THE JOURNAL.
What ia steeI9

The Albion Steel and Wire Com
pany, Limited, Sheffield, have issued
the following circular, with the de-
sire to obtain the establishment, for
commercial purposes, of q satisfac-
tory definition of the difference be
tween steel, cast iron, and wrought
iron. We shall be happy to hear
what our readers interested in the
question, have to say about it. What
is steel? The question is frequent
ly asked; and, as we fail to find a
clear. full and correct definition in
any book, we will give one-hoping
that any one who thinks it errone-
GUS will make public the reason
therefore. Steel: A combination or
alloy of iron, that will forge, harden
and temper. There are various
kinds of steel, such as carbon cast
steel, tungesten cast steel, chrome
cast steel, cyanogen cast steel, and
titanium cast steel, and several other
metals have been allOyed with iron
to make steel. There is also bis
tered steel, which is made from NAL
leable bar iron, by a process called
cementation; German pig iron, in
the Catalan forge; and steel which
is made from other processes. The
line between cast iron and steel is:
when it is capable Of being forged it
is steel, and when it will not forge it
is cast iron. And the line between
m&lleable iron and steel is: when it
will harden and temper it is steel,
and when it will not harden and
temper it is malleable iron. Cast
steel will harden slightly when it
contains OPS per cent. to 0.30 per
cent. of carbon, and ceases to be ca
pable Of forging if it contains much
mere than 1.75 per cent. of carbon.

How to Manage an Unmanageabel
Horse.

How to Manage an Unmanageab9l
Horse.
A beautiful and hieh-spirited
horse would never allow a shoe to
be put 90 his feet or any person to
handle his feet. In an attempt to
shoe such a horse recently he resist
ell all efforts. kicked aside every
thing but an anvil, and came near
killing himself againts that, and
6ually was brought back to his sta
BILE upshod. This defect was just
on the eve of consigning him to the
plow, where he might work barefoot
when an officer in our service, lately
returned from Mexico, took a cord
about the size of 4 common bed
cord, put it in the mouth of the
horse ike bit, and tied it tightly
on the animals head, passing his
left ear'under the string, not pain
fully tight, but tight enough to keep
the ear down and cord in place
This done, he patted the horse gent
ly on the side of the head, and com
manded him to follow; and instant
ly the horse obeyed, perfectly sub
dued and as gentle and obedient as
a well trained dog, suffering his feet
to be lifted with entire impunIty,
acting in all respects like an old sta
ger. The gentleman who thus fur
nished this exceedingly simple
means of subduing very dangerous
propensity intimated that it was
practiced in Mexico and South
America in the management of wild
horses.-CommeTc5dJ AdUertiSer.
