SANDLESS GI.ABN IS'NOW
BEING MADE AT CORNELL
Germanium Is the Substitute. Ex
tracted From Crude Zinc Oxide, and
Has Unuattb! Refractive Qualities.
Ihica, X. Y„ April Sand
ies* glass is being made in the chem
istry* laboratory at Cornell Univer
sity. ,
The substitute for sand in the pro
cess of manufacture is the dioxide of
germanium, a rare, mysterious and
costly element which Professor L. M.
Dennis, head of the department of
chemistry, is now able tb produce in
quantity after years of Experimenta
tion. ’ ~.
Whether the new’ glass has proper
ties that will'make it of great value
for optical purposes is Btul undeter
mined. but the results thus far ob
tained indicate that it has unusual
refractive qualities.
Chemists are still puzzled by ger
manium. They frankly admit that,
until it wrh put to work making glaeß
they had not known what to do with
it. Even now they are confident it
has other and more important uses
to which science soce day will apply
it. At present Professor Dennis’is
studying its compounds with a view
to determining whether the clement
haw medicinal properties that will
make it of inestimable value to man
kind.
Germanium is extracted from crude
zinc oxide. In crystalline form it is
a glossy, flaky substance resembling
vzinif, hard and extremely brittle. It
is worth many dollars a gram, and
Cornell exhibits the largest mass of
the element ever assembled, a round
piece, beautifully crystalline, about
the size of a silver dollar and weigh
ing 104 grams.
It has been learned shat etude zinc
oxide, can be heated with strong acid
under such conditions that a volatile
compound of germanium of high pur
ity distills over. This is decomposed
by water so as to produce pure ger
manium oxide, a white powder. Pro
fessor Dennis further discovered that
ihgots of the pure metal could be ob
tained by fusion tis the powder under
ordinary salt.
Laboratory tests disclosed that a
gram of germanium could be extract
ed from a pound of zinc, and the
production has since proceeded on
this Dfcsis.

Washington, April 20.—Pan-Amer- 1
iean Congresses of Journalists, like
the one Washington has just been
having, are good tilings. All kinds of
Pen-Ambrican blow-outs which in-j
duo# representative North and Latin i
Americans to visit back and forth are i
good things. y I
China is a good deal better under-1
stood in this country than most of
Latin America. This isn’t to say
that Chino, either, is at all well un
derstood 'here. Latin America un
derstands the United States a little
better than the United States under
stands Latin America, but not much.
Os course this is highly undesir
able. It means international bun
gling, which makes bad work.
* »
- The reason Latin Americans know
more aboufitS than we know about
them is that a good many of them,
of the upper class, have visited here
a time or two —generally not for long
enough to find much out, but at least
they have some sort of ah idea of the
way we look. *
There's alßo quite- a sprinkling of
Latin American students in North
American universities, and these real
ly eome to a pretty fair understanding
of us.
But precious few North Americans
get further into atin America than
Havana, Panama and Mexico, and we
send no students to the southern re
publics at nil.-- As for North Ameri
cans who know Mexico, they’re the
worst olf Os the bunch, for they
imagine that the people farther down
the line arc like Mexicans, which
they're not a bit.
