VIII MAKE IRON BOIL
SCIENTIFIC MEN SUCCEED IN PRO-
DUClNG FIERCE HEAT.
Granuiated Aluminium Mixed With
Oxide Of Iron Resulted In Tenn
perature OF 5000 Degrees Gen.
tiqrade, the Record.

For some years past scientific men
have been striving to produce heat
fercer than any temperature Of which
we have experience in ordinary life.
The greatest heat ever developed by
the agency Of man was obtained by
Sir Andrew Noble, who exploded cord
tie in closed vessels, so that a pres
sure of SO tons to the square inch was
registered and degree of heat never
previously recorded.
The highest temperature reached
in fuel furnaces for practical pur-
poses is between 1,700 and 1900 de-
grees centigrade, and at such a heat
fire clay and porcelain are melted.
. Then we come to the flame fed with
and coal gas; by these means q
temperature of 1000 degrees cent?
grade may be obtained.
A new industry solely dependent
upon the employment Of great heat
is that of melting quartz. This min
eral, fused by the Oxy-hydrogen
fame, is converted into tubes and
TASKS and other vessels for chemi-
cal purposes. These vessels are alb
solutely inert, and may be heated
hundreds of degrees higher than is
possible with glass; they may also
be plunged at such heat into cold
water without injury.
It has been discovered that by
whirling a centrifugal wheel at high
velocity in the combustion chamber
Of furnace the nitorgen is cast to
one side, while the oxygen is con-
centrated, and in this way a bright
er flame and greater heat are OBJ
| tanned. A similar appliance used
during the combustion of coal in q
furnace enables a firm of paper
makers to save q per cent. of their
coal bill by the elimination Of
hydrogen gas formed in combus-
ton
But: most remarkable of all the
phases of the utilization of extreme
heat is the discovery of the welding
material known as thermit. The
inventor discovered that aluminium
is very much attached to oxygen,
and holds it closer than a brother.
Therefore he mixed granulated alu-
minimum with oxide Of iron, for the
lighter metal wants oxygen, and the
quantity Of magnesium filings was
placed on top of the mixture and a
storm-match applied, and immedi-
ately mass of molten iron was
seen boiling at a temperature of
5000 degrees centigrade much
higher than any temperature in or
binary use.
