1t Is the Same Steel, but
It Seems to Have
Lost Its Soul

1t is the same steel, but it, too,
seems to have lost its soul At
temperature of $50 degrees
Centigrade the hardened steel
commits harakiri in few min
utes. Surely there is something
strange in that
Then consider this: At zero
temperature water changes from
a liquid and suddenly becomes
solid. But if you put the water
in vase and carefully protect
it from dust you may cool it as
much as 20 degrees below zero
and yet it will not freeze! But

for the phenomena, but, in GER

By GARRETT P. SERvIS:

YTERE is a fact, known to
everybody, which is as
mysterious as would be the
actual appearance of ghost,
by which | mean that the funda-
mental explanation of the phe-
nomenon is about as far beyond
our reach in the one case as in
the other.
The fact to which | refer is
the production of tempered steel
by quenching in cold water. II
hot steel is cooled very slowly
it becomes soft and can not take
a cutting edge, but if it is cooled
suddenly it becomes very hard
and can be ground into keen
swords, knives and cutting tools.
Now why the difference?
Have you ever thought about
that question? If you have not,
many a man of science has, and
has been greatly puzzled over it.
Here is another related mys-
terry. If you heat an old Japa-
nese sword, which for centuries
has retained its capacity to slice

Objects Made of Tin Often

substance" that is, it is in a
metastable condition. If old
glass tubes through which water
has frequently passed are heated
the glass crystallizes and loses
its transparency.
All substances in this state
are liable to change, and the
change, under proper conditions,
may be sudden Hardened steel
is in 4 similar category. If 1T
were as perishable as tin it could
not be safely used for many pur-
poses for which it is habitually
employed. Fortunately, steel ex-
hibits great resistance to change
of state after it has been tenn
pered. Transformation is re-
tarded or arrested. =
Does steel slowly return to,
the stable form and thus grow
softer?' asks Professor Walton,
and then answers: That we do
not know; we can only say that
if such change does take place,
hundreds of years are necessary
to bring it about
The same ancient Japanese
swords, which, when heated, as
before described, become soft,
retain all their hardness if care

1t is evidently of the highest
importance to the practical
world that science is inyestigat-
ing these things and discovering
the way and the circumstances
in which the changes come
about, even if it has not unveiled
the underlying mystery of their
cause.

SONGS OF A COUNTRY HOME
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

rvYHO has not felt his heart leap up and glow
M What time the tulips first begin to blow,
w Has one sweet joy still left for him to know.
@It is like early loves imagining;
That fragile pleasure, which the tulips bring,
When suddenly we see them in the Spring
Not all the gardens later royal train,
Not great triumphant roses, when they reign,
Can bring that delicate delight again.
One of the sweetest hours is this
(Of all think we like it best);
A little restful oasis
Between the breakfast and the post
lust south Of coffee and of toast
Just north of daily task and duty;
Just west of dreams this Island CLEANS
fertile spot of peace and beauty
We wander out the lawn:
We idle by bush in bloom;
The household pets come following on;
Or if the day is one of gloom,
We loiter in pleasant room
Or from easement lean and chatter.
Then comes the mail, like sudden hail,
And off we scatter.
When die in languid August days.
We leave the garden to its fallen ways
And seek the shelter OF wide portlcOS,
Where honeysuckle in defiance blows
Undaunted by the Suns too ardent rays
The matron Summer turns. wistful gaze
Across green valleys, back to tender Mays
And something of her large contentment goes
When roses die
Yet all her subtle fascination stays
To lure US into idle sweet delays
The lowered awning by the hammock shows
Inviting hooks for dreaming and repose;
Oh, restful are the pleasures of those days
When roses die
