PROFESSOR ( Continued rum ua;i- I.) Dr. Patrick said a steel mill in Fngland is using the process suc cessfully and that the United States Steel corporation has plans under way to install the new sys tem in ne of its plants, that a New England company is manu facturing refrigerator cars based upon the use of silica gel. and that I ho Paulshoro, N.

It forms a sub stance wtnen resembles coarse sand, but contains innumerable pores so fine that they cannot be ;een under the best microscope Prom the absorbent qualities of he substance he estimates that .urfaee of these pores in one gram nf silica gel would cover half an tcre. Dr. Patrick said the new prod- i t would also make it possible o obtain gasoline from natural ?as at slight expense and benzine rom coke oven gas. These uses by no means exhaust its possibili- ies, he said. In the manufacture of steel, he aid, silica gel had increased out put 10 per cent and decreased the ost of coke 15 per cent.
