Vaporized Metal May Produce Purer Steel -A two-foot tube of quartz in the Bureau of Metallurgical Research of Carnegie Institute of Technology is producing one of the new safety factors for building and transportation. In it is produced, in pure form. a metal that forms steel at once stronger and more ductile, that is. capable of bending more without breaking. The substance is manganese.

Dr. F. M. Walters. director of bureau.

says that the purity now attained is within one-twentieth of one per cent, which is actually scientific purity. But he is attempting to find means of getting closer to absolute purity. He says that the slight trace of foreign substance remaining in the manganese may be some form of gas. To reach its present purity the manganese is vaporized within the quartz tube at a temperatuve above 2000 degrees, Farenheit, and the vapor is condensed into manganese minus the dross. Nearly all balloons now delighting the children of India are from America.
