BESSEMER STEEL.
Just What II Is and What 1t Has
Made Possible.


Made Possible.
Most persons are unaware of the rev.
olution created in industrial circles by
the introduction of the bessemer proc
ess of making steel. This process be-
longs in the same category with the in
vention Of the printing press and the
introduction of the steam engine in its
relation to human progress.
Steel Is compound Of iron with a
small percentage of carbon, which is
rendered malleable by being cast while
IN a state Of fusion. Cast iron is iron
with a much larger percentage of car
bon and other impurities. Bessemers
process converts cast iron into steel by
blowing a blast of cold air through
melted cast iron. The oxygen of the
air burns out the carbon, silicon and
other unwelcome elements until the
right proportion Is reached, and then
the steel is cast.
The effect of the process was at once
to cheaper steel and to increase it's use
enormously. In 1865, when Bessemer
took out his first patent, steel sold in
England for five times its present
price
Sir Henry Bessemer shared the COM
mon lot Of inventors in encountering
1ncredulity when his discovery was
first announced. but he was more for
tunate than most inventors. He lived
to enjoy the rewards of fame and for
tune and to witness the worldwide
adoption of his process
hn
laid down was at Derby, England, in
1897. 1t was placed at a point where
1t had been necessary to renew the iron
rails once in three months because of
lncesSant wear. 1t was not taken up
for sixteen years, during which time
100000 trains passed over it.
1t is to the bessemer process that we
owe the rapid development of our great
railway systems. The giant locomo-
tives that draw long trains across the
continent and the steel rails upon
which they ruiz are due to its discov-
cry. 1t is estimated that the bessemer
process has reduced the cost of land
transportation two-thirds and it has
also greatly cheapened transportation
by water. 1t has opened great tracts
Of fertile country which could not have
been reached otherwise and has given
the farmer good markets. In the de
veiopment Of electric railways it is all
the time bringing together scattered
villages and giving new opportunities
for intercourse.
We owe TO Sir Henry Bessemer thu
improvements in our modern steam,
ships. the strength and lightness of
the bridges which cross our rivers
countless modern forms of machinery
and their cheapened products and the
skyscrapers, which could not have been
built save by the use of steel.-New

DR.. BINGHAM
SERIOUSLY ILL

The Rev. DR.. Hiram Bingham has
for several days been very i'll and fears
have been entertained for his recovery.
Dr.. J. 7. Mcdonald, asked as to
the condition Of his patient, last night
stated that the principal cause for
anxiety in DR.. Bingham's case is his
low vitality and feeble reserve Of re-
sisting power. He has been rather in
firm for many months past, his pro-
longed labors on his GiIbertese die
tionary, recently completed, having
taxed his strength TO the utmost.
About a week ago he contracted a
common cold but kept up and around
as usual for a few days until Dr.. Nc
Donald was called and advised him 70
keep 70 his bed
While his trouble is yet principally
in the upper air passages there is al
ways a dreaded tendency in elderly
natients for the affection 10 insidi-
