BESSEMER IRON AND STEEL
Original Process Involved peearboniza-
tlon, or Burning Out Of EXCESS
Carbon, by Blowing Air.

Henry Bessemer, who invented the
method named for him in the manufac-
ture of iron and steel, which revolu-
tionized the industry, was granted n
patent by the British government on
October II, 1855. This was the first
patent given him, notes an exchange.
Additional patents were taken out in
the following December and February,
covering improvements. Bessemer's
original process involved decarboniza-
ton, or the burning out of the excess
carbon, by blowing air through pig
iron. This revolutionary invention was
due indirectly to the Crlmean war.
Bessemer undertook TO invent an i'm
proved cannon, but found all available
metals too weak for the gun he sought
to make. He then began experiments
In steel making, with the ultimate re-
suit of the production of "Bessemer
STEEL" His invention won for him fame
and fortune and the honor of knight
hood, Sir Henry Bessemer was born
In England, but was Of French Hugue-
not descent. Since his pioneer inven-
ton, the process of converting iron in
to steel has been vastly improved.

MURDER AT NORTH ADAMS
Christmas Quarrel Leads to Shooting
of Luigi Bertone.

North Adams, Dec. 25.--Luigi
Betrone, 33 years old, OF Springfield,
was shot three times and instantly
killed this morning at the home OF
his wife, / Moulton Hill, at IL o'clock
and the police are looking for his
brother in law. John Donofrio, "A
years old, who, they say, did the
shooting Not until late hour to
day were the police able to secure an
account of the trouble which led
up to the murder The story is one
OF domestic neglect on the part Of
the murdered man.
According to the story told a
Union correspondent by Mrs. Betro-
no, she was married to her husband
three years ago in Greenfield and
they lived there for one year. Her
husband left her to 90 to New York
to get another job, She did not hear
from him but her brothers here re-
ceived letter from Betrono saying
that they should go to Greenfield and
get their sister as he was going TO
italy
They brought their sister and her
child here and John Donofrio sup
ported her, maintaining separate
household for her.
From time to time he sent money
to his wife hut not enough TO sup
port her. Last night he came home
and this morning after breakfast
while Mrs, Betrono was doing her
work in another room. Donofrio en-.
tered and exchanged greetings with
his brother in law. They sat and
talked for @ few minutes. Then the
wife says, Donofrio took Betrono TO
task for not supporting his family
and Betrono told Donofrio to mind
his own business. There was a
scuffle and before Mrs, Betrono
could get TO the kitchen, three shots
were fired, her husband fell to the
floor dead and Donofrio fed, taking
the revolver with him. The police
were notified but up to late hour
tonight had not located Donofrio.

Massachusetts is doing more for
her soldiers than any other state in
! the Union, following in this matter
the standard which was set during
the Civil war, and careful souls are
looking forward with some dread as
to what the ultimate, burden may
prove to be. This commonwealth is
paying so a month TO every soldier
or sailor of hers in the war, in addi-
tion to what he gets from the nation.

the present act will not continue be-
yond January Is next unless the
time be Xtended-which is consider
ed likely. Atty.-Gen. Barber has rul-
ed that drafted men are not eligible
for the $40, and there will undoubted-
ly be pressure to have them includ-
ed Having made so generous a
start, the legislature may not be dis
posed to draw back from the stand
states are disposed to hold that
Massachusetts has set too rapid a
pace for them in this matter of pay

This IS all right for home con-
sumption, but is about as fair toward
Vermont as other statements which
have appeared in the editorial col

900 for a war fund when our brealt
with Germany came. This was a
larger amount, population and
wealth considered, than the appro-
priation made by the Massachusetts
legislature. Vermont also voted So

and sailors in the war, following
"the standard set in the Civil war
This action antedated that Of Massa-
chusetts, in fact it set an example
for the Bay state. Vermont in addi-
tion, in cases of real need. is paying
800 a month each TO the families

paid the $40 a month extra to her
soldiers who were called into the
