her in Jail to await developments and
a preliminary examination, when the
proper information is filed.
Mrs. Kreuger treats the matter
Of her arrest with stoical Indifference,
and when informed that the body had
been found made no inquiry regard
ling it, and seemed to possess no more
anxiety about it than il she was in no
way connected with the affair or the
murdered husband.
Mr.. Kreuger was last seen alive by
any person besides his wife, so far as is
known, Thursday afternoon when he
went fishing in the river, returning to
his home near evening.
He was a member OF the German
Lutheran church and was regular ia
attendance as q rule. Sunday the
sons not finding him at his usual
place in church inquired after him of
their. step-mother, who informed
them that he had packed his grip and
left, Friday night, while she was
milking the cows, and Of his where
abouts she protested the utmost
Ignorance. This aroused suspicion,
and search was began forthwith, re-
sulting as stated hereinbefore.
1t is alleged by the neighbors that
Mrs. Kreugar has been seen number
Of times exploring the river banks and
approaches to the stream in the vicin-
| ity where the body was found.
Mrs. Kreuger while being brought
to Cresco was seriously, i'll and re-
mains quite indisposed. A physician
was called and the contents OF a bnt-
tile from which she drank before leay-
ing home with the sheriff, being an
allied, proved to have been Wood
alcohol, probably taken with suicidal
intent.
The funeral OF Gustave Kreuger
was Thursday afternoon, the inter-
ment in the Lutheran cemetery at
Granger, and was Largely attended.

a NEW WAY OF CASTING.
Steel Ingots Can Be Cast to Better Ad-
vantage by Excluding Air
from the Mold.

In the present practice of casting steel
ingots, atmospheric air and the moisture
which it contains percolate through the
defective joint of the mold, the base
upon which the mold stands. the lower
superheated portion of the mold, and
finally through the fluid steel, rem
dering it plastic. The fluid steel Is
oxidized by the column of air upon which
it rests The oxidized particles, having
greater specific gravity than the rest OF
the mass. are precipitated, come in con-
tect with carbon and form carbon
monoxide gas. 1t is needless TO say that
the oxygen of the steam passing upward
has the same effect.
The nitrogen of the air in passing up
ward forms a mechanical mixture with
the steel and is retained, while the
hydrogen combines chemically with I
portion of the nitrogen to form ammonia
gas When it is considered that atmos-
pheric air is composed of four-ifths
nitrogen. it is evident that the amount of
free nitrogen which is taken up by the
steel must be considerable, especially so
in large ingots. Metallurgists have long
known that the effect of nitrogen is 10
make the steel brittle and hard. For
that reason it is considered injurious.
While the steel in the mold is still fluid
tLiE SdStS UltIllOutu tSCdpts 50 lIisl6 bAAtS
can do no harm. But as soon as crust
is formed they are imprisoned and form
blow-holes. After partial qualification
has set in, the column of atmospheric air
resting upon the partiaiiy-cooled ingot
begins to lind its way downward through
the superheuted inner side of the mold.
and thence passes into the still plastic
steel. Thus the formation of honey
combed steel may be accounted for.
From this brief outline of the usual
method of casting steel it follows that
the chief difficulties to be cOntended with
are the production Of hlowholes and
hOneycOnlb-like cells filled with carbon
monoXide and ammonia gas. The steel
is furthermore charged with nitrogen.
The molecular spaces are filed with in
furious gases so that the steel cannot ne
readily welded.
A Newark inventor. a. J. Lustig. has
patented process in which it is sought
TO overcome the difficulties mentioned.
In this process hydrocarbon gas or vapor
is stored around and under the covered
mold. As soon as the filing of the mold
begins, the superheated hydrocarbon
vapors enter. thus displacing the atmos.
pheric air. The carbon or hydrocarbon is
taken up by the steel independently OF
the freed hydrogen. After the mold is
filed it is covered, and the hydrocarbon
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1903-08-08

vapors are caused to pass through the
steel in order to force outwardly what
ever atmospheric air has entered.
1t is claimed for this process that no
blowholes and no honeycombs are
formed. Consequently no injurious gases
can be retained in the molecular spaces.
1t therefore follows that the steel caa
be welded easily after the first compress
sion of the glowing ingot, either by rol.
ing or hammeriEg. From tests wbieb
have been made it would seem that there
is an increase in the merchantable guam
tity of steel obtained of 10 to 40 per
cent. The tensile strength of steel made
by this improved process is 145,0O0
pounds in contradistinction to 125.000
pounds at present obtained. The elonga-
ton of the new steel is AGO: that of the
old 1.09. The area of reduction Of the
new steel is said to be about 2; that of
the steel at present made is practically
nil. The chief merit of the new steel
however is to be found in the fact thar
it is most readily weldabe.-Scientift
