direct uses,
but its alloys, which are similar to
those of nickel, are of growing im-
portance. The chief alloys are simi-
lar to stellite (trade name), a cobalt-
chromium alloy with small amounts

London Solicitor Looked After People
On Tristan da Cunha

There is a great deal of romance,
and a certain amount of disillusion,
perhaps, to be got out of being a
Robinson Crusoe in real life. Mr.
Glass, a Scots corporal in the Artil-
lery, was one of a garrison of eighty-
seven soldiers landed at Tristan da
Cunha—the loneliest island in the
1d—wh was au

ed at St. Helena. He and two others,
when the garrison was taken off, de-
cided that they would like to live the
rest of their lives there. They ob-
tained the requisite permission. They
drew up a proper constitution, where-
by ‘no member (of the island com-
monwealth) should assume any

planes for China. He spoke of the
importance of the development of
aviation as a step toward national
consolidation in China. After the
planes had been christened and the
National and Party flags removed
from the machines Chinese aviators
gave a formation and stunt flying
exhibition.

Swimming Pool For Blind

An open air swimming bath, the

opened in May. The example of Ber-
lin will be followed by other German
towns.

stayed. Mr. Glass had a Creole wife,
and as the island was a favorite
place on which to get shipwrecked
the population gradually increased.
Bachelors were occasionally supplied
with a wife by a passing sea-captain.
But it was Mr. Douglas Gane, a staid
solicitor of Gray’s Inn, who died a
short time ago at the age of 72, who
has had all of the romance and none
of the disillusion. Forty years he
has thought of Tristan da Cunha and
has played the part of Merciful Pro-
vider to the descendants of William
Glass and his friends. Destroyers,
gunboats, and an occasional cruiser
{on the South African station have
been told off from time to time to
take stores, boats, necessaries of all
kinds, to Mr. Gane’s proteges, and
of late years even “luxury liners”
have made one or two pilgrimages to
the island. Just before he died he
left a most interesting collection of
documents connected with the origin-

It would not be out of place for
me to say a few words here about

people have for getting somewhere

You will never get anywhere if you
“dabble”. No matter in what direc-

directed, you need to work hard and
to devote concentrated and indus-

control soil drifting and a bill spon-
Sored by the Minister of Agriculture
has been under consideration by the
legislature. It is proposed to provide
penalties on the owner or occupier of
land who fails to follow the practice
recommended. The legislation is ex-
pected to lay the groundwork for a
rehabilitation scheme in which sum-
ig will play a
part. There are alternative methods
offered such as summerfallowing and
cropping the land in alternate strips
not exceeding 20 rods in width ap-
proximately at right angles to the
prevailing direction of wind liable to
cause soil drifting. In the case of
summerfallowing, there should be
two strips of stubble or cropped land
and two strips of summerfallow in
each strip at least ten rods in width
and_parallel to the boundaries of the
said property.

Another course is to seed upon the
land a covering crop of grain sown
not later than August 10, using for
that purpose not less than 20 pounds
of seed an acre on all the land which
is under summerfallow.

In other cases it is advisable to
maintain a strip of natural or plant-
ed tree growth at least three rods in
width within 20 rods and parallel
with each boundary of the property.

Another general recommendation
is that where it is practicable to sow
them, farmers should be encouraged
to sow small seed plots of grasses or
legumes on their farms. These could
be sown in rows three feet apart on
suitable farms, for the production of
seed for the farmer’s own use.

British Army Order Designates
Busby For Full Dress

A British Army order, issued with

The Royal Horse Artillery have
worn the busby from time immem-
orial, but the Field Artillery and the
Garrison Artillery, before the Great
War, wore what was officially known
as the “Helmet, Universal, Home
Pattern.”

The R. H. A. retain the black sable
skin busby with white ostrich feather.
Other Royal Artillery and the Royal
Engineers are authorized to wear a
black coney skin busby with white
goat's hair plume. The full-dress
headdress of the Royal Corps of Sig-
nals—a post-war unit—will be a
black lynx busby with scarlet plume.

should be arranged since the sun is
supposed to be the best for encourag-
ing growth. But with soil, any kind
can be built up to meet the ideal of
a loose loam. Sand is better than
clay because the former is warmer
and it also gives quicker returns from
fertilizer. It should be made to re-
tain moisture, and to do this plenty
of humus, or rotted vegetable manure
must be incorporated. Digging in
strawy manure, green crops of oats,
clover or even weeds, will prove a
wonderful help both to sandy and
clay soils, especially after this addl-
tional material has rotted. If the
clay is very heavy, and the garden
area small, sand or ashes can be add-
ed. Drainage is essential. Well rot-
ted barn yard manure is_ the best
fertilizer, but of course is not al-

Under perennial screens there are
all sorts of shrubs grown for both
foliage and flowers, ornamental trees
and herbaceous perennials which will
come up from the ground year after
year. Where screening is wanted
both winter as well as summer, eyer-
greens should be chosen. Of the
vines there are the Virginia Creep-
ers, some of which will cling without
support, Dutchman’s Pipe, Boston
Ivy. Trumpet Vine, Clematis and
others.

New gardeners should guard
against planting too deep. Very fine
seed like that of the poppy and alys-
sum, for instance, is best mixed with
a little dry sand and the mixture
sown. With small seed merely press-
ing into finely prepared soil will be
sufficient. The general rule !s to
sow to a depth of three times the
diameter of the seed. This will mean
pressing in most flowers and vege-
table seeds, except things like Beans,
Nasturtiums, Peas, Corn and Squash,
which are large and should be cover-
ed about an inch and a half deep.
Bulbs or corms, like the Dahlia,
Gladiolus and potatoes may be put
down quite a piece, from four inches
to a foot.

Ban On War Materials

France Decides To Forbid Export Of
Needed Metals To Germany

A French decision to forbid ex-

which aluminum is made, served to

land-to-Newfoundland airmail and

passenger service. C. H. Glendin-
ning said large United States-built
seaplanes would be used.

One of the great seaplanes under
consideration is a Glenn Martin
monoplane which would carry 46
passengers, a crew of six, and a load
of airmail across the 1,500 nautical
miles separating Galway from Notre
Dame bay, Newfoundland, in eight
hours, 35 minutes. Mr. Glendinning
also sald a smaller seaplane con-
structed by Igor Sikorsky might be
used.

Determined to bring Germany back
to the level of Europe's great powers,
Adolf Hitler’s aggressive administra-
tion is finding the marshalling of war
materials more troublesome than the
mobilization of men.

France's ban on bauxite shipments
newspapers and experts pointed out,
must seriously hamper the self-suf-
ficiency program since Germany,
producing no bauxite herself, has
been buying half her supply of that
material from France.

A further difficulty, it was assert-
ed, is that Germany has devised an
elaborate scheme for substituting
aluminum for hundreds of more ex-
pensive metals, all of which may go
by the board unless other sources of
supply can be found.
