WARE GHENICALIS FOUND INSHELTER Waste of Copper Turns Out to, Be Valuable BY JORN L. COOLEY (Associated Press Science Editor) Ithaca, N. Y., Feb, 24 P—Chem iry's search for an extensive source | of germanium, one of the rarest chemical elements, has ended suc- cessfully in the scrap-heap of the copper smelter., Dr. Jacob Papish, assistant pro- | vssor of chemical spectroscopy at | il university, has found that crmanium is concentrated in the| suielter wastes which remain after cpper has been extracted from en- | urgite, @ common copper-bearing wineral. No use has been made of german- immn because of its scarcity, but the liscovery of an apparently inexhaus- | | 1 | {in those districts, | Holmes, DR. JACOB PAPISH the ele- idleness is ible supply suggests that rnent’s long period of nearing am end. “The fact that we have not known what to do with germanium,” says Professor Papish, “does not mean that it has no use. Elements of such inestimable value as vanadium and radium were once in exactly the po- sition held by germanium today. Chemists had isolated them, but their | rarity prevented the experiments ne- cessary to determine their utility. enabling the white man to work climates in which he is physiologi cally out of place, suggests Dr. J. E. Woodman of New York University Professor Woodman, head of the geology deparyment, has studied | meteorological conditions through out the world for many years. Cli- | matic intertia, which affects whites who live in the tropics, can best be combatted, he points out, by allo ing Caucasians to return to their na- | tive lands for vacations, and he thinks it not impossible that speedy. dependable air lines eventually will afford transportation for such work. ers.
