MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1927 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE THREE Beryllium, Lightweight Metal, May Soon Rival Aluminum's Usefulness Several Valuable Qualities Seen by Chemist of Cleveland During Study **Material (Series)** Cleveland, Ohio; Ole Miss; T-7-Arylip frames and lightweight pistons may be made from beryllium or its alloy, and this hitherto unknown metal may soon achieve the household familiarity that aluminum has won during the last two or three decades. One quality which Doctor Cooper points out may render oceilium especially valuable to the automobile industry. It expands under the influence of an external heat, so can cast iron. Thus when used for light pliants inside the iron cylinders of automobile engines it will present far less engineering difficulty than do the present types of light pliants, since a rate different from that of iron. Beryllium is a metal about a third lighter than aluminum, but is very much harder, scratching glans easily, like hard steel. According to H. S. Cooper, industrial chemist of this city, who has been conducting extensive experiments, it is one of the hardest metals, and its elasticity. It is over four times as elastic as aluminum, and 25 percent more elastic than steel. And while aluminum corrodes easily on contact with salt water, beryllium shows very high resistance to this as well as to other metal detergents liquids and acids of light gray or yellow color, it takes a polish bit that of high grade steel18. Beryllium ores are found abundantly both in this country and abroad. At present they are handled out of feldap mines in New England by hundred tons of waste. The most common type of ore is known as beryl, polished crystals of which are sometimes worn as semi-precious stones. It is chemically related to aluminium and easily forms alloys with it. One of these, consisting of 70 percent aluminium, is one-fifth lighter than aluminium, far more resistant to corrosion and in tinrole, strength far exceeds durability. Hawaiian Ranch Largest Island People Show Interest in Races and Rodeos (Science Survey) Horace Hilliard, a Far West must look to its hawkes, for already Hawaii claims to have the largest cattle ranch existing in present-day American. This is the Parker ranch on the island of Hawaii, located on Kauai and elsewhere in Kaioa and spreading over an area of 500,000 acres. Here is produced most of the fresh meat consumed in the territory. Other big livestock projects are the ranches of Hainaka in Hainalupe, on the island of Maui. In addition to cattle raising, the island ranchmen are interested in breeding good horses; they are breeders for both Hawaiian and mainland use. As an outgrowth of the cattle ranching business, the island people have become much interested in roping animals that is fast becoming popular is the roping and bad-ducking of wild mountain steers. A new record for roping was recently hung up on a fence to attract visitors. One tied an animal in 32 seconds. One of these island cowboys is now priming himself with the hop of entering several roping and riding events at the next Padden洲 round. New York, September 16 — no far less has been an exception—often healthy year, judging by figures just issued by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Statistics Show Death Rate Lowest in Years Power people have died in the first half of this year in the representative slice of the population included among the company's policy holders than during the corresponding period of any previous year, the statisticians' figures show. The white death rate for the staff was 864 as a company of 3.97 for the first half year. The colored mortality figures, though higher than those for whites, also showed a decided improvement.
