To Keep Metal FROM Rustimg

conferences. A particular study has
been made of wandering currents-that
is to say, the electric currents of street
railways, which leave their regular
conductors to commit all sorts of mis-
deeds-and the necessity of avoiding all
contact between metal pieces and gas
or water pipes has been insisted upon.
This is just contrary to what engi-
neers recommend to make buildings
safe from lightning. Wherever an cleo
trio current leaves a metal piece. If
water is present, the iron is attacked
and rusts, at least If the preca ution has
not been taken of covering the metal
with lime. Another means of protect
ing iron consists in placing it in con-
tact or in connection with block OF
zinc buried in the ground. the iron is
protected so long as there is any zine
left. All our skyscrapers of metallic
frame construction are protected by
this means.
Another authority, Camerman. present
ed paper of Importance to the Con-
gress of the International Association
for the Testing of Materials. held at
Copenhagen some time ago. He en-
deavored to determine the best cover
ing for application to metallic surfaces
for their protection, and after very
close study of the qualities that this
covering should possess, and of the
properties of raw linseed oil, with a
detailed discussion of the advantages
and inconvenience offered by the diff
ferent varieties of boiled linseed oil, he
reaches the following conclusion:
The pigments that have worn best on
metal surfaces are those of white lead,
iron minimum. 1ead-minium (red lead)
and graphite. The best color to be rec
at present is iron-minium or
graphite mixed with boiled linseed oil,
with litharge. or peroxid of manganese
The minimum or graphite must contain
no resinate of manganese, and a very
small quantity of turpentine is added
The workman judges for himself the
of pigment to be used.

anxious navigator.
A few years ago at an aeroplane meet

of about sixty-mile speed, got caught.

its head to the blow. making with ref
erence to the wind its full speed. but
with reference to the land it was blown
backward at the rate of ten miles an
hour.
1t is plain that If vessel headed due
north has to cross tide running due
east or west the vessel will not reach
a point due north of the starting place;
and it is equally clear that IL the navi-
gator knows the force of the cross tide

carry him on his true course. And
this. If there be no sailing points, is
not altogether easy.
But what is he to do If he has no
sailing point and cannot tell the force
of the tide which is drifting him out
of his course? The answer is that he
must for short trip take pilot who
knows the tides. and for voyage de-
pend upon a navigator who takes OBJ
servations of the astronomical bodies
with suitable instruments, consults ad
justed thermometers. and. with the aid
of nautical tables. determines his lati-
tude and longitude on the surface Of
the ocean.
1t has not yet been demonstrated that
from a swiftly moving aerop1ane OBJ
servations can be taken with any sat
isfactory degree of accuracy. and in
any event the great and uncertain alti-
tude above the surface adds another
complication to the work.
Thus the navigator of aircraft over
the sea can detect no landmark on the
waters. can recognize no familiar tide
such as the gulf stream; cannot deter
mine his drift; can make no reliable
observations from high altitude to de-
termine his position. and even at times
must sail through impenetrable clouds.
Nevertheless, he must meet PROPOSE
ton like this:
An aIrship which can cruise at sew
enty miles an hour for eight hours is
to scout for a hostile fleet four hours
across strip of water fifty miles
wide. and at the end of that time re-
join the fleet. which. in the meantime.
would for three hours have been
steaming due east at twenty knots, and
there await the return of the scout.
The aeroplane starts in a gentle breeze,
which soon after becomes stronger, and
comes out of different quarter, while
all the time the wind in the higher al
titudes has been puffy and blowing
from still another point of the COM
pass.
What chance on earth or the seven
seas has a quartermas ter or a chauf-
feur of finding the fleet?
But the problem is not quite COM
plete. A ship is navigated on hori-
zontal plane, the surface Of the sea
but the aircraft scars in a vertical
plane as well-that is. the navigator
must take into consideration that his
airboat travels with the pitches of the
wind. up or down as well as laterally.
In consequence. although his instru-
ments may indicate that he is travelling
at certain rate relatively to the wind.
the undulations of his cratic way are
so great that the distance between any
two points of his course Is very much

under such circumstances it is easy for
the best pilots to lose their bearings.
In Europe more than once the best
men, those of the front line. have
dropped bombs upon towns of their
own or a neutral country, supposinG
that they were attacking hostile places
fifty or a hundred miles distant.
One of the things which battle the
pilot is the fact that unless he can see
landmarks by which to get his drift
he cannot determine either the direc-
ton or the velocity of the wind in
which he is flying He is the creature

less than the actual distance he has
travelled in flying from one to the
other.
But this pilots troubles are not yet
over: the suppose that after he has been
scouting an hour he sights the object
that he was looking for-the hostile
fleet. whose admiral Immediately dis
patches several very swift aircraft to
intercept and destroy him before he
can report to his fleet the location OF
the hostile ships which he has OBJ
served.
The pilot knows that his supply OF
petrol will not carry him to shore. and
his only hope of escape is to find his
own ships. Is it a quartermaster's a
mechaniclan's. a chauffeurs. an cleo
trician's job to locate 1t; or does 1t call
for a navigator of experience and OF
the highest degree of professional
training?
But our pilot. sending out wireless

troubles than that of handling his craft

n enormous amount Of material
IN has been published on this sub
ject during the past fifteen
years, principally in this country and
Great Britain. Where directions how
to do a thing keep appearing in such
volume, it is a safe conclusion that 1t
has not yet been done satisfactorily.
In fact, one is told that the metallur-
gist who shall devise a sure way to
protect iron and steel from rust will be
assured of a large fortune.
The opinion of one authority, Blount,
is that no preventative is so good as
lime for steel constructions and for
rails in tunnels, and none so good for
rails as thorough covering OF hot tar.
The preservation of bridges and other
constructions of metal is exposed. as
on railroads. to the corrosive fumes or
the locomotives. Another authority on
these points. Archbutt. has asserted
that none of the substances tried by
him gave so good results as ordinary
painting with linseed oil and red lead.
He regards the method of applying the
paint as more important than the paint
itself. Great care must be taken to
remove every trace of rust, to use no
drier in the paint and to inspect the
spots.
A third authority, Cushman. thinks
that the metal containing fewest i'm
purities is the one that Is least likely
to rust The protective action of the
zinc coating in the case of galvanized
iron is localized at the points Of con-
tact of zinc and iron. That Of the tin.
in the case of tin plate. is not real II
there is the slightest interval in the
continuity of the tin layer. There are
almost always holes in the layer OF
tin, and although they may be micro
scopic. they nevertheless. offer en-
trance to the enemy. To show the pres
ence of these holes a process may be
used consisting of covering the timed
surface with an calculated solution OF
gelatin, containing a little red prussi-
ate. Wherever there are holes in the
protective tin layer the contact of the
solution with the iron beneath produces
blue spot, due to the formation OF q
special kind of Prussian blue. known
as 'Turnbull's blue"
To Cushman is credited the discov-
cry of the fact that the addition to the
paint of slightly soluble chromate in
creases the preservation Of the metallic
iron. This chromate must be produced
in a non-acid medium, and must con-
tain no soluble impurities that might
aid the corrosion.
This question has been discussed In
terestingly before American chemical

were taken to the cabin just as soon as
it was completed. There they were
stored for Mr.. Colemans use next sum-
mer. Before the fury of winter storms
began the sturdy little cabin was an
chored with heavy cables.
During the last five weeks of Mr..
Coleman's solitary watch last fall he
reported thirty forest fires, commu~i-
eating with the protective organization,
which sent out a squad of firefighters
before the flames had accomplished
material damage.
Last summer Elijah Coleman lived
for awhile in a tent on the top of
Mount Hood. Life in a tent is not
one long delight even in the summer
il one is hemmed in on every hand
by huge drifts of snow and ice. as Mr..
Coleman was. Every pound of food,
all his fuel and other necessities were
brought by him to the mountain top
quite without aid of any kind There
he lived absolutely alone with the
comfortless glaciers, exposed to the
penetrating cold, enduring countless
privations and hardships. and weather.
ing the violence of terrifying electric
al storms.
The only means he had of protect
ing himself from the intense cold was
by the heat from an oil stove. The
stove was used for both heating and
cooking. In one months time he
burned fifteen gallons of oil. One of
the federal forestry men left Mr.. Cole
man late last summer. when the latter
talked with some seriousness of max
ing himself cyclone cellar in the
snow.
A "fumacole," or "a volcanic. OPEN
ing from which issues sulphurous
fumes and heat sufficient to cook an
egg" was found near the top of the
peak. but not sufficiently near Mr..
Coleman's station to permit of his
using 1t.
In spite of smoke and fog. the at
mosphere clears enough in the early
mornings and late evenings to enable
Mr.. Coleman to get a magnificent view
for many miles around.
The station commands one of the
most beautiful regions in America, and
a region which represents huge values
in not only timber but also watershed
