the ant or bee just emerged from the

cially are the ant nurses solicitous
about the health and comfort of their
small charges. In some species the
young ant grubs are assorted into sizes,
those of the same age being kept in the

Ing bar OF iron to a cherry red and
then hammering it on an anvil The
wonderful part of it is that he heats
the iron by thrusting it into a tub of
cold water. This does away with all
that we have associated with the
forge, the Goals, the blaze, bellows
etc. The tank Lolding the cold water
is about 81 feet square. The water
is about two feet deep. Two insulat-
ed wires from an electric dynamo are
led into the room. The positive wire
is connected with the metal lining of
the the. The other wire is secured
by welding or solder to a pair of
tongs whose handles are covered
with Insulating material. The mega
tive wire is long enough and flexible
enough to allow considerable move
ment by the workman, who grasps
with insulated topgs the spike, bolt,
horseshoe or other article which is
to be heated, and dips it into the
liquid. That's all. When 1t is hot
enough he places it on his anvil and
hammers the thing or drops it where
another workman can pick it up, and
then uses his magic tongs afresh to
handle something else. Heating iron
or steel to cherry red by simply
plungiag it into cold water keeps the
crowd as long as the man does it,
