driving at over there':'" queries tho
subscriber, pointing to a numlier (if
men on a raised plattorm, each with
his hand on a wheel like that of a
car-hrnkc.
7'he superintendent exp'ains how
their niovenionts control the almost
restless force of the hydraulic, pres
ses, and we stand amazed at the
magic by which a turn of the wrist
is made to manipulate the ponder
ous converter, with its charge ot
melted metal, as easily as a man
might handle a glass of water.
A whirlwind of sparks pours
from the converter's month and
rolls, along the vaulted roof, send
ing sudden gusts of lire almost into
our faces. The converter comes to
rest ami the fiery blast is turned oft".
In a moment, streams of molten
iron creep along the conduits from
row ot furnaces, and pour a flood
of scintillating metal into the con
verter. The charge complete, the
blast is turned on again with aug
mented force, and through a hun
dred opening, air is forced into the
liquid metal, burning out the car
lion and sulphur and other liquid
impurities, ami sending the dross
up In the chimney a coruscating
metallic fountain. Our eyes are
blinded by the brightness, yet Os
cillated by the play of colors that
mark the progress of the purifica
tion. The prevailing hue is a rose
tint of exquisite loveliness, lost iu
the dazzling whiteness when we
look steadily, but reappearing as
often as the eye is rested by looking
away for a moment.
" We have pure iron now," re
marks tlie superintendent, as the
flame suddenly ceases. "In a mo
ment will be added the compound,
which is to change the iron into
steel."
The converting mixture pours a
fiery cascade into the converter, and
a magnificent eruption ot many
colored scintillations show the in
tensity of tho chemical action going
on. it ends abruptly, and as the
huge retort is canted over to pour
its contents into the moulds below,
we follow the superintendent's sug
gestion, and look in at its shilling
mouiii.
"You know what whitc-hcat
Iooks like now." he eavs and wo i
confess that thus far we fetfe twl
no adequate conception of its per.
feet whiteness.
On onr way liaok to our car we
stopped to look at the crushing ma
chine for pulverising the refractory
lining of the converter.
' If you only had jaws like that,
subscriber," remarks the little man,
" you wouldn't have had to send
back the chops they offered you at
the hotel the other morning. '
The subscriber watches the ma
chine a moment, working his mouth
with unconscious envy, as tho blocks
of quartette crumbled to sand iu
the resistless bite then keeping
time with tho machine, lie ejacu
lated" With a masticating
apparatus-r-liko that a man

tlie marriage would Ihj made pubic

How a SPIDER Spins. Few things

apperatns of tlie spider. On tlie un

placed four or six knobs, each not
larger than tlie point of a pin. These
are outlets of certain receptacles wltli-

When the spider vvii.es to spin a
