eEssEMeR ON sEssEMER STEEL.

Marvellous Ouickness In Converting Cast
Iron Into the Hardened Metal.
In The Engineering Review Sir Hen
nv Bessemer has an article on the steel
industry which bears his name. He re-
minds us that third of q century ago
Sheffield steel made from the costly bar
iron of Sweden realized from ESQ to
$50 ton. Now, by the Bessemer proc
ess, steel of excellent quality can be
made direct from crude pig iron at a
cost ridiculously small compared with
former prices and in quantities which
the old steel workers never dreamed OF
dealing with at one operation.
In lieu of the slow and expensive
process of converting wrought iron bars
into crude or blister steel by 10 days
exposure at very high temperature to
the action of carbon, cast iron worth
only e3 ton is, Sir Henry says, con-
verted into Bessemer cast steel in 30
minutes wholly without skilled manip-
ulation or the employment of fuel, and
while still maintaining its initial heat
it can at once be rolled into railway
bars or other required forms.
The article gives vivid picture Of
all that has been brought about by this
revolution in a manufacture in which
up to our own time there had been no
change since blades Of matchless temper
were wrought in the FORCES of Damas-
Gus and Toledo. Steel is now adapted
to a thousand purposes Of which our
ancestors had no conception.
By way of giving some idea Of the
enormous production of Bessemer steel
now, Sir Henry asks us to imagine a
wall 5 feet in thickness and 20 feet
high, like a gigantic armor plate form
ed into circle and made to surround
London. The inclosure SO made would
extend to Watford on the north side, to
Croydon on the south, to Woolwich on
the east and to Richmond on the west.
1t would contain an area Of 795 square
miles, and this great wall of London,
weighing 10, 500, 900 tons, would just
be equal to one years production OF

The Divorced Woman Did Not Feel Conn
Portable About Her Children.
The conversation took place at. ta-
BILE in Chicago restaurant within ear
shot of half dozen persons, so it is to
be presumed that it is not to be consid-
cred particularly sacred. The woman
in the brown dress had evidently just
come in from Denver. The one in black
had met her at the depot. There was an
animated description of the details of
the journey; what time she started, how
tired she got, what terrible draft there
was and so forth, interspersed with ex-
clamations of sympathy from her hear
er. Then she leaned forward and asked
with more than ordinary interest:
Have you seen George since?"
Her companions face took on an ex-
preston that seemed to betoken resigna-
tion to all the evils the human race is
destined to come in contact with.
"Yes, twice." she answered
Sand the children?"
''No, I haven't seen them"
"Nor his wife?''
"No, but they say she is quite pretty
and sensible too.'
The woman in brown sighed
"I never heard a word of it until
about week ago. You can't imagine
what a shock it gave me. He was mar
ried in December, wasn't her"
"Yes, just a month after you were. !"
She sighed again.
"I'd ike to see the children, but I'm
afraid Eoouldn't bear it. 1t makes no
difference how good Georges new wife
is, she won be like an own mother to
the poor little things. It's against all
reason, you know that. %
The woman in black admitted that
the argument was indisputable.
"And I'd never feel right again, the
speaker continued, apparently giving
her conscience few affectionate little
pats and lulling it to rest. "When I
left George, I tried to get the children
for myself; but, you see, I had no idea
what I should do. I knew it would be
out of the question for me to try to
struggle along with all three Of them.

that he would do the right thing by
them, even though my own life with
him had been perpetual martyrdom.
If had only known that I should mar

on earth could ever have compelled me
to give them up. But, you see, didn t
know. So, all things considered, Iguess

Two men of more or less bibulosity

row one night which ended in one get
ting pretty badly battered and the other
being arrested for assault and battery.
On the trial one of the attorneys was
quite anxious to know why two such
friends had got into such trouble.
"Will you state just how the diff.
Guilty originated" he inquired of the
one ON the stand.
The witness told very much involv-
ed story.
"That isn't what want to know, "
said the attorney sharply.
The witness made another try.
''That's no clearer than the other, ~
objected the attorney. "Can't you tell
just what passed between you and moth

The face of the witness showed a
hight in it.
"Oh," he said, sis that what you
want to know?"
"Of course it is. Tell that and nc
more"

there were 10 beers, four whiskies, two

the house side among some old papers.
The memorialist is a woman, and she
asks congress to appropriate $500 to en-
able her to perfect and place upon the
market sundry inventions, which she
lacks means to secure patents upon.
She says: II have asked assistance from
most every one I thought most likely to
aid. began on the common liner, went
ON to the thousanders, then to million
aires, governors and the president-not
the present prosident-but I asked
Brother Arthur They all paid as deaf
an ear to it as the Alps would to the

gress to "look into the patent Office

$500 that is doing no one any good.
Bring it out and let me use it for 8
season. Money, like trees, yields more

THE ARTISTS QUEEN.

An artist once gave to the canvas face
That the wise came miles to see.
A lovelight glance in eyes all a-dance
He had caught in its subtlety.
He had given q crown to the regal one
And knights at her command,
But the girllike mien was not Of queen,
Though courtiers kissed her hand.
And the critics said, as they gazed enrapt,
That the rank of a queen was not there,
Though there never was such grace and
such touch
Or face more delicate, fair.
And they hied to the artist and found that
he
Was in quarters poor and bare,
But he held TO his heart the counterpart
- OF rustic maiden there.
