CATISFACTORY operation on alab-

can Chemical Society by H. Foster

Z The research work leading up to this
achievement was directed by the United

Helium recovery, as carried on at
Government plants in Texas, results in
gas about Ga per cent purity and

same.
The development OF rancidity was
FASTENED when the fats or oils were in
contact with metals, provided there
was free access Of air or oxyeens
Some metals. however. acted more en4
ergetically than others. Metals has
tened the production Of rancidity in
fats even when the metals themselves
were not attacked.
Light was necessary for the devel.
opment Of rancidity in fats exposed to
air and not in contact with metals, but
fats stored in contact with metals de-
veloped rancidity even when protected
from light. In other words, light u the
absence Of metals appeared to exert the
same effect a. was exerted BY metals

There Is = knack in stacking the
dishes. Men have been known to do
Just this for lifetime, and their faith
ers before them. The dishes must have
an even heating, must not adhere to
nor mark each other-and, remember,
some kilns are from thirty to forty feet
high and hold ten thousand or moro
dozen pieces. Curiously shaped pieces
Of burned clay called "stilts" are placed
between flat pieces OF glazed Americ g..
ware, such as saucers and plates.
The dishes are usually fired for about
three days. Then the kiln is slowly
cooled off by putting out one gas-fire
at time-otherwise. il The kiln were
opened when hot, the cold air rushing
in would cause the dishes to break. The
entire operation of firing and cooling
occupies about six days.. making one
operation kiln week.
The dishes, now porous biscuit-ware,
are removed from the kiln to be dipped
into a composition called glaze" This
gives. them q pore filling. smooth,
glossy coat. The ingredients OF this
"glaze" are non-inflammable. So, also.
are the ingredients Of the colors used
in the decorations. for designs are
placed on the dishes sometimes with
and sometimes after the glazing, and
the ingredients are treated to make
them fuse or melt and mingle with the
pottery. 1t is interesting to know that
everything used In the making OF pot
terry is Of q mineral. or non-burning
nature.
The glaze-covered dishes are again
retired in the kiln at temperature OF
about 1900 degrees. or slightly lower.
This melts the "glaze." and converts
1t into a perfectly transparent glass,
like water, all over the surface, and
renders any pattern previously printed
