The same treatment was accorded
by the press Of all the cities which
Wolfson visited. In Kishinev. the So
claIiStic organ. "Kemara." printed an
article concerning his visit. and the
official paper, "Spatul Tzareye," un-
der the title; a Prominent Visitor"
gives an account of his visit and OF
the banquet rendered to him by the
journalists there at which there were
also present the Jewish Alderman.
BlueStin, representative Of the Bess-
arabian minister, and the former war
minister Of the Bcssarabian republic,
Pantea.
At Chernovitz, the German papers.
"Dos Volk". "Morgcnblatt," and
"Tagcblatt," printed long articles
about Wolfson's visit.
But while the general press sought
to make n favorable impression upon
him and to win his favor, the Rouman-
ian Jewish papers in particular pub
iished especially friendly articles con-
cerning Wolfson, and made use Of his
visit for general Jewish political
ends.
The Jewish paper "Egalitaka,"
writes under the heading. "a Cham
pion," on thu life Of Wolfson, and
gives the following Characterization,
Of our co-workcr He speaks from the
heart, clearly, precisely, and is an
agreeable talker He impresses one
with his intelligence, and with real
knowledge Of the questions with which
he concerns himself. When one con-
verses with him. one recognizes him
as a man Of great force, and one de-
plores the fact that such as he has
had to forsake our country, Roumania.
We have many other such Roumanian
Jews abroad. But this loss has at the
same time brought us good, for they
are the best champions Of Jewish
rights for Roumania."
The paper then goes on to express
its gratitude for Wolfson's visit, and
It's hope that he will continue to use
his great influence and brilliant cap
abilities in behalf Of the Roumanian
Jews and their rights.

ca Sc might be. When this remarkable
device was attached to the buoys and
beacons, whether in the tropics or in
the Arctic, the moment the sun rose
in the morning the rods would begin
to operate and shut off the gas, and
when the sun went down at night the
rods would again operate and the gas
would be turned on. This doubled the
length of operation Of every beacon

ssry and in hundreds OF other ways
too numerous to mention.
The great war was the first war in
which acetylene was used and the part
It played was not only great but OF
incalculaole Importance, and now that
the war Is over, schools are estab-
lished by Government aid In which
our returning soldiers can learn the
interesting, well paying and extremely
useful trade of welding not only to
their own benefit, but to the benefit Of
the community.
Calcium Carbide and the Nitrate
supply.
A few OF the important uses of acety-
lene have been enumerated, hundreds
Of others exist, but there is q peculiar
use OF calcium carbide which has not
been mentioned. All of the scientific
world and most well informed people
are aware that nitrogen is necessary
in the production of food plants.
Nature does not resupply the soil with
nitrogen as rapidly as it is taken out
by man. Therefore a time comes when
the nitrogen must be added to the soil
duced. Up to recently the principal
source of supply of nitrogen has been
great deposit OF sodium nitrate found
In the deserts of Chile. Before the
great war it was said that the quantity
Of nitrates required TO meet the worlds
necessities would, IL the rate Of con-
sumption continued, be exhausted In
twenty-five years. Nitrates are not
only the basis OF agriculture but they
are also the basis Of our explosives,
and because Of this the worlds supply
of nitrates has been subjected to a
prodigious reduction by the war.
While tn industrial use OF these
nitrates is OF primary Importance to
civilization the question has arisen in
scientific minds as to what will be-
come of the world il nitrate supply
should become exhausted. The answer
has been found in calcium carbide. If
calcium carbide at a high temperature
is subjected to current of nitrogen
taken from the air, Of which of course
the supply is ineXhaustible, a chemical
change occurs by which the calcium
carbide takes up the nitrogen and
forms a calcium nitrate which can be
used in the place of the natural nj
trates found in Chile. 1t has been well
said that the discovery OF calcium car
bide would ultimately aid materially
in saving the world from disaster be-
cause through IL the necessary and
vital nitrates can be secured in the
prodigious quantity which the world
must have to survive. Existing plants
can now furnish an adequate supply
of nitrates to our country in case Of
another war and continue the progress
OF civilization by supplying them in
the proper form for both agriculture
and industry.
New fields for carbide and acetylene
are being discovered each year, and
as all the uses are helpful to mankind,
from the illumination of the farmers
homo to the welding of the broken
shaft. from the lighting of the harbors
and the ocean highways to the mining
OF coal, from the energy behind and
within the shrieking shell OF battle to
its great ultimate task of providing
the world with food. calcium carbide
is a benefcent addition to the worlds
important substances.

in physics that IL two metal rods

changes the rays into heat. but the one

Acetylene. the Perfect illuminate.
When it became commercially pos
sible to produce acetylene in guam
titles sufficient for its multitude OF
uses, the natural suggestion was that
it might be used for illuminating
purposes. Mechanisms. known as
generators, were manufactured by
means of which calcium carbide was
dropped into water and the resulting
acetylene piped to the point of use. II
pure hydrogen is ignited 1t burns
without giving off much light, but
II the hydrogen contains particles Of
carbon these particles are first heated
TO Lncandescence and are then con-
measurably beyond the reach of the

ing the gas richest in carbon, there

liancy is ten or twelve times that OF

The acetylene flame was so brilliant
that it soon occurred to the Govern
| ments of the world that 1t could be
used most effectively as an aid to
navigation. Plans were devised for
using this wonderful gas as n source
of light for beacons. buoys. light
houses and lightships. Tho fact that
an immense quantity OF acetylene
could be stored in q small space in
cylinders, provided 1t was compressed
under proper conditions and absorbed
| in a proper solvent, made II possible
to charge a beacon or a buoy with
enough acetylene to last considera-

covered that the time could be length

ism which would automatically turn

the dominant means OF illumination
in the nongaseous coal and all metal
mines throughout the world. So i'm
portant indeed is acetylene In the
mines Of the country that the United
States Fuel Administration during the
war cut all red tape to facilitate the
manufacture OF carbide that the min
ers might not be deprived, in the coal
mines especially, Of an illuminant
which could not we'll be replaced.
Acetylene is unique among the
hydrocarbon gases with which we are
familiar in that 1t possesses a Pc
culiarity, an individual characteristic
which properly utilized opens a revo-
lutionary field OF usefulness. When
ecetylene is formed during the chemi-
cal reaction between the calcium car
bide and the water, tho carbon and the
hydrogen in coming together to form
acetylene take up heat whereas in
almost all other chemical reactions
heat is given Off. Aoetylene, there
fore. contains n considerable amount
of latent heat, held between the MOLE
cules which, when released by the
burning Of the gas, adds much to the
temperature OF the fame. The pres
ence of this additional heat in the acct
ylene flame accounts still further for
the brilliancy Of acetylene as an illum-
inant. but it has another field OF far
greater usefulness. When pure oxy-
gen is burned with acetylene the tenn
perature. which would be perhaps
1000 degrees Fahrenheit were 1t not

molecules, is raised by this extra heat
to over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit This
added temperature makes the most re-
fractory metals melt in the presence
OF the oxyacetylene flame where they
would yield to none other. This latent
heat in acetylene is called "endother-
mic energy" and because acetylene
contains this endothermic energy it
Is called an "endothermic gas"
Joining Metals by the Oxy-scety-
Iene Process.
II was soon proposed to bring pure
oxygen and acetylene together, by
means Of a device known as the oxy-
acetylene welding torch, for the pur-
pose OF melting and joining metals.
When the long series OF experiments
brought this theory into actual prac-
| tice, II was found that metal working
establishments OF the world had a new
and remarkable tool. Great castings
which had been cracked and rendere u
useless and which would otherwise
go to the scrap heap were repaired
by literally melting the metal together
again and il there was deficiency of
the metal, new steel was added. When
the work was done. by passing a file
across the break the metal was found
to be practically homogeneous and OF
the same character as the original
casting. Immediately, the metal work
ing world was startled by the achieve
ments Of the new process OF welding
and new uses were daily discovered.
| Now, throughout the world. in every
foundry. machine shop, in all the
ship yards. in all the railroad shops
and everywhere that metal is manu-
featured or repaired, the oxy-acetylene
| flame is utilized to simplify and
| shorten the work or to render useful
again the broken parts OF all classes
of machinery as well as to manu-
facture new articles with greater
rapidly, economy and certainty.
