New Non-Corrosive , j
Metal Revealed
rocket Device For Testing Liquor
Prefectcd—Many Ollier Mar
velous Inventions.
New York.—New discoveries of i
science ranging from a pocket
liquor tester to a new non-corrosive
metal, were on view today at the
twelfth exposition of chemical in
dustries m Grand Cental I’alacc.
The new metal Is called colum
bium and was recently isolate for
the first time by Dr. C. W. Blake,
formerly of the University of Il
linois, who in 1912 isolated another
rare metal called tantalum. The
new metal is grayish in color. Only
2.'i pounds of it arc in existence.
The liquor tester Is the inven
tion cf A M. Matheson of North
Bergen, N. J. It determines the
presence of wood or denatured alco
hol by mixing liquor with a chem
ical solution. Wood alcohol turns
the mixture pink and denatured
alcohol, yellow.
Other Inventions.
Other marvels Include a device
for opening garage doors by blow
ing a horn three times; a measur
ing instrument so sensitive it re
cords the bending of a steel rail un
dcr pressure of the little linger; a
dye which injected into the sap ol
i tree colors the wood, a two
pound ice box lor airplanes made
of Balsa wood: and concrete made
ol peanut shells.
A process whereby liuits and
vegetables may be shipped green

the dining table within a lew hours
by use of thylene gas also was
demonstrated. This same gas, it
