Ancient Cast steel,

The manufacture of cast steel in In
dia can be traced back for over 1000
years. while there are also examples of
wrought iron work nearly as old. Near
Delhi, close to the Kutub, there is an

weighs ten tons and is thought to be
over 1,s00 years old. Chicago Chront-

! Pity
md
Beallfy

The most beautiful thing in
the world is the baby, all
dimples and Joy. The most
pitiful thing is that same baby,
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ
ence.
Dimples and JOY have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve--all but pity
and love--is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing wrong;itis either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body Of hers; and thatis
gone. She is starving for fat;
it is DEATH, be quick!
SCOTS Emulsion Of Cod
Liver Oil is the fat she can
take; it will save her.

How Hail is Formed.

Engineering says that observation made
of the existence during atmospheric per
ttIrbations oil vast whirlwinds with hori.
zontal axes has induced an American
meteorologist TO PROFOUND a theory OF
formation of hail which appears somewhat
plausible. Such a wind would whirl the
warm, damp surface air up to high, cold
regions. In passing through these re,
frigerating layers, the vapor would con-
dense and freeze out into small ice-crystais.
These needles, initially small. would share
in the gyratory movement of the air, and
be carried around the spirais of the whirl.
wind making important additions to theii
masses at each passage through the lower
moist Strata. 1t will be seen that this ex.
planation. accounts for many of the pc
culiarities of hailstorm, such as the
lowering goftemperature, the zonal structure
of the hailstones, and the accompanying
manifestations OF electric energy. Indeed
the whirling mass of air, together with its
granules, rapidly increasing in size and
number, forms a veritable electric generator
Of the frictional type.
