MYSTERY OF STEEL
Our Modern Civilization Is Based n
Freak of Nature.
If it were not for one tiny, erratic
break In nature's orderly progression
we should never have had tho ma-
j cbluery that has brought about mod
em civilization, t'or we snoum not
bare bad steel. It is true we' should
have had iron, but pure Iron Is almost
usolcss. It is only when a small quan
tity of carbon is added to it that it
becomes bard enough to take a cutting
edge. Then it is called steel.
Why steel hardens is an unsolved
problem. The Scientific American re
produces some extracts from an ad
dress before the British Institute of
Mechanical Engineers, delivered by
Professor Arnold, who bas for many
years been investigating the chemical
and mechanical relations between Iron,
carbon and other metals, and Sir Rob
ert Hadflpld's experiments that called
attention to this "break" In the order
of nature which atone makes steel pos
sible. Nickel and cobalt are so closely re
lated to iron In their properties aud in
tbelr position In the periodic classifica
tion atomic weights, specific gravity,
fusing point and valence being almost
the same that It might be expected
Uiey would bcinve identically when
united with carbon. Not so. however.
Sir Robert Ilndfield found that when
tho "steel" made of nickel and cobalt
was heated or hammered the carbon
came out of the composition and was
precipitated as graphite. If Iron be
haved this way tool steel would turn to
cast Iron as soon as heated. And It Is
on the fact that It does not "a seem
ingly quite erratic ocpnrture on na
ture's part from her orderly plan"
that modern manufacture is founded.

8trange Indian Village Perched
Up In the Air.
Perched on the top of a great rock In
tho neighborhood of 300 feet high
stands Acoinn, In New Mexico, in some
respects the strangest village in this
country. Acouia is an Indian settle
ment of some 000 people and means
"the people of the rock." Though the
founding of the village is lost in the
mist of antiquity, It Is supposed the
Acoinn Indlnus chose this site as a
measure of safety against the warlike
Apaches and Nuvajos of tbelr day.
Their selection wns made with ad
mirable Judgment, for the walls of the
rock are almost perpendicular.
Tho earliest Spanish explorers found
tho tribe settled securely in tbelr natu
ral fortallce. Acomu has remained de
lightfully untouched by tho Influences
of Spanish and American civilization.
Theso Indians are quite well to do lu
sheep and cattle, which arc pastured
on tbo grazing lauds of the valley.
where summer villages are located and
where Urn minimum uf effort is re-,
quired to euro for the thicks nnd herds.
Although less than twenty miles from
a railroad, the village is comparatively
unknown.
The natives do not care for curious
visitors. They do not wish to be stared
at and photographed. Nevertheless,
the irrepressible tourist with his cam
era occasionally scales the steeps that
bafllod the Navajo. Nowadays it is no
longer practicable to suppress him with
a tomahawk, so the Acoma are philo
sophically making the best of a bad
job by collecting $2 a day for n camera
license. The gray adobe village peers
from Its eyrie over miles of gray plain
dancing in the glare of a burning sun,
broken only by the sheer outlines of
buttes and mesas. Argonaut.
