THE EMPIRE OF STEEL

Most people understand that the
United States Steel Corporation is an
institution of considerable size. out any
no are incredulous on that subject
may have their doubts disIelled by
reading the cOmpanys annual report,
issued on March l6.
The assets OF the Steel Corporation are
stated al Sl,G37.S1l,257--aimost
enough to pay the bonded national debt
Of the United States twice over.
The company's gross earnings for the
year were $3.50, ,33l .73G, which is more
than the entire ordinary annual revenue
of the United States Government. Its
net earnings were 81 l9,7S7 ,GjS-enOugh
to pay the combined allowances OF all
the sovereigus Of Europe three times
over.
The employees of the trust number
$50. 1JS-three times the strength OF the
United States army. These men rep

and children. OF about SOO,rOO Thus

city larger than any 10 North America
except New York, Chicago. or Philadel-
phia. and would Outnumber the whole
population OF the States OF Montana,
Wyoming, Idaho, AID Nevada combined.
Yet those States have eight Uuited
States Senators. while the Steel Corpora
ton has none Of own. although il
NAV have an undivided interest ia sew
eral.
The Steel Trusts production oi iron
ore last year amountd Il 20 lS.lGs. .Jj6
tons. which is far in excess Of the output
of any country in the world except the
German Empire, and is not iar short OF
Germany's.
The Steel Corporation produced TO-
172, 14S tons Of iron in 1903. which is
more than the total production Of Ger
many in 1901, nearly a iourthmore than
that Of Great Britain, and just about aS
much az that oi all the rest of the world
combined.
I'm steel the Corporations lead WAS still
greater. 1t produced l199j, ,239 tons
OF steel bilets and 9.22G,3SG tons Of fin
ished steel products. In each case this
output was lar ahead Of that OF either
Germany or Great Britain and far be.
yond that Of all the other countries Oi

Method of Condensing Milk.

A very simple machine has been
invented in England for reducing
milk to powder. 1t is made of two
cylinders, into which Jet OF
steam is turned that heats them to
temperature of 230 degrees F. AS
these cylinders are slowly turned In
opposite directions, the milk Is
poured into them, where the liquid
portion is at once reduced to vapor
by the intense heat while the solids
adhere to the cylinders In a thin
layer that Is scraped off by two
knives into a sieve as these cylin-
ders revolve. The solid portion is at
once thoroughly dried and reduced
to a powder. If this new invention
should prove to have no obJectiona-
BILE feature, the expense of condens-
ing milk will be very much reduced.
The machinery now used for this
purpose Is very expensive, and the
process of condensing Is not gener-
ally understood, excepting by very
few experts who have been put onto
the secrets of the trade by the manu-
facturers of milk condensing ma.
