Et tn, SiXtO!

Truly Liberty is betrayed in the house
OF its friends! The disheartening an.
nouncement is made-from Springfield,
Mass, too, of all places that Senior
Slxto Lopez is going home to the Philip
pines, to join Aguinaldo in accepting
American sovereignty and in working for
a universal acceptance thereof by his
countrymen Surely, if Freedom shrieked
when Kosciusko fell, she must have
thrown at least thirteen consecutive and
tumultuous fits when that ill news was
heard. Sixto Lopez recreant to the
sacred cause of Tagal headchopping !!
Why, he has been supposed to be carry
ing the very palladium of liberty about
in his trousers pocket. DeIgado might
yield, and Aguinado himself bow the
knee to the invader, but Sixto Lopez
would remain faithful among the faith
less, and from the exposed and perilous
outposts of Springfield and the Back
Bay would continue to hurl documen.
tary defiance at the foes of freedom.
And now he takes train for the Pa
ci6c Coast, on his way home, and stops
off at Springfield between trains to an
nounce to his friends his desertion of the
sacred cause-quite as one might happen
in to remark casually that the sun had
ceased to shine. In fact, the sun must
have ceased to shine in Springfield, and
over part of the Back Bay. And the
fervor of the Aladdin oven is abated, and
the sound Of the Garrisonian Tyre is
stilled. Eft tn, Sixto! This was the most
unkindest cut of ALL Now let Erving
Winslow seek solace in Ibsen, and Ernest
Crosby turn to Tolstoi for surcease from
sorrow. Alas! Likewise, alack! Also,
eheu! Moreover, woe is mel By the
same token, well-a-day! Let us fee unto
the Mountains of Hepsidam, where the
lion roareth and the whangdoodle
mourneth for her firstborn
But as for Sixto Lopez, like his friend
he seems to be after all
amenable to reason and able to see
great light when it shines upon him.
Wherefore he is to be congratulated on
getting out of the anti-imperialist galley.

A Wonderful Steel Mill.

The most efficient steel mill in thu
world is that at Ensley, Ala. There art
larger ones in the North, but none o
which uses such remarkably modern
methods in all the processes OF produc
ton. Every step is automatic; from the
time miner picks up a piece OF ore IN
the mines and places it in his barrow, 1t
is not touched by human hands until it
is ready to be packed and shipped as
finished product. Meantime it has
undergone all the various operations OF
the furnace and mill. The building in
which the steel furnaces are located is 50
! by 1856 feet. 1t contains ten basic, open
hearth furnaces, gas heated, each of fifty
tons capacity and having a stack $50
feet high. The material is charged into
the furnaces by two charging machines.
The charging boxes, each holding two
tons, are run up to the doors of the fur
naces on cars carrying four boxes each,
and the machine takes one ofthese boxes,
thrusts 1T into the furnace, inverts it,
and then places it back on the car. The
machine and cars are operated by cleo
trclty, and controlled by the mere touch
ing of a button.
The casting side of the mill is at
lower level. When the mass of molten
metal has reached the desired condition,
the whole furnace is tilted, and the fiery
fluid poured off into wheeled ladies,
which roll up on tracks under the lips of
the furnace to receive the splitting and
suffering cascade of fire. The metal is
then moulded into ingots, and subse-
quently rolled into billets. The bloom
ing mill, where the latter operation is
accomplished, is forty four inches in
diameter, and the largest cut one in the
country. The shears then receive the
metal; they can cut a piece ten inches
thick and thirty inches wide. The coke
used In the iron furnaces is made in the
most approved manner. Coal straight
rom the mines is passed through a
500, 900 plant, which saves all the
volatile portion. The tar and ammonia
Ire washed from the smoke. The latter
S crystalized into sulphate of ammonia,
ind the tar is made into pitch and
reosote. The gas from these furnaces is
hen conducted to the blast furnaces,
where IN the process of iron making, it is
orced through the molten metal. Even
hen is is not allowed to escape; it is
made to do service in heating the boilers
or generating power. Each ton of coal
hus treated yields ten thousand cubic
let OF gas, twenty pounds of ammonia
nd one hundred pounds of tar. The
mmonla is used for refrigeration and
the tar is taken by a
oohng concern which has a plant near
Y. Another industry allied to the steel
nd iron plant is the one which utilzes
ne Stag refuse from the furnaces in the
manufacture OF cement Worlds
