SECTION OF SCHNEIDER MUNITIoN PLANT
forge single pieces of previously un-
heard of dimensions. 1t was because
Of this that the first heavy armor plate
was turned out there and later on the
wonderful turret armOr for French de-
lenses was produced. Subsequently,
with the advent of steel, the hydraulic
press supplanted the hammer, and now
at Creusot there are shaping presses
capable OF squeezing into form great
masses of heated steel-the biggest of
these machines eXerting a pressure of
10000 tons.
Today the Creusot works are rum
ming continuously night and day, and
this vast factory has done its part to-
ward making it possible for General
JCffre TO announce lately that France
has now more munitions than she
needs. Efficiency has been the key
note of the Schneider management,
and the Creusot works are rightly IA
nous for the marvellous coordination
of every department, making it posi-
BILE for the plant to turn out an i'm
mense volume of finished articles with
a minimum of lost motion.
One thing that has contributed very
largely to this state of affairs is the
policy that has prevailed in creating
the administrative and the industrial
personnel. There has been within the
factory an organized system Of educa-
cation that has made it easy for an
ambitious youth to advance. Any boy
showing special aptitude for any
branch Of work has been helped along
to that education which would pecu-
liarly fit him to make the most of his
native talent. This in its turn has pro-
NOTED a bond of interest between the
artisan and his employers, and the ex-
cellence of everything produced at
Creusot bears eloquent testimony to
the advantages of this cooperation.
Curiously enough the original gent
uses of Creusot bore German names
Joseph and Adolphe Schneider, who
started iron works there before 1885,
because the needful iron, coal and
limestone were then within easy reach
In sufficient quantities. That, how
ever, was a long time ago, and the d.
versified output Of the Creusot works
and the size Of the plant today have
far outgrown local resources.
And now at Creusot may he said to
be the vulcan FORCES Of all France,
whose hammer blows on giant anvil
are forging Jove's thunderbolts In
quantities to astound and OF quality
that can destroy much. But, then, de-
struction IS Jove's business.

SIeet, Hail, Snow.

Sleet is snow which has passed
through air above the freezing point,
and thus falls half melted.
Hail is rain which in its descent has
passed through cold layer of air and
been frozen. Two things are essential
to hail-two strata of clouds with OPP
posing electrical forces and two cur
rents of wind.
Snow is the condensed vapOr of the
air frozen and precipitated to the
earth. Snow falls in winter because
the suns rays are oblique and warm
the earth less. thus making the air
colder and producing rain in the form
of snow.
