TORCH. OF TERRIFIC HEAT.
New invention Pisrees Twelve Inch
9toel and Yields Aluminium.

New Invention Pisrees Twelve Inch
9tsel and Yields Aluminium.
A torch operated by oxygen and
acetylene, radiating a heat Of $500
degrees, said to be the most terrific
known to science, has been invented
at Cleveland, O., by John Harris.
By means of this torch It Is possible,
1t is declared, to weld aluminium,
heretofore regarded as an impossible.
ity The torch makes fame that
will cut through two inches of solid
steel In less than one minute and
pierce q twelve inch piece Of the hard
est steel in less than ten minutes. 1t
would take saw almost twenty hours
to do this work.
''The uses of the new torch are man.
ifold," said Harris the other day, "be-
cause It opens heretofore impossible
field IN brazing and welding. In dis
mantling old machinery 1t will demon
strate its worth. The torch will cut
through any known metal. and in
wrecking work it will cut into nova
BILE pieces within a few hours ma
chinery that would require months to
dismantle In the old way"
