phate liquor has been increased considerably
by plating the tubes with chromium.
Although it is true that the use Of chromium
plate is rapidly increasing, 1t cannot be said
that chromium prospers at the expense Of
Nickel since it has been found that more
satisfactory chromium coatings ON steel are
obtained If q coat Of nickel is applied first.
AS the more durable properties Of chromium
develop much wider field of usefulness than
that of nickel alone, the increased utilization
of chromium for plating tends ON the whole
to increase rather than diminish, the require
ment for nickel The increasing demand for
chromium-pate articles has resulted in I'M
proved technology, and one Of the most inn
portant developments in the industry has been
the reduction Of costs through the installation
OF automatic equipment and the increase In
the size Of the plating units. Voltages were
lowered to 6 volts or less and current denst-
ties decreased TO IS ampereS per square foot.
The expansion Of the chromium plate in
dustry in Europe Is evidenced by the fact that
in Germany % new plating works have been
established since 1925,
Chromium tanning has developed rapidly
during recent years, and most Of the light
colored leather is now tanned by the use Of
chromium salts. The reagent most commonly
used is basic chromium sulphate, which Is
usually prepared from sodium bichromate.
The principal chromium pigments are
chrome yellow and chrome green. Chrome yell
lows are compounds Of lead and chronic acid;
they vary in color according to composition,
chrome orange being one Of the more inn
portant varieties of the yellow. Chrome green
is mixture Of chrome yellow and Prussian
blue and is marketed as &C. p" and as com
mercial." the latter containing flllers. such rs
barite and silica. Other chrome pigments, Of
minor importance, are chrome TED, zinc
chromate, barium chrOmate and chrome oxide
green.

GLIDING or painting the lilly might have
some sense In 1t after all, whether the
poets artistic sense Is offended or not, II the
metal industries may set precedent. 1t seems
foolish to coat the shiny, cleaning surface Of
nickeled wear with the shiny coat Of chromium,
yet because of the much harder, wear-re-
sistant surface furnished by the chromium the
shining continues great deal longer.
Most of the chromite that enters the chemi-
cal industry is used in the manufacture of
sodium and potassium bichromate which in
turn are the basis for the production of
chronic acid, basic chromium Sulphate,
chromium pigments and many other less i'm
portant chemicals according to Lewis A. Smith
of the United States Bureau Of Mines The
principal uses Of this group OF chemicals are
In the tanning, electroplating pigment, dyeing
and printing industries. Up to the last few
years, chronic acid had slight commercial i'm
portance, because its use was limited. The
development of chromium plating processes, in
which chronic acid plays an important role,
has brought this acid into prominence.
The use of chromium In the electroplating
industry has increased substantially. Because
of its hardness, resistance to corrosion and tar
nish, bright silvery luster. and high refec-
tivity, chromium plate is rapidly being adopted
in the automotive industry. The use of
chromium plate is also being rapidly extended
to plumbing fixtures, builders hardware, soda
fountain equipment. coffee eolanders silver
ware guard rails and the metal-novelty trade,
where its Silvery luster and merchandising
qualities make 1t very valuable. Chromium
plate has recently been applied successfully to
engraving plates, gauges, tools and dies. where
its hardness is of chief value.
In oil refineries 1t was found that the use
Of chromium plate reduced the cOrrOsiOn Of
cracking chambers treating high-sulphur oils
Likewise, in the paper industry the life Of
tubes used for the evaporation Of waste sui

House," built by George Washington"
Kno10n as ''Ihe Generals House, > Planned
and Built BY the First President and
Burned BY the British in 1914, Its Un-
marked Site Noz0 Is Included in the Urea
of the Proposed ParkeOay From the Capitol
to the Union Station

Meanwhile, Washington was slowly getting
a white elephant on his hands The building
was costing him more than he had expected,
and tenancy at fair rental did not look
promising But, as he said, Having put my
hand to the work, must not now look back"
From the first, it was common talk that this
house was to be taken by the well known
Philadelphia hotelkeeper, John Francis. He
proved dilatory even after Washington wrote
him to "say yea or nay to make 1t q bargain
or otherwise" AS the building neared compile
ton washington considered other possible ten
ants. He had learned that annual rentals In
the prospective Capital averaged about seven
& an half pr. cent" Of the building cost, with
some little added for insurance and 30 forth.
Upon such terms he was willing to rent his
house. But by this time he was much more
willing to sell 1t. He was destined not to DO
either.
One day early In November, 1899, Washing
ton made q visit to that struggling settlement
on the Potomac. II only we could have .

fuller account Of that day-the man seeing his
last Of his little namesake city. Though sim
strong, straight and vigorous, he yet had but q
month and a few days to live.
He seems to have gone about good deal,
but as usual, had little to say. 1t was not an
Inspiriting visit. There was big clearing in
the Potomac woods, with half-opened streets
radiating from It. and some indications Of
croSs-streets. In that central clearing stood
square structure of stone, which was one wing
Of the Capitol as then planned and all that
was then built. On those stump-dotted streets
were a number of houses, discouragingly far
apart and lost to each other In the woods
Washington naturally turned with most inter-
est TO that one on North Capitol street. But
now, just when we have every right to expect
quite q talk about that house, he says merely
that he viewed" 1t. Not word as to what it
was like or what he thought Of 1t. We have %

order to vision even dimly what he viewed"
that day.

Jew bits of the National Capitals historic
= soil so deserve perpetual recognition IN
deed, this one seems to have an especial claim
upon Congress Doubtless Washington'S house
accommodated more members Of Congress, was
more nearly congressional home, than any
other private building In the infant Capital
How many cooked hats and ribboned queues
and high stocks and long coats and fancy
waistcoats and knee breeches and silk stockings
and buckled shoes have passed In legislative
dignity between this house and the little Cap
itol. That is, in as much dignity as might be
through q half-cleared wilderness where the
streets were chiefly stumpS, blazed trees and
some marks on o map. rs.-
And now, how should the site Of Washington's
house be permanently marked? Surely some
way may be found well in keeping with the
park plans How would an especial piece Of
planting do? Nothing could be more to the
great mans Mking-lover Of growing things,
companion Of the trees.
At all events, may that historic spot, there
In the shadow Of the dome Of the Capitol, mot
be left unmarked and forgotten.

that Poe was making q serious
contribution to criticism when
he wrote his famous essays,
THE Rationale of Verse" and
THE Philosophy of Compost
tion." He wrote his poems in
accordance with certain esthet-
ic laws, which appears to have
their basis in mathematical
principles; order, repetition,
symmetry, equality. Poe asks
us to examine crystal. We
are at once interested, he says,
in the equality between the
sides and the angles of one of
its faces. Equality of sides
pleases us; equality Of angles
doubles the pleasure. BY pre-
senting to view a second face,
in every respect like the first.
our pleasure is doubled; by pre-
senting a third face. our plea
sure is trebled, and so on. In
fact, Poe concludes that the
pleasure experienced. if it could
be measured. would be suscep-
tible of exact mathematical re-
lations-at least, up to certain
point; and beyond that there
would be a diminution in the
relations considered.
A remarkable study, based on
similar, ideas, has been carried
out by the brilliant mathemat-
ical physicist of Harvard, Prof.
George Birkhoff. He has made
extended studies of certain
mathematical figures designed
according to certain established
principles, and in particular of
the structural outlines of vases.
In lectures and in published
papers. he has sought to for
mulate certain mathematical
principles underlying and con-
ditioning some of the simpler
art forms. Unity in variety is
one of his guiding principles:
and he agrees with the defini-
ton of the beautiful set forth
by Hemsterhuis in the eighteenth
century; beauty presents the
maximum of ideas in the
minimum Of time.
