full sight! The enormous glowing ingots
were carried on a transfer car to a sort
OF trough. The floor of the trough, or.
table" as they call it, consisted of a.
series Of rollers that were turning rapidly,
Riding on them. the big clumsy ingot
sailed along until it bumped against a.
pair OF large steel rollers. Immediately
the rolls seized it and hauled 1t through,
like clothes through a clothes wringer.
We could not see that it had been fiat
tened down very much, but We noticed
that deep corrugations had been cut into
Its upper surface. AS it moved on the
rollers turned it over on its side before 1t
was caught by the next pair or stand
OF rolls 1t went through four stands in
succession. turning over between each
stand. until 1t had made a complete turn.
Then 1t came to what is called a three
high" mill. which has three, rolls, one
above the other. First, the bloom as
1t was now called, went between the mid
die and bottom rolls; but no sooner had
ii emerged than II was raised bodily, the
supporting roller tables on both sides
of the mill being raised up simultaneous
ly. The rollers of the tables were then
reversed. causing the bloom to start back
between the middle and top rolls. The
tables were now lowered, their rollers re-
versed. and the bloom sent through be-
before; but this time it was switched TO
one side, where the rolls were a little
larger in diameter. and it was a tighter
squeeze getting through them.
And SO the bloom went back and forth,
being switched over to tighter pass
each time until il was squeezed down TO
about eight inches square and over forty
feet long. Then it was cut in two. and
each bloom went through another set OF
rolls that gradually worked it down to

through the rolls, a whistle was blown as
a warning that the rolling was finished
and the rail was now on its way to the
saws. There were five circular saws that
dropped down upon the glowing metal.
and, amid a shower of sparks. sawed it
into four ten-yard rails. After that the

GOLFING HINTS.
BY "sTRAIGHT DRIVE"

THE Baldwin such a wide
variation In the kind Of balls
which may be bought and used
In the game it is not strange that
some players keep changing from
one to another in their quest for
the ball that will fly and roll the
longest distances and yet always
find the bottom of the cup when
lowered with a putter.
1t will be noticed that the lead
ing pro and amateur seek a
ball which can be depended upon
for the approach shot and on the
putting green, rather than one
which may have the greatest re-
silence. AS q rule, too. they pick
balls of full size rather than the
smaller size, said to fly farther
against the wind
A full sized ball Is easier to hit
through the green, because it does
not snuggle quite SO near the
grass roots. and its center, no
matter how placed, is easier to
hit than the smaller variety.
AS a rule the putter is used for
about half the actual strokes
made on round, SO a preference
for a full sized dependable put
ting ball shows sound judgment.

Coal for Four Thousand Years.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The United States geological survey
is authority for the statement that our
original coal reserves contained over
3,O76 billion short tons (2.000 pounds)
of coal. about one-third of which is of
doubtful value. due either to the char
iacter Of the seams or to their great
depth from the surface. To the first of
the current year 1t is estimated that
the gross extraction has been a trfle
less than three billion tons.
The United States is now producing
coal at the rate of half billion tons
per annum. having first crossed that
figure in 1910; although the output for
the year following failed to reach this
record by some four million tons, the
return for 1912 showed that We have
passed 1t SO completely that nothing
but severest depression will ever cause
the production to fall below il again.
The most significant. in fact almost
alarming, feature about our production
statistics is the enormous rapidity at
which the output is increasing. Based
on the production a half century ago.
the coal tonnage has doubled each
decade. up to and including 1910.
