as it flows out in "a mass of liquid fire from
the furnaces, is dropped into water in such
a way that, instead of becoming solid rock,
it turns into granues or a powder not un-
like sugar 1t is on about the same principle
that shot are made by dropping the molten
metal from great height in the shot-tower.
In this powdered form it is mixed with
limestone an equal part of lime being added,
and it then becomes the very finest of Port
land cement
Continuing the story OF saving the waste,
the scrap iron, and even the sparks from the
furnaces are gathered up and used over
again. There is considerable scrap from
each charge, and this is often in huge Jumps.
1t has to be broken before it can be used,
and this is done by the means of a magnet
connected with the electric dynamos of the
power house The touch of button throws
the electricity into the magnet which, at
tached to a steel cable is SO dropped that it
just kisses, as it were. steel ball as high as
a man. This ball weighs six tons, but it
flies up with the amorous kiss OF the mag
net, the cable raising it to the height of 4

a button, the electricity is removed and the
great weight drops on the scrap Think Of
lifting so much steel that it would take
twelve horses to haul it on wagon over
country roads, to a height of seventy feet,
and you have some idea of the power of
this magnet The same force is used for
loading the steel plates intended for our
batteships. They have magnets here that
would lift fifteen tons of such plates and lay
them on the cars as gently as you drop
your baby on the pillow at night. This is
so notwithstanding some of the plates are
each as big as bed quilt.
The war is rapidly increasing the by
products coke ovens | found this so in
Alabama, and it is being carried on to an
even greater extent at the foot of Lake
Michigan. There are by-product coke
plants at both South Chicago and Gary
The Gary plant is one of the largest in the
country. 1t consumes 10000 tons of Goa
every twenty-four hours and the coal is the
best that can be obtained 1t comes from
the Pocahontas mines, the quality of which
is equal to that of the Cardiff mines OF Eng
land.

they have been built many of them have
been smelling iron continuously for 90 per
cent of their running time
Each of these furnaces is as big around
as haystack and as tall as an eight-story
house. 1t has four great stoves, almost as
big and twenty feet higher, which heat the
air blast to a temperature OF from twelve
hundred to sixteen hundred degrees be-
fore it is forced into the furnace, and it holds
a charge of about seventeen hundred tons
of ore, limestone and coke, which this heat
turns to liquid. These furnaces each cost
in the neighborhood of million dollars to
build, and they would cost two or three
times that if constructed today. They are
the best of their kind and those OF the
Illinois Steel company alone are now turn
ing out more than two million tons OF pig
iron year.
shall not describe the process of smelt-
ing. The story of pig iron has often been
told. The object of the furnace is to rob
the ore of its oxygen and other impurities
and leave only the iron. This is done by
dropping alternate layers of coke, lime
stone AND iron into the mighty towers and
admitting at the bottom a hot blast, which
mets the whole into liquid mass. OF this
mass the iron, on account Of its weight,
drops to the bottom of the furnace and the
impurities of the ore and the limestone
float like soapsuds on top Then by making
hole in the furnace just above the surface
of the iron, the impurities can be drawn off
in the form of Stag, and later on, from a
lower hole the pure pig iron can go out the
same way.
This process is old, but the machinery
with which it is carried on at Gary and
South Chicago is new Almost all the work
is done by machinery. The ore, limestone
and coke are carried up in skip buckets
which take less than minute to raise their
contents from the ground into the furnace.
A single load is from fifteen to thirty thous-
and pounds. and the pulling Of q lever raises

other words for increasing the by-products.
AT the Illinois steel plant they are installing

their foundries, building great gas-driven
blowing engines and adding to their estab-

This coal is OF about the same character
as that which was formerly used in the old
beehive ovens, resulting in product of coke
equal to 90 or 65 per cent of the coal The
remaining 30 per cent of the coal was lost,
going 7out in volatile gases which dissolved
in the air. 1t took seventy-five hours to re-
duce the coal to coke and that was the re-
suit.
Today they make coke in about one,fifth
of that time, and they get 80 per cent of
the coal contents of the coke, while the re-
naming 20 per cent is nearly all saved IN
the way of by-products. This 20 per cent
