Many Uses of Graphite.

Few people begin to realize the range
of uses to which graphite is put, says
the Scientific American, for it is an
essential though minor ingredient in a
great number of unsupported connec-
tions as common as that of lead pen
ellis With many of these the graphite
man is himself unfamiliar, beyond the
simple fact that this or that manufac-
turer purchases from him, for in such
uses it is apt to represent part of a
secret process.
Lead pencils, lubricants, electrical
conductors and black pOlishes and
paints are prominent conventional uses,
but it is liable to be present pretty
much anywhere that anti-friction, un-
fading blackness, heat resistance, cleo
trical conductivity or noncorrosiveness
Is a desirable property, and the fact
that without graphite the derby hat, as
we know it could not be. is an exam

Unlike the maritime peoples OF the

easement from the colonizing OF the

shine by catering to the. worlds de-

Moreover, they have had to bear the
brunt of oriental onslaught. The South
