PIuckinq Millions Out Of the Air

Practically to pick hundred thous-
and horsepower OFF the tops of eight
roaring blast furnaces and to use il
In performing hundred giant tasks,
is the purpose of q colossal apparatus
now being installed in the wonderful
steel plant building of Gary. Indiana.
So writes II. G. Hunting in the Tech
meal World Magazine for March.
BY means of heretofore unthought
of extension OF the use OF tho blast
furnace gas. the Indiana Steel Com
pany will save and put to work pow
err which has been only partly usea
up to now, and which was once utterly
wasted. And that that power will
entirely displace steam, in the great
mills. and that the rolling Of more
than two million tons of steel ingots
per year will be but one portion o.
the work it will perform. indicates
the tremendous importance of the
innovation.
For every ton of pig-iron whic,.
flowed for many years from the
mouths OF the worlds blast furnaces,
the power Of twenty five horses was
was generated-and wasted. Unrec-
ognized, hundreds of thousands OF
horsepower, that might have moved
the machinery of half the crafts thai
cluster around the most useful of the
metals, was lost in green and yellow
fire works, before men began TO see.
Now. by 2 process that has been n
growth, but which has only Just
reached perfection the gas Is preser-
we'd and used. and the wheels of the
whole great industry of matchmaking
will presently turn before It's power

the Accomec jurIst have been elimin-
ated by the committee with the ex-
coptlon OF that OF immortality. This
charge unquestionably has boon sus-
tanned. Judge Blackstoncs attor-
noys rested their case without at
tempting to refute the allegations OF
witnesses on this charge. TIL end OF
the sensational case is being looked
forward TO with the livlicst interest.
II Is said that IL tho report of the
committee recommends tho removal
of Judge Blackstone. he will immeda-
ately tender his resignation and not
put the state to tho expense OF an
extra session of tho legislature. Men
close to him, however. maintain that
he Is prepared TO fight for vindlcation
to the last ditch. In that event a
special session seems inevitable.
Judge Blackstone must be allowed
30 days In which to complete his de-
Tense. which lapse OF time will more
than consume the balance of tho life
of tho present legislative session.

Without change of countenance, the
pawnbroker made out ticket anu

Right there the racing mans for
