Problems That Await Inventors.

From Harper's Magazine.
Silver is a metal that has its problems.
The tarnishability Of silver particularly
to people who live in the smoke-enveloped
cities of the present day. is a time and
muscle consuming annoyance. It is not
surprising, then. that q prominent COM
pany manufacturing silverware should I'M
quire as to the possibility Of adding small
quantities Of other elements to silver. with
the idea OF lessening or eliminating its
tendency to tarnish. SO far as the writer
is aware, no work Of any kind whatever
has been carried on with such an idea in
view, and it thus certainly offers oppor-
tunities Of distinct promise.
1t is extraordinary. the diversity of de-
mands made by manufacturers for real
ly resistive enamel with which to coat
their wares, and equally extraordinary Is
the entire inability Of manufacturers of
enamels to respond to their demands.
One manufacturer desires an enamel for
coating the malleable iron shells used on
the Bunsen burners employed in mean
descent gas-hghting mechanisms. The
enamel used is destroyed by oxidation
and by the ammonia and sulphur found
in the gas. Another manufacturer de-
sires an enamel resistive to the reagents
used In photography: he manufactures
Photographic machinery and Photographic
trays. Still another Is desperately In need
Of q resistive enamel with which to coat
his storage-battery cells. The art OF
enameling cooking utensils is practiced
under medieval conditions OF superstition
and empiricism, and in no instance do
proximate the ideal. No enamel in the
market intended for the lining Of iron or
steel containing vessels responds to the
needs OF manufacturers.
