The campaign against the mosquito

.RUSTED IRON SAVED
|. BY new INVENTION
Strapped Autos and Tin Cans
Are SaIvaged Through
Electrical Method.
special Dispatch 70 ava star

Special DlSpatcn 10 IHe otSL
NEW YORK, July 31.-Discarded
tin cans and automobile bodies, as
we'll as other forms of iron which now
go to waste on dump heaps, may be
an important source of very pure
form OF iron in the future, according
to the Engineering Foundation of this
city.
Twenty million tons of iron are said
to 60 to waste annually because OF
rust. but this can be greatly reduced
bv the use Of this iron, which scores
even higher than a popular brand OF
SOAP. for the iron obtained by these
electric methods is 99.96 per cent pure.
Plant at Niagara Falls.
It is called eIectrolytic iron, and
nlant has lust been established
at Niagara Falls to produce 1t, says
the Foundation, as a result or CO.
oneration between French and Ameri-
can investors. While the first cleo
trolytic iron was produced haI a
century ago In America, the original
product was so rough and brittle tnat
nothing much could be done with IL,
Scientists in many countries nau
been working on 1t, the greatest sue
cess being attained in France ana tne
United States. Then. 1t was Iound
that the firms in esach of these coun-
tries had knowledge and patents
which were valuable to the otner, SO
they combined forces.
The method consists in using bars
of cast iron as anodes of huge wet
batteries, the liquid being a solution
of iron chloride. The cathode, the
other terminal of the battery, con-
sists of a bar of steel, and when the
current is passed through, the iron
dfssolves from the cast-iron bar into
the LIQUID. and at the same time is
deposited from the solution onto the
steel bar.
Stripping Machine Used.
The iron deposited on the steel bar
forms a cylinder up to a quarter OF
an inch thick The metal on the
inside next to the steel, which is de-
posted first, is full of hydrogen,
which makes the iron brittle, but this
gas is removed by passing the
cylinder through an oil-heated fur
mace. A stripping machine is used
which enlarges the diameter of the
iron tube, so that it may he slipped
off the steel cathode, which is used
over and over again. The tubes may
be used as they come from the ma
chine for some purposes, or they may
be flattened or slit and made into
plates. from which other iron objects
may be made.
Since only iron is deposited by this
process, it is suggested that waste
iron from dump heaps might be re-
claimed by dissolving 1t in the iron
chloride solution and recovering it
electrolytically.
