Carl Gustaf Patrik de Laval, known
throughout the world as the inventor
of the cream separator, who died last
month at his home in Stockholm, was
best known for his Aforementioned in
vention of centrifugal cream separa-
tors, but his activities were by no
means confined to their development.
He was one of the most prolific and
versatile of the worlds greatest in
ventors and in addition to his inven-
ton of the first cream separator he
achieved notable success in various
fields Of scientific endeavor and prac-
vention for separating cream from
milk by means of centrifugal chUrn
he produced an emulser, a mechanical
COW mixer, new form of lamp, a
! frictionless vessel, an explosion proof
steam boiler and a process for extract
ing metals from ore by means of cleo
trically developed magnetism, in fact
he was tireless in his activity in work
ing out unsolved mechanical problems
of every kind, and until the very last
he continued actively at work in his
experimentation of old and new prof.
ects, his brain as fertile and his energy
as unremitting as ever. Many honors
were bestowed upon Or. Laval. He
received from the king of Sweden the
cross of the commander Of the Order
of Vasa and that of knight of the Or
Ter OF the North Star He was made
. member of the Academy of Sciences
/ In 1889 and received the academy's
gold medal in 1899. In 1895 he was
made an honorary member of the Ag-
ricultural academy in Sweden and In
1904 the Engineers society OF Ger
many unanimously awarded him Q
gold medal for his pioneer develop
Inlent Of the steam turbine. Few men
have conferred more lasting benefits
upon mankind than DR.. Laval. The
lcream separator and the milk tester,
both conceived by him. though fur
ther developed by others, have alone
saved billions OF dollars to the worlds
dairy interests and largely made pos
sible the wide use OF dairy products
as We know them today DR.. de Laval
well deserved the comparison so often
made Of him with Americas great
Edison. AS the inventions of Edison
have made possible the tremendous
advance in the development of cleo
tricity and It's practical application,
20 dairy machines invented by DR.. de
Laval have made possible the equally
wonderful progress in the last TWEEN
ty-nine years in the field OF dairying
. and DR.. de Laval has rightly been
called ''the Edison of dairying.''
