 John Champion, an Englishman was the first to produce zinc in a commercial way in Europe. He took out a patent for his process of 'dis. tillation downward" as it is called, in 1739. and in 1T40 built plant al Bristol. It has been said that Cham pion's methods were Chinese. and that one Dr. Isaac Lawson had made a journey to China expressly to strdy the problem. It is not certain that this Is true, but zinc. wns actually produced in small quantities. although the enterprise was not a great sue Sew, for the bulk of the zinc used continued to come from the Far Fast for many years afterwards.
 The genius Of Champion blazed the way for further attempts on the part of his countrymen and others, all though no permanent results were achieved immediately. His ideas bore fruit about 60 years later when the knowledge of his accomplishments penetrated to .Silesia, and resulted in the development Of what has since been known as the "Silesian Process"
 Johann Rnhberg Of Plcss.
 Kammerassessor Johann Ruhberg of Pless had studied the art of zinc making in England. and brought Champions secret to Silesia. This man built the first zinc furnace in. silesia in 179s or 17o9. There is some doubt about the exact date At about the same time Bergrath Dillinger, Of in the Duchy of Carinthia, devised practical method of smelting zinc, and between the efforts of these two men. and their inven- tions, the foundations of the indus try were laid in Central Europe.

 It. Is interesting to note that M. Mosaelman died the same year that II. w. Crawford took out his patent for the hot galynnizing process, which demonstrated the value of zinc as a protective agency against corrosion. Sixty per cent Of the zinc now pro- duced Is used In the galvanizing in- dustry. 1s per cent goes into brass products. Zinc now ranks third among necessary metals. being eS- ceeded in importance only by iron and copper.
 Why Zinc Protects IrV From Rust. The use of zinc to protect iron pro- ducts against rust is based upon cer- tain scientific principles which are still the subject of profound study, but which we shall explain in every day language without recourse to techni- calities.
 A zinc coating on iron or steel in- wolves an application of the princi- ples of an electric battery. To put 1t as simple and clearly as possible: given the presence of moisture any two different metals placed in con- tact will set up galvanic action. That is. they actually generate m electric current. One of the metals is always positive. and the other negative, and as in the case of battery the posi- tive metal is destroyed
 When the two metals are iron and zinc. the zinc is electro positive to iron, and the iron electro negative to zinc. When placed in contact. there fore, the zinc will be slowly but sure ly destroyed by this mysterious action, but until it is destroyed the iron can- not rust.
 A Simple Demonstration.
 A simple way to demonstrate the truth of this principle is to place a jar containing a weak solution of sulphuric acid. If kept apart both metals will be eaten away by the acid. On the other hand if you con meet the iron and zinc by. means of a copper wire which. passes outside the solution. making sure that the wire is in good metallic contact with both metals, an electric current will start through the solution of acid, running from the zinc to the iron. Under this the iron will be protected perfectly from the action of the acid. while the zinc will be eaten away more | rapidly because it is electro positive | to the iron.
 More Practical Applications.
 This attribute of zinc as protec- tive agency in connection with iron | or steel is recognized and utilized in other practical ways besides galvan- zing. Slabs of zinc are placed in 'team boilers to protect the tubes

Prospects for fast swimming TEEN
are bright at Swarthmorc College with
the development Of five letter wcarcrs
and the addition to the squad of Chas.

who holds an array Of cups and cham

From the time he won recognition
three years ago at an interschOlaStiC
meet at Swarthmorc. to the breaking of
the interscholastic 100 yard record at
the University Of Pennsylvania last
year. Crownover has had brilliant
aquatic career.
The Sackett Cup for the 100 yard
dash has been n his possession for two
years. The Asher Cup for tho 40
yard fell to his lot for the third con-
sccutive season last year in the annual
meet at Lafayette.
Beside the interscholastic record in
the yard event. Crownover holds
the Middle Atlantic States record in the
300 yard swim. having won the event
in 1920 and 1921. covering the distance
in 6m. SO 2-5s,
Crownover was discovered and
started on his swimming career by
Coach Jack Stevens, of Girard College
For the last two years he has been
training under w. T. Bernard, of the
same institution. 1t was here that he
swan anchor in the Harry Malpass
Cup relay team, which established a
record for the Philadelphia college. In
the intcrscholastic meet at Penn last
year his team missed the championship
by the narrow margin of points, but
Crownoyer covered 100 yards OF water
In 80 dos, establishing the national
interscholastlc championship for that
event.
The Garnet schedule includes such
herd meets as Rutgers, on January II I;

Princeton, Navy and Lehigh. Swarth-
