Electric Steel.

The advantage of the electric steel
over the steel manufactured by the
old system is its superior purity. and
permits the Introduction of from
twenty to thirty per cent. more car
bon than in the crucible steel. It
can be more easily forged. is not
easily affected, like the crucible
steel. by the damaging influence Of
overheating; 1t is stronger and more
firm, and offers a much greater re-
oi1tance to wear and tear. The new
system also gives added indepen-
dence on account of the very ordi-
nary material used for producing
81 steel. Such advantages have
never been reached by any other sys-
tenn, and it has only recently been
given to the public. This is account
ed for by the fact that the inventor,
DR.. Engineer Paul Heroult, French
man, has kept the success a secret
until he was able to demonstrate to
the public a complete, successful
working plant.
+! The electric process is based on
scientific metallurgical principles,
which are, Of course. the secret of
the invention. while the old crucible
method was q resmelting system,
and dependent upon the use of only
the most expensive ores. This new
process should be Of great interest
to the American steel industry

In an old tree in a shady lane IN
the Park lives a squirrel family. One
day Papa Squirrel ran up the tree as
fast as his little legs could carry him.

Il was afraid l should never reach
home alive. Thank goodness. I'm safe
up here!"

you with stones again? They ought to
be ashamed"
Stones! They were rocks" said
Mr. Squirrel, whisking his bushy tail
angrily. do you know, they were as
big-as big-well, like apples"
Rocks are even bigger than apples,
but the shame is just as great. We
have never done anything to hurt

Papa Squirrel whisked his tail again
and then settled down to his dinner

WHEN YOU CAN'T DO WRONG.
There was a little girl whose name
was Clarine. That is an odd name.
don't you think so?
She was about four years old, and a
plump, jolly little maid, with fingers
which dearly loved to touch and tako
most things that her eyes saw. There
are a great many things which it is
not best for children to have or to
eat, and the mothers have to decide.
Clarine had a kind mother. who
wanted her child to do right, and never
touch what she must not take. She
taught her in such pretty way! I'll
tell you about it. because it's some
thing you can do yourselves.
Every time the mother saw Clarine
looking at anything forbidden, with
wish in her eyes, or saw her fingers
begin to reach out toward it, she
would say in a pleasant voice, Nov,
Clarine, put your hands behind you"
Clarine, without crying, would
straighten up her plump body and
| clasp her hands behind her back. She
knew what it meant, just as quick as
| her mother spoke. You know you
can't touch anything you shouldn't
when your hands are clasped behind
| you.
l have seen Clarine stand that way
many time when good things were
on a table before her, and she never
cried about it.-Home Helper.
