INTRODUCTION TOPARASITOLOGY

Seventh Edition (1944)By ASA C. CHANDLER, Professor of Biology, The Rice Institute

1 Since publication of the seventh edition of Chandler's "Introduction toParasitology," 43 schools have adopted this textbook for the spring courseof 1945. This is not, of course, an exceptional record for "Chandler," butin view of the discontinuance of many courses in the subject for the dura-tion, it is nevertheless a substantial one. Frequent revisions have keptthis book constantly up to date, and additions and improvements have in-creased the value of Dr. Chandler's book as a teaching aid. A few typicalcomments from users of this book will indicate some of the characteristicsthat particularly appeal to teachers:

ALUMINUMRECOVERING valuable aluminum for re-use from crushed

war-weary, crashed or obsolete planes has been speededup by a new process that literally dissolves the aluminumfrom whole sections of these planes. This new method,developed by the Aluminum Company of America in co-

operation with the Air Technical Service Command, elimi-nates all need for sorting metals before the aluminum ismelted down and gives an end product of pure, high-gradealuminum ready for reprocessing. The aluminum ob-tained from alloys and other metals coated with aluminumis for all intents and purposes the same as aluminummanufactured from bauxite.Whole sections of wings and fuselage are placed in a

bath of caustic soda. This caustic soda dissolves thealuminum in the planes, while any steel nuts and bolts,rivets, copper piping, bronze bushings, rubber or othernon-aluminum parts are not attacked by the caustic andremain in solid form. Aluminum alloying elements are

not attacked by the caustic, and as is the case with othernon-aluminum parts they can be removed readily fromthe sludge. Thus scrapped planes are taken apart quicklyby chemicals, instead of by tedious hand labor.

After filtering out the solid impurities from the sludge,the aluminum-bearing liquor is transformed into pure

aluminum oxide by the Bayer process. This is accom-

plished by pumping the liquor into precipitating towersas high as six-story buildings and allowing it to standand cool. In time, crystals of aluminum hydroxide beginto settle out. These crystals are removed and washedto free them of caustic soda. Then they are heated whitehot in large rotating kilns to drive off any moisture andleave commercially pure aluminum oxide or alumina. Thecaustic soda recovered can be re-used.The aluminum oxide can be processed into any desired

form by standard methods, about which there is nothingnew. Other parts, such as rivets, rubber and so on, can

also be salvaged.The chemical stripping of aluminum from wrecked

planes makes possible the conservation of the country'shigh-grade bauxite reserves and man-hours required tomine bauxite. If this process had been available at the

time of the serap aluminum drive in 1942, when house-

wives turned in to the government their aluminum pots,pans and skillets, those cooking utensils could have been

processed and used in aircraft construction. As it was,they were of little value, since the large number of dif-

ferent mixtures and alloys of aluminum used in cookingutensils made it impossible to identify and sort the vast

quantity turned in. Most of this material was melted

down into low-grade metal.-ROBERT N. FARR.

ITEMSTHE effects of changes in population, including war

casualties, on the make-up of groups seeking employmentis being studied at the Seripps Foundation for Research

in Population, Miami University, under a grant from the

VOL. 101, No. 2628

Rockefeller Foundation. The total population of theUnited States would increase by about 25,000,000 between1940 and 1970, the Scripps scientists have estimated.This estimate was worked out on the assumption ofmedium fertility, medium mortality, no immigration andno war losses. By 1970 the population of the SovietUnion would increase by about 77,000,000 over that of1940, according to an estimate quoted on the review ofthe work of the foundation by Dr. Raymond B. Fosdick,president of the foundation. During the same periodFrance and England would each show a decrease of about4,000,000. These estimates also are based on the assump-

tion of an orderly development of past population changesand do not allow for war losses or boundary changes.Facts to show the meaning of these and other changes inpopulation, in terms of international trade, migration andagreements and also in terms of standards of living andcultural advancement or degradation within a country,are being sought in Rockefeller-supported studies at theScripps Foundation and at the Office of Population Re-search at Princeton University.

A NEW, but important, instrument has been added to

the already confusingly crowded instrument panels ofmulti-engine aircraft. Known as the engine performancecalculator, it merits its position because it can show thepilot or flight engineer by a glance at a plastic dial howany engine is performing. It eliminates complicatedmathematical computations which, if not accurate, mightresult in the plane 's failing to reach its destination, sincethe distance a multi-engine plane can fly depends largelyupon the efficient operation of its engines. Developed by H.B. Riggs, a flight engineer with Consolidated Vultee Air-craft Corporation, the calculator is set in accordance withengine speed and manifold pressure instrument indica-tions. From this is computed such important informa-tion as fuel consumption, horsepower and cylinder pres-

sure. The idea for the calculator came to Mr. Riggswhile he was trying to keep a malfunctioning patrolbomber engine in operation during a long flight over thePacific.

THREE new standard samples of hydrocarbons are now

available from the National Bureau of Standards, bring-ing the total number to forty-six of these national stand-ards of particular value in rubber, petroleum and chem-ical industries. They have been prepared and certifiedfor use in calibrating spectrometers and other analyticalinstruments atd apparatus used in the laboratories ofthese industries. The first of these standard samples were

made available in January, 1944, as a contribution to the.war effort. The purity of each is stated on the certificateaccompanying them. They are also certified relative to-values of refractive index and density, and some forcalorimetric heat of combustion. This is for use in es-

tablishing heating values of gasoline and other volatileliquid fuels.

EBULLIOMETRIC MEASUREMENTSBy W. Swietoslawski

Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This notable treatise by the leading authority on the subject presents new techniques for thephysicochemical examination of pure liquids and their mixtures. The procedures set forthare based on precise simultaneous measurements of the boiling and condensation temperatures

of liquids, and different applications in physics, physical chemistry, organic and analyticalchemistry are described. A chapter is also devoted to critical phenomena. The use of themethod of comparative measurements has increased considerably the accuracy of measurements

made with ebulliometers and distilling columns. Ebulliometry has found large application not

only in teaching and research, but also in everyday industrial laboratory practice. The broadutility of ebulliometers was developed in Warsaw, Poland, by the author. Recently these de-vices have been used in a number of governmental laboratories concerned with standards andmeasures.
