Modern .hachinerV of Chicago. In describing
the work done In n steel foundry, tells OF re.
markable instances OF nerve displayed by the

torrent OF scoria that ~scatters over a wide aroa,
descending In an umbrelln-shaped mass OF
sparks that envelOp the men at the ladlc.
Through tho pyTotechnic display of the rain
OF fire and luminous reflections you can see a
WORKMAN shrug his shoulders or wriggle q little.
This Is tho only sign he gives that n spark of
molten steel has fallen inside his flannel shirt.
Tho manager said that in the performance OF
their work the men would run into a deluge OF
flying sparks so thick you would think no one
could go into Il and come out alive; and that,
too; In summer when they were stripped to the
waist and had not even a shirt to protect them.
In the shadow OF the furnace and ladle il would
often register l25 degrees. and the very life was
