Aluminum and Oxygen. Aluminum is in many ways a won derful substance, albeit In tho natural uorld most of it is oxidized and turned to clay. Its avidity for oxygen Is ono of Its most salient characteristics. It Is Bald that ono never sees tho metal, di rectly, In air, but alwayB and only through a veil of superficial oxiuo which forms on Its freo surface with marvelous rapidity. It is stated that if a frcsn surfaco of aluminum bo pro pared by scraping with a knifo tho oxygen of tho air runs in as fast as tho Bcalo is peeled off and keeps close be hind tho knife blade. If it were not for this superficial scalo of oxide, which acts as a barrier to further action, tho metal would burn up or deflagrate In air. Tuo largo amount of heat developed by thermit n mixture of powdered aluminum wltb oxygen giving substances, bears wit ness to the activity of the oxidizing process wheu completed Washington Star.
