AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
''ess by Which Steel and Wrought
IN '"h lie Produced From Pig Iron In
Eight AMI 0ne-ialf Minutes.


N'sht anu One-Half Minutes,
SPRINGFIELD, o., Dec ?.-For some time
"iue-awake steel men have been a,vare
,n"' John W. Bookwalter, of this citv. has
o'n engaged in perfecting and introduc.
Hs new process for the manufacture of
e'oei' from what could be learned of the
process there were well-grounded reasons
W oeiieVe that extraordinary results could
oo produced by it. A series of thorough
'.''s nave Just been made before practical
s'eei men and experts from all parts of the
country, leaves no doubt that il is des.
''neo 10 be wonderful success. Steel of
an grades, and even wrought iron of
uishest purity and quality. can be pro.
aueeu from the pig iron in eight and one
naii minutes, and at cost even less tban
Dy any process hitherto known. Ono
great feature Of the u,ocess, which will
make 1t OF national ,mrnt 4. tbat fror,
'ne extreme fluidity of the metal and other
qualitles 1t can be run with certainty into
castings OF all forms and sizes, producing
castings true to the pattern remarkably
SOUND ana free from pores and blubbers.
ana possessed Of extremely high tensile
strength and ductiity. 1t can therefore
De used for the casting of cannon of
any size and form, The Importance of
this VIII be realized when it is remem-
hered that the great want of all gov
erhments just now is steel cannon. and
vast sums have been appropriated to se-
cure gu cast solid from the steel, Uere-
tofore little, if any, success has been
feached IN that line. From the results
obtained at the Bookwalter plant here,
when Is capable OF turning out one hun,
ired tons per day, there can be no doubt
thatour Government can now secure solid
steel cannon Of all sizes and Of the highest
grade of metal. Considering its cheap
ness the ease Of operation, the perfect
certainty with which any quantity Of
metal can be produced, with other marked
advantages, there can be no doubt that
Thu ough this process the iron,and steel in
iustry will take new departure.
