The operation was witnessed by one OF its

inventor of the process is burly, tough
son of Vulcan, named John Neville. The

at the conclusion that the yellow p.rssiate
was the thing which was neede 10 carbon

process o. ca,c-hara Mug, in wHich the bar
iron that hss rec wed It's iiuai shape l. coat

rom the surface, absorbs the carbon from
the decomposition o. the acid of the salt,
and is To all intrHtS and purposes, steel {;
while the interior oil the bar remains as II
, was cast of maiicab!e iron. Now, reasoned
Mr.. Neville, If by this process the surface
of the iron ne made STEEL why cannot the
whole mass be converted into steel, If the
salt and al the parts of the iron can be
brought INTO contact, and they certainly can
be by melting them together. Possessed ol
