PRODUCTION OF STEEL.

features Magical.

In 1856 the Pennsylvania le2kslatun
loaned a certain Mr.. HUMPHREYS the
sum OF 9300 for five years, to enable
him ito make steel as good as In Eng.
land. But rs years later, or in 1910,
the total production OF pig iron in the
United States was only So. 908 tons In
1872 it had risen to $4,000 tons. In
1861 it was less than a million tons,
and did not reach that mark until
about 1864, states trade journal
In that year the Bessener convert
er was brought to the worlds notice
and at once began the revolution oi
this great industry. 1t was of Brit
1sh origin, but soon attracted the en-
terprise Of the steel kings of this coun-
try. 1t was simple and comparative
ly inexpensive device by means Of
which common cast iron could be con-
verted into steel in few minutes. Nat
urally the price began to fall until,
from steel costing as high as. or z
cents a pound. at the close of the
century steel billets in lots of 100000
pounds of steel for 2 cents" This de-
veloped the iron industry by leaps and
bounds. The distinctive iron age had
passed. Iron became only the raw
material awaiting conversion into steel,
which was the standard material of
construction in all but a few limited
classes of work.
In 1872 the total annual product of
pig iron had grown to 2,548.713 tons. IN
1880 it was 1886, 191 tons. and the fol.
lowing year over 100000 BY 1891 II
had risen to 8,279,870 tons. and ter
years later 15,878,S7O tons, while last
year it touched 1881, 1907 tons. But
few years ago the open-heartr
process of manufacture began to su.
persede the Bessemer. It had the al.
vantage for this country that 1t would
work almost equally we'll with phos-

The heavy grades of chiffon, known
as chiffon cloths, are excellent blouse
materials, for, though comparatively
light and sheer. they are really dura-
BILE. If it is impossible to get exactly
the shade required in this chiffon. or,
indeed. in any lace, silk or other fabric,
one has but to send goods and a sam
pie of the desired color to a reputable
dyer. There was never a time when
so much special dyeing was ordered by
the dressmakers. and the satisfactory
results are a tribute to the skill of the
modern dyers.
HandwOrk of any and of every kind
is lavished upon these dressy blouses
Fagoting. embroidery, tucking, shir-
ring, shocking. inset lace designs, all
play their part, and the ubiquitous
bouillonee figures as conspicuously
here as elsewhere in the new modes
While the details offer great variety,
the general lines of the blouse are a
trif1e monotonous.
If, as is true in the majority of cases
blouse must be fitted for wear under
a coat, the deep berthe and other
shoulder draperies are out of the ques-
ton. Most attractive blouses owning
such features are offered, and for house
wear are charming enough; but once
crammed into even an ample coat
sleeve, they lose their freshness.
The long shoulder line must be
achieved in some fashion, so the blouse
maker resorts to deep yoke of lace
or handwork running down low over
the shoulders and cut round, pointed
front and back, or shaped irregularly.
The juncture Of yoke and blouse and
sleeves is hidden by trimming, and the
full sleeves have cuffs corresponding to
the yoke

Clouds and running water constantly

these mysterious waves are made to

Yellow river, for instance, could not
