ELECTRICITY
Used Successfully in Heating Steel
Billets at Homestead.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 2S.-Under the
direction of C. NJ Schwab, president Of
the company and originator Of the pro-
cess, electricity is now used to heat
billets Of steel at the Homestead works
of the Carnegie Steel Company, limited,
and with marked success. The prac-
tice is of recent adoption and the ad-
vantages have not yet been fully deter
mined, but enough is known to justify
the statement that coal and gas will
be displaced as fuel in all the heating
furnaces of the company's plants in
the near future. 1t is stated that the
economy consists in the fact that the
heat is applied directly to the metal.
At present only light billets have
been heated, but billets up to u inches
in dimensions have been successfully
heated and preparations are in progress
for testing the new method on ingots
of the largest size made at the works
in order to fully demonstrate the ex-
tent to which electric heat can be
utilized.

money on hand to make the show a

to pay expenses, but enough to start
on, and if every one will pay all they
can we will have the biggest and best
show ever given in the town. The
different committees made a very ia
vorable report as to their part of the
work. A few had done nothing, but all
are in earnest The parade committee
will put big parade in the field. All
the orders will be invited to partici-
pate. All the labor unions have signi-
fed their intention to turn out with
us. Then the business men will each
represent his business in some way in
the parade. The parade committee
will meet at w. A. Luke's produce
