The most trivial incidents have often

made out Of Bessemer steel. This
genius. young Bessemer. had some idea
Of making steel out Of iron, but a
poor. newly married young man has
no means of experimenting on large
scale. The story must tell as I heard
It from an intimate friend Of Bessemer
and is a true tale.
After Bessemer had in his small lab
orat0ry experimental with the metals
and at last obtained the desired result
by blowing air through melted iron he
found in the bottom Of the crucible
little lump of the famous steel. Now
the question was how to make the dis.
covery public. He put the lump Of
steel into his pocket and made his way
to Nasmyth Of steam hammer fame.
Placing the metal on Nasmyth's desk,
he told him that he had made this ex-
traordinary discovery. which would
revolutionize the whole metal world
Then came a little incident which
shows what wonderful heads these
Scotch financiers possess. What do
you think Nasmyth said to his excited
inventor?
"Eh. mon. it's vary risky to show
your wonderful invention. The world
is vary dishonest"
To which the aspiring inventor re-
