of the victims of the accident that

destroyed just because they were too
large and too heavy to get out of
the labyrinth of sand spits among
which high tide had tempted them.
That same kind of accident has been
happening to the inhabitants of the
earth for millions of years, and but
for such accidents we should have
known far less than we do of the
strange creatures that dwelt upon our
planet ages ago.
If the skeletons of those stranded
whales were allowed to lie in Pen
zance Bay undisturbed, becoming
gradually buried deeper in the sand,
they would in time become changed
into fossils, and then a hundred thou

bound to result from that attitude.
But l started to tell you what l
think forms the most beautiful set
ting for beauty-which is health Mag
netism, sweetness of disposition and a
joyous willingness to work. The last
two one can cultivate, but magnetism
charm, the power that breaks down
walls of Indifference and of possible
misunderstanding between human and
human-that is the gift women long
most to possess-and it is the hardest
thing in all the world to analyze.
THE nearest | can come to explain
ing my idea of magnetism is to sug
gest that women give all they can to
life in love, in effort and in the desire
to make others happy. Perhaps in this
way they can add the final jewel to
the setting about their beauty-at
least, SO it seems to me-
Seems, madame? Nay, 'tis-not
seems. For the woman whose power
reaches over the footlights and lunch
con tables alike is the spirit of beauty
and magnetic charm incarnate-so her
little suggestions for magnetism may
surely point the way to all beauty

THE METAL WORKERS
BY EBERT HUBBARD.

~ DON after the British Parlia-
ment passed a law forbidding
the cutting down OF trees for
fuel, Sir Walter Raleigh's ex-
pedition-in 15S5-discovered iron in
this country, and in 1908 a cargo of
ore was shipped from Virginia to Eng
land and successfully smelted. In 1914,
the first ironwoFks was erected near
Lynn, Mass.
In 1740, Huntsman introduced the
crucible process, and various mechani-
cal devices were patented about that
time, which materially stimulated the
steel industry.
In 1888, the invention of J. b. Mel
son the introduction of a heated
blast-caused a tremendous increase
in output. This improvement was &C
companied by Nasmyth's steam ham,
mer, and in 1856 Bessemer gave to the
world a process that was astonishing
and remarkable. The discovery of the
Bessemer process made it possible to
produce steel at such low cost as to
extend its use widely, and did much to
supersede wrought iron in structural
work.
Bessemer steel is now almost unive
rsally used for steel rails. The open
hearth system of Martin and Thomas,
with the regenerative gas furnace of
Siemens, supplies steel that is used in
enormous quantities for all purposes.
Lately science has again prevailed,
lor and Robert Hadfield we have steel
that combines great malleableness
with great hardness-a hardness that
retains it's cutting power even when
at red heat.
And SO we are marching on. From
the savage who in wonder raked from
the ashes of his fire a crude ball of
molten mineral and Stag, with which
he formed a weapon of defense, to the
safety-razor and the automobile of the
Twentieth Century citizen, metal is
supreme.
CARBON AND IRON.
Steel is made by combining GER
tain proportion of carbon with iron.
The process determines it's value
and variety.
The most important OF these pro-
cesses are cementation, Bessemer and
open hearth.
The first system consists in placing
bars of wrought iron between layers
of charcoal in firebrick-lined retorts.
Yellow heat is applied for a certain
period until the required grade of steel
is obtained by the addition of the nee
essary carbon.
This is the steel from which edged
tools are made.
The Bessemer process is directly OPP
posite in principle to the cementation
process The Rassemer burns the car
bon out of the cast iron.
This is done in an egg-shaped fur
mace known as converter, lined with
firebrick and capable of being tilted.
At the bottom, a number of tuyeres or

never to be jealous, or unreasonable,

patient, forebearing and so on.
In short, each was to be pin feath-
cred angel, and their home was to be
q Heaven On earth, but instead this
ushering in a domestic millennium as
they anticipated, each soon began to
be bored stiff, and to long to make a
few dents in the perfection of the 9th
er. Life became insupportable. 1t was
like living on a diet of nothing but
chocolate creams, or in a climate
where there is never anything but
sunshine, and so the victims of the
too much perfection in marriage are
petitioning the courts to divorce them.
This case can hardly be considered
in the light of an awful warning, be-
cause there are not many people who
err on the side of being too good. But
undoubtedly hard as the faulty hus-
band or wife is to endure, the perfect
one would be still worse, for there is
nothing in Heaven or earth that is
more exasperating than the individual
that is always right, unless it is the
person who remains cool, calm, and
collected while you are seething vol

1t is not in humanity to endure per-
lection, especially in its mate, and
that is why the wife of a man who is
an example in the community always
wears a meek, detected look, while the
husband of superior woman is a
sight so abject that it brings tears to

THE SUCCESSFUL WIFE.
1t is also to be observed that the
women who are the happiest and the
best loved wives are almost .invaria-
bly, poor, weak, faulty creatures, who
waste their husbands money on fine
clothes and good times, whereas the
wives who do their duty by their fam
lilies by economizing and working, and
going shabby, never get any thanks
for it. 1t is also discouraging to mas
culine virtue for men to observe that
the most adored husbands are those
whose wives are kept busy forgiving
them things.

BY DOROTHY DIX.

Y S the happy way to be married the
scrappy way?
Is the real emblem of domestic
felicity the prize fighters mitt,
and not the dove of peace.
Can husbands and wives really be
too polite, too considerable, and too
amiable?
Is the perfect husband or wife not
to be desired, after all?
The average married couple would
answer these questions by saying that
an had ever achieved his or her ideal
mate. He or she might have thought
he or she was getting this wonder at
the time Of the marriage. but later
on-say five years afterwards-well,
that's different story, and sad one,
friends.
Undoubtedly we are all in the way
of thinking that the reason that mar
riage is SO often a failure is because
the high contracting parties are not
only shy on a large proportion of the
domestic virtues, but they are also
short on patience, and civility, and
tact, and the most elementary regard
for each others rights and personal
liberty. When we see the way in which
most husbands and wives treat each
other we are not surprised at the
sound of breaking and rending Of mat
rimonial bonds that we hear all about
us. We are amazed that any couple re-
main tied together.
1t appears, however, that you can
overdo good thing even in matrimony
and that a husband and wife can be
too perfect, as witness the case of a
prominent young couple of actors,
who have just separated because they
found an ideal marriage too dull to be
endured.
THE SAME KIND.
This young man and woman were of
the kind of people who take life seri-
ously. Before they were married they
had long heart-to-heart talks in which
they discussed the duties and obliga-
lions of husbands and wives, and for
mulated a grand, sweet song.
They drew up a list of things that
they would do and would refrain from
doing, and pledged themselves never
to speak a harsh word, never to an

extinct, might dig them out of their
bed, and set them up, or suspend
them, in museums as object lessons
in the animal wonders of long-past
time.
Why They Exist.
We do the same thing today. The
most interesting and gigantic fossils
of extinct animals that our museums
contain would never have existed but
for the occurrence of accidents SINH
lar to that which put an end to the
lives of those whales in PenZance
Bay.
The great mastodons whose re-
mains have been discovered in the
United States, which they inhabited
perhaps, when the earliest men were
just beginning to clip flints into the
form of knives and arrow-heads, were
all mired in marshes where they per-
ished miserably because their weight
sunk them deeper with every strug-
gle. We do not find the remains of
the thousands upon thousands of mas
todons that died a natural death, be-
cause they left their bodies where the
regular processes of decay and disin-
tegration could rapidly dispose of
them.
There is an animal of past time
called the iguanodon prodigious
creature twenty-five feet long and
fourteen or fifteen tall which was
evidently very common on the CONT
nent of Europe many millions of years
ago. But huge as were the bones OF
