SPARK PLUG ALLOY
DISCOVERY IS TOLD
Scientific Story Made Public
by Michigan u, Revealing
Search for Impurity.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 26.-The
scientific story behind discovery Of
barium-nickel alloy for spark plugs
was made public today in a report of
the University OF Michigan Depart
ment Of Engineering Research.
Years of experience had established
q belief that nickel wire has the best
material for spark plug points A man
ufacturer commissioned Prof. o. S.
Duffendack and DR.. r. A. Wolfe of the
Department Of Physics to investigate.
They found that very pure nickel
produced a much poorer spark plug
than the commercial nickel. Investi-
cation revealed that the superior spark
ing of the commercial metal lay in an
impurity of small portions of mag
neStum, which originally was added TO
remove sulphur while the nickel was
molten and which was supposed to
evaporate completely before cooling.
This magnesium greatly facilitated
the spark, but 1t also was used up
faster than the nickel. with the result
that when the magnesium inpurity
was gone the spark plug deteriorated.
The magnesium could not be distrib-
uted evenly, and so the Michigan SCI
entists began a search for substitute,
which they found in bariim. In the
heat of the spark, the report states,
barium evaporates away at the same
rate as the nickel, producing gen.
orally long-lived plug. with q strong
spark from relatively low voltage.
One result. the report states, has
been development Of processes for pro-
ducing barium in quantity and rap
idly growing use OF this metal in in
dustry. not only for spark plugs, but
for vacuum tubes.

Miss Barron as saying she would &C

flight, but the aviatrix later said she
had been misquoted in that respect.
She said she had known Ash In Holly

him in any way possible.
Miss Barron is q daughter Of VIII

Stephen Decatur, American naval hero,

Ash expects to follow the great cir
Gle steamship route from Japan to
Seattle, about 400 miles, and hopes
to complete the flight in 40 to so
hours. Upon reaching the United
States he expects to hop for Enfield,
Conn, to meet his father, Thomas Ash,
