Elmo's skill has made
an ancient craft work
for modern science -.

VoU'vE all seen glassblowers do
ing their stuff at carnivals and
fairs, making fancy little gadgets to
catch your eye and your dollars
Nowadays these skillful tricksters
have bigger and more important
job on their hands: They're making
the glass equipment so essential for
scientific experiments.
Close to the top in this hot and
sometimes dangerous profession is
the dark eyed, curly-haired young
man who works out in the research
laboratories of the Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore. He's 26-
year-old T. Elmo Maiolatesi-and if
all the pieces of glass he has blown in
the last two years were placed end to
end. .theywouldstretchf foreightmiles.
Born in Wilkes Barre, Pa. Elmo
was a kid of Is when he started
hanging around the shop of an elder
ly glassblower. He bothered the old
man so much that the latter gave
him a Job and Elmo's been a
glassblower ever since.
Evening star., 1946-09-29
Molten Magic.

He blew too hard and the whole thing
exploded. Elmo dashed out of the
lab and jumped, fully clothed, into
cold shower. The acid was washed
off, but he still carries the scars.
Toughest jobs: Spinning hair glass
to 1/25,OOO of an inch and then
winding it in spirals around piece
of copper tubing. Or blowing and
cutting a piece of glass to one one
hundredth of a millimeter long -
you have to use a 3OO-power micro
scope to see what it's all about.
"Can't Be Done"
ANOTHER tricky assignment came
up not long ago when DR.. A. H.
Corwin, head of the chemistry de-
partment. asked for three-sided
gadget of tubular glass with sealed
tube within an outer tube. Said
Elmo fatty: 1T can't be done"
DR.. Corwin didn't argue. He
tackled the intricate job himself.
The result was horrible, completely
unusable The glassblower looked at
the miserable attempt, sighed-and
went to work. In a short time he
had turned out exactly the
gadget DIR. Corwin had wanted.
Quiet. unassuming, Elmo never
has much to say until someone starts
talking about glassblowing Then it's
hard to stop him.
His idea of fun is to spend eve
nings at home blowing animal figures
for the neighborhood kids. He still
splutters about the hours he spent
blowing colored Christmas-treeb balls
for the youngsters. But his feelings
would have been pretty badly hurt
if no one had asked him to do it.
Elmo. who can do almost anything
with piece of glass, believes that
some day our clothes will be made
of it. They should have made
glass stockings" he says. There
wouldn't have been any silly nylon
lines" ROBERT H. SHOEMAKER
Evening star., 1946-09-29
Fantastic Results

On A moments notice he'll grab
a glass tube, heat part of it, then by
blowing expertly through it and at
the same time twisting. turn out an
object that won't vary 25/lOOO of
an inch from the specifications.
Occasionally the result takes on
Rube Goldberg aspect with the glass
tubes twisted into fantastic shapes,
and extending in all directions.
Glassblowing isn't easy to learn,
and even Elmo has often been cut
and burned. Once he was putting the
final touches to piece of equipment
that contained a strong acid solution.

Never before had a grade Bee

grade list-Nancy spelling serenely,
Shirley looking worried. Soon it
happened. The word excursion"

Nancy was declared the winner.
Shirley was good sport. Nancy
IS a fine speller,' she said. And

This is why the calendar date
OF the beginning of the various
seasons doesn't exactly correspond
each year but may vary within a
small range from year to year."
There are other things about
spring that you may as well know.
The highs" and lows" of air
masses speed up and across the
continent faster in spring than at
any other time of year This means
tornadoes for the latitude Of north
ern Texas or southern Arkansas,
even while it brings gentle breezes
to folks III other places.
Travelling at a given altitude
above sea level. spring advances
north at one degree of latitude in
four days, or II miles per day. So
you can see, while It's no atomic
bomb. it's faster than the average
horse and buggy.
Spring also, or so the experts
claim, climbs a mountain at 100
feet a day. There're no exact rec
ords to prove it, but when 1t reach
es the top it's generally believed
that spring Just slides down the
other side.
AS a matter of fact, In the old
days the Indians used to figure
out the correct time for planting
their corn by waiting until white
oak or maple leaves were the size
of squirrels ear. If the squirrels
had unusually small ears that year
there was hell to pay, and nothing
could be done about it.
In the Rocky Mountains sheep
were always sheared when fruit
trees began to blossom.
