New Method With Steel.

The Bertrand process, as practiced
at Kladno, Bohemia, consists in pour
ing the liquid pig from the blast fur
mace into an open hearth furnace,
where it is treated with lime and ore,
the liquid pig carrying about $50 of
carbon, per cent. of silicon, LIS per
cent. of manganese. After about PA
hours the preliminary work is finished
and the metal flows into the finishing
furnace. The metal then contains
prs tically nothing but carbon, Which
is oxidized in the finishing furnace in
about the same time as the work lasts
in the primary furnace, i. E., 21a hours.
Thus eight heats are made in "a
hours, or an average of As heats
weekly, the weight Of the heat being
| 16 to IL tons.
The yield is 102 per 100 of pig
charged, a plus of per cent. Since
! the metalloids in the pig, which are
eliminated by oxidation, the carbon
silicon and phosphorus amount to
per cent, therefore per cent. of me
tallic iron is reduced from the ore
| added. The best done so far was the
average of the month of December
when the yield was 105.40 per 100 Of
metal charged-lron Age.

Of children in the public schools are
poor, in winter their parents are
