The Casting of Steel.

In casting steel there has always
been more or less difficulty from the
tendency of the melted metal to splash.
This produces flaws and cracks on the
surface of the ingots used for forging
guns. These ingots weigh five tons
and upward. II naturally arises that
such large quantity Of metal falling
from a height into the molds would
spatter and splash. The particles
thrown off cool rapidly and are pro-
ductive of great deal of trouble BY
a new and simple method this is pre-
vented. A tube Is prepared of thin
sheet iron, such as Is used for roofing.
The tube Is twenty-four inches in in
side diameter. and Is suspended from
an iron ring. to which there are riveted

The White Violet.



(The inhabitants of far Cathay have
a pretty little legend which accounts
for the origin of the white violet. The
following story is an accurate transla-
ton from the Chinese)
At Nantai, close under the great
south wall of Fuhchan, lived Suen Moi,
the violet girl, in the house OF her
father, the maker of baskets. But ne
was old, his hands had lost their skill,
and he was like blind fowl picking
at random after worms. They would
have been poor had he not been as
careful with his cash as bee with its
honey. Suen Moi did not know, SO
she sold violets that heaven might be-
stow upon her the hundred blessings.
Her flowers grew in front Of the house,
which faced the north, and she knew
the flowers loved her, because when
they blossomed they always turned
their heads toward the door.
She called the flowers her children,
gave them water, when the hot sun
tried to scorch them, and kept the
weeds away. Every day she picked
the best ones and sold them, that her
parents might not die poor. Whenever
she sold bunch she always whispered:
"Ni-ho-chi-lok," that they might find
comfort in the parting.
THE flowers of Suen Moi have souls"
those at the market said They
know her voice and her touch, and
when they pass into strange hands they
droop their heads and die"
But Suen Moi said they only wanted
water.
She gathered her flowers early in the
morning before the sun was up, and
she kept them in a basket made of
bamboo shoots.
One morning, just as she had fin
ished, young man stopped at the gate.
DO you sell fiowers?" he asked.
Eyes. honorable sir" and she bowed
low, for she knew by his dress that he
was a man of rank.
Il want to buy some of YOU"
She took the basket to him and
held it out that he might please him
self. He took one flower. Then from
the purse at his belt he brought out
coin which he dropped into her hand
1t was long piece of yellow metal
shaped like knife. Upon it were
characters which Suen Moi could not
understand.
ut is too much" she said, like
child that cannot calculate.
II give it to you because you love
your flowers and are good to them"
answered the stranger.
She watched him curiously as he
walked away, and then she looked at
the coin. When she went into the
house she showed it to her parents.
1T is very ancient" said her father.
There is one like in in the museum
at Fuhchan."
1T is goid," said her mother eff
we had three more we should be rich"
The next morning the stranger came
again. He came over to whre Suen
Moi was gathering flowers. and said
to her:
"Suen Moi, suen Moi, give me
flower"
Il have picked the best one for you,"
she answered. blushing.
why have you picked the best one?"
he asked.
Because I know you love flowers,
too" she answered.
do you know you are fiower?" he
said.
She hung her head. No one had ever
spoken like this to her before.
You are as beautiful as the flow
ers," he said. Your heart is pure
and sweet. / love you as you do the
flowers"

wife.
