MAKING STEEL RAILS.
How the Glowing Insots Arc Rolled
Into Shape and Cut.

How the Glowing lngots Arc Holled
Into Shape and Cut.
That rail mill was certainly won
derful sight! The enormous glowing
iDgots were carried on a transfer car
to a sort of trough. The floor of the
trough, or table" as they call It. con-
sisted Of series Of rollers that were
turning rapidly. Riding on them, the
bug, clumsy ingot sailed along until 1t
bumped against a pair of large steel
rolls. Immediately the rolls seized 1t
and hauled 1t through, like clothes
through a clothes wringer. We could
not see that it had been fattened down
very much. but we noticed that deep
corrugations had been cut into its up
per surface.
AS 1t moved on the rollers turned il
over on its side before 1t was caught
by the next pair or stand" Of rolls. 1t
went through four stands In success
sion, turning over between each stand
until it had made complete turn.
Then II came to what is called q three
high mill, which has three rolls, one
above the other First the bloom" as
1t was now called, went between the
middle and bottom rolls, but no sooner
bad 1t emerged than 1t was raised bod
lily, the supporting roller tables" on
both sides of the mill being raised up
simultaneously.
The rollers of the tables were then
reversed, causing the bloom to etart
back between the middle and top rolls.
The tables We're now lowered, their
rollers reversed mud the bloom sent
through between the middle and bot
tom rolls, as before, but this time II
wns switched TO one side, where the
rolls were a little larger In diameter,
and II was a tighter squeeze getting
through them.
And so the bloom went back and
forth, being switched over to tighter
pass each time until II was E.ueezed
down to about eight inches square and
over forty feet long. Then ii was cut
another set Of rolls that gradually
worked II down to the size and shape
OF rail. II was fascinating to watch
that snakelike bar over a hundred feet
long writing as II alive.
As II came back for its last sally
through the rolls a whistle was blown
as warning that the rolling was fin
ished, and the rail was now on it's
way to the saws. There were Eve cir
cular saws that dropped down upon
the glowing metal and amid a shower
of sparks sawed 1t into Sour ten, yard
rails. After that the rails were car.

CLOWN
In HageRbGCk- Wallace Circus
Once An Architect

From the life work Of an architect
TO that of circus clown is a long
jump, but one which was made by
Freb Egener, principal clown with the
Hagenbeck-Wallace circus which
comes to Mt. Vernon, Tuesday, June
2, for two performances For fifteen
years was a past master of blue prints
in his Chicago Office. He was very
successful and he drew the plans and
superintended the construction of
many buildings One day a circus
came to Chicago, and, like hundreds
Of others, he thought he would have
to go and carry the children. He
watched the clowns and underneath
their makeup he saw the seriousness
with which they worked. It impressed
him.
Leaving the show grounds he began
to think about the clowns. He went
to the public library and dug up books
as far back as those which dwelt with
the days of the circus in the Roman
Coliseum. He read about Grimaldi
and other ancient buttons. Then he
began to work out stunts and tricks.
He placed them on paper and deve1-
oped them stage by stage He found
veteran clown who assisted him in
his work. Finally he got job with a
small circus at still smaller salary.
But Egener liked the work; that of
making others happy. The stunts he
developed were really marvellous They
were totally different from ordinary
clowns stunts. scout of the Hagen
| beck Wallace circus saw Mr.. Egener
and Immediately gave him a contract
For eight years he has been "clownin-
for livin'" as Mr. Egener tersely ex-
presses it and apparently he is in love
with the fiapsticks.
1t is a very difficult act that Mr.. Eg-
ener can not get burlesque of some
kind on. Some of his stunts for this
year are: 1.-THE Suffragette Parade; -
"The Atlantic City Board Walk" and
Broadway After Dark" Mr.. Egener
has forty-nine clowns assisting him in
his work.
