In HEARST'S MAGA ZINE for October, among many other highly interest ing articles, is a short story on the accomplishments of Dr. Edward Acheson, by Sidney Johnson. In part Mr. Johnson says: INSTEAIr of waiting until a man is dead, it is a pretty good scheme to send the flowers while he is alive and well and able to enjoy them. No life story Is more romantic and reveals the ups and downs in life, its lights and shades, its trag edies and its successes, any more than that of Doctor Acheson. By his brain, materials that were worth a thousand dollars a pound twenty years ago art now produced for twelve cents a pound. His two great inventions are car borundum and graphite made arti ficially. Dr. Acheson's great achievements have all been the "utilization of ac cidents." to use his own modest phrase. Edward G. Acheson was born at Washington, Pa.. March 9. The boy improved every oppor tunity to study. He saved up his pennies, and v?e find him going to a boarding school at Sewickley, and afterward to an academy- at Belle fonte. He had his ups and downs, -most ly downs, not realizing that all the time he. was getting an education and finding out a great number of things about mines, oil wells, coal pockets, railroading, the manage ment of men, and the use of ma chinery. In 1880, no name loomed so large on the horizon of American affairs as that of Thomas A. Edison. He heard Edward Acheson ap ply for -work, and he gave him a job in the drafting department at Menlo Park. In 1881, Mr. Acheson went abroad and spent some time In the service of Mr. Edison. But he wanted to get back to America and tackle some big, difficult propositions, and. if possible, work with the chief. So back to America he came, again finding work at Menlo Park. Fame was not long in coming to him. On the Lookout. Somebody told him about the value and the need of a good abra sive, and that there was no article in Nature that would cut the dia mond. So Acheson was on the lookout for an abrasive that would super sede all others. He got the thing In his head first, and then he dis covered certain crystals on the point of a carbon. Then it was that he began to save these crystals, and from this the idea of carbo rundum was born These first crystals were sold at the rate of eight hundred dollars a pound. The same thing is being pro duced now for ten cents a pound; and the world is producing ten mil lion pounds a year. To produce eorborundum, Dr. Acheson mixed coke with sand, and turned through these a powerful electric current. The electricity leaping between the poles, twenty feet and more apart, with the sand and coke between, vaporiz'ed the sand, and this cooled in the form of carborundum crystals. This was Dr. Acheson's first great and far-reaching discovery. The second invention, which, in some ways, is greater than the first, came when a degree of elec tric heat was applied sufficient to detompose the carborundum, just as the sand had formerly been va porized. When this was done, the substance was found to be pure graphite. Here we get a fulfill ment of the law that the opposites of things are very much alike. Graphite is a substance that has been long known as black lead. It is discovered in limited quantities, diffused over the whole world. Very seldom, however, is it found in .suf ficient quantities so it can be mined to advantage. Graphite made artificially is the undisputed invention of Dr. Ache son. It is not an imitation graphite. It is the production by man in a very short space of time of tile same article that nature has taken thousands of years to produce. The first business of the Acheson Graphite Company was to make rods of electrodes for use in elec tric furnaces. Next, graphite was used for filling dry batteries. Next, it was discovered that graphite was a very efficient pig ment for use In making paints for painting metals. Produces a Lubricant. It wap not until th* summer nf 1906, however, that Dr. Acheson C PROFESSOR ACHESON AT WORK B WIKBrjEaBt. ~a» / Jra » s-Mlh thfeaal Carborundum in powder form succeeded in making a graphite that was soft, non-coalescing, and eminently suitable for a lubricant. This is the very antithesis of car borundum. and yet the process em ployed in its production is very sim ilar.
