entertained those present with two cornet solos and was ac companied by c h berner 21 mr streaker spoke in part as follows ' ' the time has come in this great crisis when he who gets must give you cannot go back to the old rule of thumb method of doing things the old laws have been replaced by the new and in this new age he gets the most who gives the most in return a man is no longer his own master but belongs to the com munity is subject to its jurisdic tion and must have its welfare at heart ' ' the great engineers who are in demand today are those who build ships because ships are what is n reded tod»v the sea is an im portant factor in this world two thirds of the area of the globe is water and only those great nations dominate who rule the sea ' ' phoenicia was the first great country to rule the seas and there have since been but seven nations to whom this power has fallen each of the seven nations in turn dominated the rest of the world each lost the power on the sea and with it the power over the world as a rule a nation's downfall be . gins on the sea ; the real waterloo of napoleon was not the battle fought in belgium but the battle of cape trafalgar when our great republic re gains its sea power — and it is go ing to regain it — the men who will be the leaders are those skilled in nautical matters we can build ships up to 80,000 tons — ships which will scarcely pass through the panama canal locks as yet we have not done it but that is one of our ambitions which must and will be realized we have lost our heritage but we will regain it — and having regained it we must rule with a new idea we are here to learn how not to make mistakes i have here a piece of metal given me by a young british naval man which is a silent i witness of a horrible mistake | thousands of pieces like this shot all over halifax for five miles when that man on the french ship mixed the signals america will save herself as a 1 result of this horrible war the j thing we need is power — sublime i power — not only physical power ! but spiritual as well as much as 1 we want it we want even more the j power of the child of galilee may god help us to make good -! individually and as a nation may our flag be just as red as you and i ! are willing to fight for justice just ■as white as you and i are willing to : be clean and pure and just as blue . as you and i are willing to be . true mr streaker is well known by • the student body at lehigh having i been here on several occasions and • a large attendance greeted him sunday at the monthly meeting held in coppee hall on saturday evening the chinese students club was ad dressed by dr c s fox of the de partment of romance languages and k t koan 20 dr fox favored the club with an illustrated talk on france he showed many beautiful slides of those magnificent cathedrals in dif ferent cities some of which have been destroyed during the present war mr koan's subject was the importance of commercial edu cation in china refreshments were served f g breyer of n j zinc com pany addresses metal lurgical society outlines methods ascendancy of united states in zinc production probable after war an interesting talk on the vari ous phases of the zinc products in dustry and its present-day prob lems was delivered by frank g breyer at the meeting of the metal lurgical society last thursday evening mr breyer who is re search chemist of the new jersey zinc co of pennsylvania described in detail the manufacture of cer tain zinc products and gave his opinion that after the war the united states would be able to compete successfully with the world in that line of production the substance of his talk follows : the thing that determines largely the process of manufacture of zinc products is the character of the ore the principal zinc ore zinc sulphide is found largely in missouri wisconsin colorado and montana and is associated with galena the first metalurgical pro cess after milling is roasting by this process the pyrite which goes wi i.',1 .', blendie in many eases is sepa rated when the ore is made meg netic the sulphur dioxide evolved is used in making sulphuric acid next the zinc sulphide is roasted to the oxide zinc sulphide differs from pyrites in that theoretically it evolves sufficient heat to carry on the reaction as a matter of fact however no furnace is sufficiently thermally insulated and the zinc sulphide must be roasted by means of oxide heat the ore is put on a series of firebrick hearths or muffles and is conveyed from one to the other by a rake mechanism a counter current of air passes through the last two or three hearths and goes to the con tact acid plant up to within a few years ago the mesh of the ore was all through 10 ; or 20 inches but with new milling practice ores that were regarded as too refractory are now worked by flotation consequently one of the big prob lems now is how to handle the fine zinc slimes the dusting loss is also considerable and aside from the loss of dust the dust goes over to the contact acid plant and causes inconvenience the result of the roasting process is zinc oxide and about 40 per cent of sulphur the production of sulphuric acid is an important item in a zinc plant and the chamber and contact pro cesses are still co-existent in the contact process the mixture of sul phur dioxide and oxygen is led through an elaborate cooling and mechanical cleaning^system — boxes of quartz and coke dust settling | chambers etc it then goes to pre | heaters where it is heated to about 400-500 c and in passing through screens of platinum black and coursely granular magnesium sul phate it is catalytically converted into sulphur trioxide it was rather long before the con tact process became a commercial success because there was no way of catching the sulphur trioxide although the greater part of it was soluble some of it was lost in the form of a fine mist which was not soluble in water it took a long time to discover that the mist was soluble in a solution of sulphuric continued on third page st paul's society holds first meeting addresses by rev mr kent dr mitman and dr emery last thursday evening in
