NEW MIRACLES OF STEEL.
What the Laboratory Has Done For the
Automobile Maker.

Writers OF historical fiction perpet-
uate the notion that the art OF the
old armorer has persisted. And yet In
cars sold for only few hundred dol
lars axles and crank shafts are to be
found infinitely superior In texture to
the weapons Of famous swordsmiths.
The tales of supple yet tough blades
that could be bent into circles without
swapping are eclipsed in the less art.

Could the old swords be twisted
through six complete turns before they
broke? An axle shaft can be so twist

Some physic, that thoroughly cleanse
the bowels, sweeten the stomach and
