ME,ssoNlER,s CUTE GARDENER
How He Planted Fish Eggs and Grew
Red Herring.

How He Planted Fish Eggs and Grew
Red Herring.
A good story is being told about a
gardener who was for many years III
the service Of Messonier.
This gardener was not only wonder
fully skilled in the art OF cuitlVatlng
flowers and vegetables, but he also was
a true scientist, and as he was endowed
with phenomenal memory he was
able to give offhand the botanical name
of any plant that was shown to MN.
Some of his employers friends fire.
quently tried to battle him by handing
him seeds or cuttings of exotic or other
o'lt-of- the-way plants, but they never
succeeded.
Now, Meissonief was proud of him,
but he vowed that he would, once at
least, bewilder him, and one day, While
Emile Angler was dining with him, he
summoned the gardener, and taking
from his pocket small paper package,
in which he had previously placed some
eggs of dried herring, he said to him:
Here are some curious seeds. Can
you tell me what they are?"
"Of course l can, sir" replied the
gardener, and after examining them
for a moment or two he gave them
most impressive Latin name.
eff you SOW them now," asked the
painter, chow long will it take for them
to appear above ground|
"a fortnight" was the reply.
well" said Meissonier, Il wish you
would SOW them at once, for | am
curious to see what kind Of plant 1T is. -
A fortnight later Emile Angler, de-
string to see the end of this joke, came
to breakfast at the painters villa, and
as he and his host were at table the
gardener presented himself and said:
IF you gentlemen will oblige me by
stepping into the garden l will show
you the plants that those curious seeds
have produced"
The two friends followed him to the
conservatory, where he pointed out to
them twelve Odd-lOoEing objects in a
box filled with freshly watered brown
earth. They stopped to examine them
more closely, and the next moment
they burst into shouts Of laughter, for
the strange objects were the heads of
twelve red behring's.

mering and twisting-ey doubling
close, without breaking. The first kind
has been made for more than a century,
the second only since Bessemer and
Slemens-those modern magicians-
showed how to do it. In 1866 HALEY
went from America and purchased the
Bessemer rights for this country for
$4,000. Immediately previous to that
time S125 ton had been paid here for
imported steel rails. and the duty on
them was about sos a ton. Today
rails are made and sold in the United

with cast-iron to make steel Now,
metallurgically speaking, there is moth
ing i'm common between iron and steel.
They are more individual than gold and
copper; yet the addition of one part Of
carbon to 90 parts of cast iron con-
verts the mass into steel fit for the
manufacture of the best cutlery, and
it is worth about $500 ton made up.
1t is not like the steel that is used for
bridges and ships, when cannot be
made to take an edge suitable for cut
ting. Yet there is not much difference.
The steel from which ships, rails, etc,
are made costs only from $50 to $50
ton, yet it has only a little less carbon,
from one-fifth to one-tenth of that in
cutlery steel.
Without the small bit OF carbon, iron
would be nearly as useless as gold as
an element of construction, for cast
iron also contains it, only in different
proportions from steel.
There are many steels besides those
in which carbon is the principal agent,
including manganese steel, chrome
steel HarveyiZed steel, nickel, krupped,
etc. But these are manufactured for
special functions only, and nearly all
the steel made in the world to which
civilization owes so much is insigniti-
cant in itself, turning up in various
aliases. In the uninviting form Of SCOT
and coke, in the flashing diamond, in
charcoal in the black lead pencil. in
plumbago, it is the same essential ele-
ment. We do not know in what way
so slight trace of this element works
so tremendous a change in common
iron, transforming it into most aristo-
cratic steel. 1t is believed that iron
holds carbon in solution. as sea water
holds its salts,
Revolution of 1855.
1t was not until 1855 that the age of
steel began to dawn. But it dawned
slowly, and the world was reluctant
TO welcome it. IN the year mentioned,
"Bessemer read a paper before the
British Association at Cheltenham,
which, though the most important
technical contribution of the nineteenth
century. provoked only merriment
among the members. On the morning
of that day Mr.. Bessemer, when at
breakfast at his hotel, overheard an
ironmaSter, to whom he was unknown,
say iaughingly to a friend; DO you
know that there is somebody come
down from London to read us a paper
on making steel from cast iron without
fuel? Did you ever hear of such nom
senseY To these ironmasters the thing

dethroned her, was the greatest iron
and steel producing country in the
world Yet in 1856, when Bessemer an
nounced his discovery to the incredu-
lous world, Great Britain produced only
$4,000 tons of steel But in 1899 she
produced 4,S55,0O0 tons, or over nine
ty-seven times the quantity made for
ty-four years earlier. In the same year
the total production of the world was
26,595, 900 tons. But it was long years
after Bessemer made this output posi-
bic before her late gracious majesty
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1901-08-31

Steel is king. To it 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~pr0gress 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 it 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 it was to England that America
had to go to learn the process and Sc
cure the right to use it.
The process is simple, but it's 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 it's commercial
triumph, the organization of the steel
trust, and the industrial war in which
the steel trust and organized labor en-
gagged.
The Bessemer process of ready steel
making consists of mixing diamonds
with cast-iron. That is a startling state
ment, but it is practically true. At least
dt is true in this sense: A diamond is
composed of carbon. Carbon is mixed
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1901-08-31

States for about $50 a ton, and this
fortunes have been made by the Besse-
mer process, has honored the inventor
by naming seven towns and cities after
him.
A few years after the Bessemer con-
verter was introduced William Siemens
produced steel of similar quality to
Besemer's, but in an entirely different
method, using a large "open hearth"
furnace, in which the iron was first
purified previous to the addition of car
bon. It is said that Abram s. Hewitt
was the first American to use the open
hearth" process. The maker of Bes-
semer steel, on the other hand, pourS
pig iron into converter, and while the
iron is in a molten condition drives a
hurricane of air through 1t, and burns
out the carbon, sulphur and other I'M
purities, leaving pure, soft iron. Then
small measured quantity Of an alloy
of iron with carbon is introduced,
which contains the exact amount OF
carbon and manganese required to con-
vert the iron into steel Of the precise
quality wanted. And, presto! In five
minutes it is ready to pour like a
stream Of liquid gold into the ingot.
Within twenty minutes of the entry Of
the pig, the steel is produced.
The Age of Steel.
Many of us have been born since the
advent of the age of steel. We enjoy
it's advantages quite as matter of
course, and scarce bestow a passing
thought upon it. But consider how
much we should have lost if the inven-
tons of Bessemer and Siemens had not
been given to the world. Then your
trains would not have been so luxuri-
Gus, nor so swift-these are only posi-
BILE on track of steel. The heavy fast
trains of the present day would have
|, crushed the iron rails of the COS out
of shape. Steel, moreover, is used for
railway wheels and axles, and for the
frames which support the cars. To this
material, therefore, the democratic
passenger owes his seat in a yesti-
buled car in the fastest expresses, his
dining car, and berth in the sleeper, be-
cause steel permits the use OF faster,
longer and heavier trains than iron
ever did.
On the ocean the influence of steel is
equally apparent. Without cheap steel
the ocean ferry between the United
States and Europe could not be crossed
in six days, nor that to the Antipodes
in month, because iron ships of the
same strength and capacity would be
heavier, and the cost of propelling the
added weight would absorb the profit.
At the present time, for one ship built
of iron there are more than ninety-niue
constructed Of steel. A modern liner
appropriates enormous quantities of
steel The Oceanic at the time of
launching contained in her hull, with
| out any machinery, about 1000 tons
| The fifteen boilers in the Oceanic. each
| of which is sixteen feet in diameter
| weigh LOO tons.
/ Without steel we should have no ar
mored navy worthy of the name.

the Queen rewarded him with knight
hood. Steel" says trade writer, is
the most precious material which is
used by engineers, for it is the great
est triumph of the latter half of the
closing century, as steam locomotion
was that Of the earlier"
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 90 parts in
the 100 in most specimens. Thus, 49,,
100000 tons of pig iron were used in
1899 in the manufacture Of the worlds
steel.
The steel of which your knives are
made, though strong, breaks off abrupt
ly when overstrained. The steel with
little carbon, though strong, can be bent
md tied into knots, and it will stretch
one-fourth of it's own length before it
parts In two The first is so strong that
bar of an inch square will support a
load OF sixty or seventy tons, the Sec
ond will only sustain half as much. The
first kind is termed cast, because it Is
prepared in crucibles; the second is
called mild steel, because it is of so ac-
cOmmodating and yielding a nature,
enduring almost any amount Of ham

Natural Waters.

All natural waters contain a greater
or less amount of mineral matter in So
luton. Rain water has the smallest
percentage Of solid impurities of any,
and therefore it is taken as the stand
ard variety Of soft water
The terms soft and hard, however,
as applied to water are scientifically
considered purely relative.
Water is usually reckoned to be
soft" when it contains less than one
five-thOusandth part of it's weight of
mineral ingredients and "hard" when It
contains more than one four-thou-
sandth.
Soft water has the property of easily
forming lather with soap, and is
therefore suitable for washing pur-
poses, while hard water will only form
lather, and that imperfectly, with
considerable difficulty
A mineral water has more than one
two-thousandth of it's weight of natu-
raj dissolved acids, and a medicinal
water is a variety of mineral water

nonsensical process of Bessemer's, this
country made over 100000 tons OF
steel, while the United States produced
trif1e of 100000 tons-made from
over 100000 tons of cast-iron with

says:
In 1865, ten years after his inven-
ton, Bessemer and his partners, for he
was not a wealthy man at that period,
were receiving royalties in Britain to
the amount of $1,O0O,0O0 per annum.
Enormous profits were also made in
those years by the steel manufacturers
who secured the right to manufacture
under royalties. They obtained from
5000 to $3.50 a ton for steel, which cost
them only about $50 a ton to produce.
Trade rolled in in huge volumes, until
in 1872 when the first fourteen years
partnership into which Bessemer had
entered expired, it was found that his
firm-Henry Bessemer & CO.-had di-
vided in profits fifty-seven times the
capital invested in the business, or 100
per cent for every two months for
twelve years, while the works, which
had been largely extended out of rev.

the amount of the whole subscribed
capital. In all, the fortunate partners
received eighty-one times their original
capital in fourteen years"

nutrition is in every way satisfactory,

giene. If child does not increase at
the rate of one pound a month during
the first year of life, and twelve ounces
month during the second year, its
nutrition is not satisfactory. If a child
does not grow nearly three-quarters of
an inch every month during the first
year of life and half an inch month
during the second year of life, it is not
satisfactory. The latter is, of course
