THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1895.
EJNK1CHED THE WOKLD.
Sir Henry Bessemer and His Proo
6BS of Making SteeL
At First Thought by Scientists to Be Vla
lonury and Impracticable, But Ulti
mately Proved to Be a Splen
( did Success.
The man who inaugurated the reign
of steel by so vastly increasing its uses,
and invented a method of manufacture
which makes the product even lower
in cost than the kind of metal it was
destined so largely to replace, ranks
among the world's greatest inventors,
though, says Harper's Monthly, he did
not reach his goal unaided by the skill
and genius of colaborers. The pneu
- matic process of making steel by which
Sir Henry Bessemer added more to the
wealth of the world than any man of
bis generation furnished curious ex
ample of what Tyndall called the -scientific
use of the imagination. Bes
semer, like Siemens and Thomas, who
share with him the honors of modern
iron metallurgy, was not a practical
worker in the metals, but unlike them,
he was absolutely ignorant of aught
beyond superficial chemical knowledge.
When he grasped the conception of
burning out the impurities of pig
metal by the oxidizing power of air
and thus reducing the excessively car
burized material to the malleable
state, he knew nothing of the tradi
tions and science of the problem he
was daring enough to attack. Had he
been an adept it is more than probable
that he would have been so imprisoned
by the past as never to have reached
out so daringly into the unknown. He
began his experiments secretly in a
small way, after having visited nn
merous iron works to make himself
acquainted with existing processes.
It was not till the end of eighteen
months that the fundamental princi
ple of his great future success became
perfectly clear to him that of render
ing cast iron malleable by a powerful
air blast blown throughout the charge,
and not merely on the top, as in the
old finery and puddling furnace. The
heat developed was so great as to keep
even wrought iron fused, and the hap
py inventor found by and by that he
had succeeded in making iron in small
quantities. It cannot be related here
how he fought through the early diffi
culties of his work, and how the iron
masters of the age were alike aston
ished and delighted at his primary re
sults. The shock of the inventor was
scarcely less great when he discovered
that in making iron in large quantities
his process did not answer all his an
ticipations. His earlier successes had
been with pig iron smelted from high
grade ores, comparatively free from
sulphur or phosphorus. The attempt
to work the process commercially in
volved the use of the common pig.
which made up the bulk of the smelt
ing1 material. The intense heat of the
furnace burned out the carbon and the
silicon, but left the phosphorus and sul
phur untouched. This might have been
remedied bv usinc mire nu?s containing
but traces of these elements; but a
graver defect attended the process. In
many of the operations the inc-ot had
no consistency; it crumbled under the
hammer or in the rolls. In the language
of the shop, it was rotten. The pro
cess, which, within a month of its first
public announcement at the Chelten
ham meeting of the British association
in 1856, had brought to its discoverer
the -sum of twenty-seven thousand
pounds sterling in advance license fees,
was now condemned by scientists and
practical men as a visionary scheme.
ADMIRE OUR PIAZZAS.
American Institution of Which the
j English Approve.
The modern piazza is one of the few
American institutions upon which a
Britisher condescends to look with fa
vor. An Englishman who has been
traveling in the United States and vis
iting a number of well-appointed sum
mer houses, where the art of comfort
has been attained to a high degree, said
to a writer in the Boston Herald that
he admired our piazzas particularly.
This sort of outdoor room is peculiar to
American houses, and it struck him as
being most delightful. Not that "ver
andas" were unknown, by any means,
in other parts of the world, but in Eng
land people only had gardens or ter
race, where they resorted in warm
weather. The broad piazza so com
mon to the seaside and country resi
dence here, and which is furnished as
elaborately as any room in the home,
was unique. "You know, we London
ers are content with a bit of garden
with our houses." "And very lovely
they are, too," interposed an auditor.
"Yes, so they are, with the ivied walls
and the old trees and shrubs! We who
are lucky to have gardens live in them
in warm weather, but it is often damp,
don't you know, on the ground. There
are all sorts of devices in wicker fur
niture to save us from rheumatism,
and there are arbors, but I would like
to buy ore cf your piazzas and set it up
at home! They are a charming 'insti
tution,' as you Americans say."

Exciting Dance of the Potlaoh.
"One of the most exciting scenes I
ever witnessed was an Alaskan pot
lach," said A. L. Henry to a Cincinnati
Enquirer man. "The Indians prepare
for them for months in advance, and
usually fast for a few weeks in order
to enjoy the occasion to the utmost.
The potlach is a festival given by the
chief, not only to the members of his
own tribe, but to the neighboring
tribes as well. The festivities consist
of dancing, singing and games, while
beeves are kept constantly roasting, it
being a perpetual barbecue for thirty
days. - The dancing nevsr ceases, and
prizes are usually awarded to the per
son who remains ort the ground long
est. It is not infrequent for a brave to
dance unceasingly for twenty to thirty
hours. At one given a 'short time ago
by Chief Strualeeps at least fifteen
thousand dollars was expended, and in
a private letter from a friend there I
learned that' another chief is soon to
give one intended to eclipse that."
