Thirty years ago iron took first rank
among the metals most useful to man
But steel Is employed to-day for almost
every purpose for which iron was then
used, and for many others, and the
time Is near when, except for few spe-
cial articles. the Iron age will have
passed away, as those Of stone and
bronze have departed.
And yet, the basis of steel Is cast iron,
to the extent of more than 80 parts In
the 100 in most, specimens. Thus, 28,-
100000 tons of pig iron were used in
1899 In. the manufacture of the worlds
steel. e

Steel Is king. To 1t in a large meas
ure America owes her Industrial and
commercial supremacy. Yet only few
years ago steel entered very little into
the worlds manufactured products out
side cutlery and numerous small ar
ticles. In the making of steel, Ameri-
cas- primacy Is recognized, and, SO
rapid has been her progress In this
field of activity, she Is likely soon to
put Great Britain out of business as
an important source Of the worlds
supply. Yet 1t WAS an Englishman,
Henry Bessemer, afterward knighted
by Queen Victoria, who discovered the
process OF converting cast-iron Into
steel at a nominal cost, and thereby
revolutionized the worlds Industries;
and 1t was to England that America
had to go to learn the process and Sc
cure the right to use 1t.
The process Is simple, but Its discov
cry has aptly been characterized as the
most wonderful single incident In the
nineteenth century. 1t Is an interest
Ing story; its narration Is timely, too,
In view Of the prominence steel has
been brought into by its commercial
triumph, the organization Of the steel
trust, and the industrial war In which
the steel trust and organized labor en-

Missouri re-apportionment of congressional
districts and have the L. 5. Supreme court
pass upon it.
The new apportionmcnt bill provides
that there shall he one representative for

cation that re-apportioned the state paid no
more attention TO the provisions of the APP
portionment bill than If it had not been II

to teach the pony not to get scared, he had
his boy Hans hide in a fence corner, with
instructions to jump out suddenly and say
''Booh! !" AS the father and the pony passed
by. The boy obeyed orders; the good Ger
man came ON, riding the pony, when Hans
jumped out, thew up his hands and shouted
''Booh!' The pony threw the old man off,
and g~alloped away. Picking himself up the
Dutchman exclaimed:
