Calls Boron Atoms
Interesting Study
Boron hydrides, though limited inf
practical use, prove very interestingt
"playthings" for chemists because ofk
their highly active natures, -Dr. H. T.
Shlesinger of the University of Chi-
cago, noted authority, said yesterday.1
Referring to the hydride consisting1
of two boron atoms and six hydrogen
atoms, Dr. Shlesinger pointed out the
contrasts between boron and carbon.e
Previously, boron was thought to have
belonged to the carbon family, he ex-
plained.
Fractional distillation and conden-
sation produce very small quantities
of the compound, he continued. Its
molecular structure still elusive, the
compund's purity is determined
through a study of its freezing points.

FROM THESE THREE STALLIONS originated the

developed proved far fleeter than the horses by
